Springtime is home to some of the best lightweight jackets for men. These lighter layers shed the bulk of fall and winter coats in favor of flexibility and breathability. Denim jackets and chore coats remain popular seasonal options, but the golf jacket is one of the most underrated styles to have in your spring arsenal, and recently, one of Amazon’s bestsellers got a massive price cut.
The Weatherproof Original Golf Jacket is on sale right now for as low as $47—up to 62% off the typical $125 price. These vintage-inspired jackets have earned more than 4,000 five-star ratings, which is enough to make them the No. 1 overall bestseller in their category. There are a variety of muted shades of gray, blue, and brown to choose from, as well as an eye-catching hue called Lemon.
Weatherproof Original Mens Golf Jacket in Fog, From $47 (was $125) on Amazon
Weatherproof’s golf jacket is a simple zip-up jacket with a pointed collar and ribbed cuffs and sleeves, similar to a bomber jacket or the Baracuta Harrington jacket. It features a spread collar with a button for extra coverage on blustery days, and the outer fabric is made from a blend of polyester and nylon. There are two welt pockets as well as an inner stash pocket. The roomy cut of the jacket makes it easy to move around in, whether or not you intend to play golf.
It’s also an incredibly versatile piece, which led one shopper to call it the “perfect lightweight jacket” and add that it’s “sufficient to protect against cold breezes.” Likewise, another shopper called it, “Stylish and comfortable,” adding that it’s “perfect for cool spring and autumn days.”
Weatherproof Original Mens Golf Jacket in Navy, $50 (was $125) on Amazon
Other shoppers have found Weatherproof’s golf jacket to be a great modern version of favorites in the past. “I have been looking for a good spring/fall jacket like this one for a long time,” a shopper said. “I had one years ago and my son borrowed it and, of course, left it somewhere…I have purchased at least three replacements, and none of them had the qualities I was looking for similar to my old one—comfortable fit, wrinkle-resistant, wind-resistant, and easy to clean. This jacket has all that and more.”
Thanks to its lightweight construction, warm lining, and water-resistant shell, this golf jacket is the ideal spring layer that can be worn on chilly summer evenings, too. If you think this is the best spring jacket for you, make sure to get one quickly while it’s still on sale.

Nike is popular among golfers for its sneaker-like golf shoes, comfortable golf pants, and sun-protective headwear, but it’s the brand’s golf shirts that never fail to provide a fresh look when you’re hitting the links. And you pay a premium for the pleasure—Nike’s golf shirts typically run around $80 a pop. But recently, a bunch of styles went on sale at PGA Tour Superstore for as much as 51% off, and they’re a must-grab while they’re still available.
Among the selection is a vast array of Nike’s Dri-Fit golf polos, including some from the Tiger Woods collection, which are vibrant, breathable, and perfect for any golf setting. There are also some classic hats, outerwear, and shorts available for as low as $15. After Men’s Journal had a chance to look through the Nike golf shirts that were on sale, we found these four that are a must-wear for the upcoming season.
Nike Dri-Fit ADV Tour Men’s Camo Golf Polo, $52 (was $105) at PGA Tour Superstore
This Nike golf polo is from the Dri-Fit series and features moisture-wicking and temperature-control properties that are a must-have for spending time outside in the sun. It’s been cut to a length that’s good for tucked and untucked wear and offers a splash of color in a space typically dominated by boring colors. This shirt also sports a cool monochromatic camo print on the front and back to add visual intrigue. We’re glad the green Nike chose isn’t grass-colored—otherwise you’d blend right in.
What Shoppers Are Saying: “Perfectly good shirt for on and off the course! Worth the price you pay. Great quality and comfort. I will buy another color in the same style.”
The Therma-Fit Victory Quarter-Zip golf shirt is what you wear when you expect clear, sunny skies right before tee time and Old Man Winter shows up out of season instead. Lightweight and stretchy, this mid-layer shirt provides enough warmth for chilly days that won’t limit your natural swing motion. It’s on sale in navy and gray in a full range of sizes from small through 2XL.
What Shoppers Are Saying: “This jacket is great for a round of golf and also just as comfortable when worn around the house. Can be dressed up or dressed down. Overall I’m happy with this purchase.”
This is one of the more traditional-looking Nike golf shirts on sale right now at PGA Tour Superstore. It sports a classic navy and white stripe pattern that’s a lock to wear with any style of golf pants. This is the last colorway of its kind and is available in a full run of sizes between small and 2XL. We’re guessing it’ll sell out pretty quickly at just $43.
What Shoppers Are Saying: A man of few words, the sole reviewer of this shirt said everything you need to know about it: “Lightweight, very comfortable.”
For something truly seasonal, turn to the now-$53 floral Nike golf shirt in yellow. It’s bursting with enough brightness for you to forget about the past few dreary months while keeping you comfortable with its breathable, nonrestrictive fabric. It’s also available in teal, but sizes are starting to sell out.
What Shoppers Are Saying: “Golf shirt of the year for Nike. Comfortable, looks great, fits great.”

