Shopping for the golfer in your life can be a tedious task. Between gag gifts, ever-evolving golf equipment, and new clothing companies popping up every week, the idea of choosing the perfect present for the upcoming holiday season can seem both daunting and scary.
That’s where we come in. Below are some of our favorites that the CBS Sports golf team has perused throughout 2025. These range from clothing to items that make golf more fun, to aids that help you recover after a game in the clubhouse or at home while relaying.
The advantage of many of the products listed below is that they are also great for everyday use. Let’s dive in.
Drive 5 Pocket Pants ($85 | Under Armor)