Though Arnold Palmer-era knit sportswear has made a comeback through menswear trends, the golf scene isn’t buying it. The sport of golf has modernized and continues to get younger, trading plaid knickers in for performance fabrics from new brands that continue to redefine what’s cool—including the shoe game. And while the best golf shoes today can cost upward of $250, Men’s Journal spotted one popular style from rising star G/Fore that’s nearly $100 off right now.
The G/Fore MG4+ Golf Shoes are now on sale at PGA Tour Superstore starting at $130—up to a 42% discount on the original price of $225. There are currently three discounted colors to choose from that are available in sizes 8 to 13. This is a bestselling style from premium brand G/Fore and one with a very unique attribute.
G/Fore MG4+ Golf Shoe in Blue Camo, From $130 (was $225) at PGA Tour Superstore
These golf shoes are a crisp balance of lightweight and hardy. Its fully waterproof synthetic upper locks out moisture while the non-slip rubber outsole provides ample traction thanks to two different tread patterns. Comfort is key with golf shoes, and that’s where the MG4+ shines. Not only is there a bouncy EVA midsole that provides shock-absorbing comfort for the days the carts are broken, but this shoe features the brand’s signature nubbed footbed that provides a sort of acupressure sensation to quell angry feet in stride.
More thought is going into golf apparel and footwear today than ever during this recent revival period. It’s a shift that has attracted new products and sparked more creativity from brands like , Chubbies, and even William Murray, which is a line inspired by the golf life of Bill Murray and his brothers. But there aren’t many footwear companies making cooler styles than G/Fore right now, and many shoppers would agree.
Shoppers love the G/Fore MG4+ Golf Shoes because they’re lightweight and easy to wear, offer a new way to think about style on the golf course, and, above all, feel amazing. “Incredibly comfortable,” one shopper stated. “Already have eight walking rounds in them. The insole is so, so comfortable with small bumps that almost massage your feet as you walk… I used to wear Ecco and these are the new go-to, already bought a second pair without laces.”
It’s a shoe that seems to convert once-diehard brand loyalists with ease. “This is my first pair of G/Fore’s and I love them,” another shopper said. “I was previously a Nike golf shoe guy but I’ve heard great things about these shoes and they did not disappoint. Stylish and super comfortable.”
Are there cheaper golf shoes? Yes. But for $95 off, the G/Fore MG4+ offers a unique split between classy and cool that allows your charming personality to shine through. We’re not sure how long the deal will last, so if you’ve been looking for a great pair of golf shoes that look good, perform well, and feel great, pick up a pair of these while the getting is good.
If there’s a golfer on your gift list this holiday season, there’s probably no easier person to shop for. Players are always in need of stuff—whether it’s a sharp new polo, an unembarrassing hat to fend off summer’s blazing sun (or a snowbird winter day), or a replacement box or two of quality golf balls. You see, the best gifts for golfers don’t have to be out of the box. In this case, practical gifts are the way to go.
Golfers love receiving cool new gear, and now’s the time to order it with the global supply chain still in total flux. So whether the duffer in your life is a scratch player or doesn’t even bother to keep score, here’s your greatest kit list. There’s definitely something here they’ll want to wear or wheel on the green.
These Holiday Gifts for Golfers Are a Hole-in-One

1. Lyle and Scott Eagle Print Polo
Polos are the unofficial uniform for golfers. They’re always in need of a fresh one. Venerable UK maker Lyle and Scott is finally crossing the pond and making their wares available in the U.S. This polo is made from moisture-wicking fabric and features a pattern based on the brand’s signature logo.
Players will log about 12,000 steps for an average round of golf. That’s a long walk, so help your golfer stay fresh on their feet with a new pair of kicks. These True Linkswear True Lux Pro Shoes are made from waterproof Napa leather and use a padded heel cup paired with a super soft insert—minimizing the impact of each step.
For those who prefer long sleeves, Chervò Atos 105 is made from stretch thermal jersey—offering extra warmth and sun protection while remaining light and breathable. Perfect for both late and early golf season, the shirt’s crisp white aesthetic with ribbed, striped collar will play any time of year.
Players who want to hit the course as the temperatures drop need an extra layer in the bag to stay warm. Galvin Green’s Dominic not only insulates but allows moisture out and stretches with the golf swing. We love that 90 percent of the fabric is made from recycled plastic.
The Malbon LA boutique makes some of the most fun collaborations in the golf space—plus their logo is one of the better first tee conversation starters. This rope ball cap with a “dancing buckets” emblem is a lark for those in the know, and something the uninitiated will want to be let in on.
You don’t just want golf pants that look good—but a pair that behaves well. The Bonobos Justin Rose Highland Pant isn’t just sharp on the eyes and soft on the skin, but smartly constructed with flexible panels that aid movement and a gel shirt-gripping waistband that prevents the half-untucked look.
The Titleist Pro V1 is the most popular golf ball out there—“providing total performance from tee to green,” say its makers. Golf ball reviews (and, yes, there are many) generally tap the VI as offering the greatest combo of speed, spin and aerodynamics. There’s no question your player will appreciate an extra dozen or two of these. Remember what we said, the best gifts for golfers are usually the most utilitarian.

8. The Clover Single-Barrel Straight Tennessee Whiskey
When Bobby Jones won the Grand Slam—then known as the Impregnable Quadrilateral—he had his gold four leaf clover lucky charm in his pocket. This whiskey label pays tribute to his legacy. Sweet and spicy, This is the perfect bottle for a post-round tipple or sharing on the course with the rest of the foursome.
This workhorse is equipped with everything your player needs in a golf bag—and (also important) nothing they don’t. The PXG Lightweight Carry Stand Bag is a featherweight 4.6 pounds and impressively versatile. Four-point carry straps make it easy on the back. Eight pockets include a microfiber-lined one for your watch or phone, plus ample storage space for everything else you’ll need on the course.
Golf was designed as a sport to be walked. That said, if your player has a tender back, this push cart will keep the game fun, not painful. Walker Trolley Cape Model 1.5 is the Ferrari of push carts. Fast on the course, it’s constructed from high-quality materials like waxed canvas, leather, and anodized aluminum. This is one of the best gifts for golfers because it literally has their back.
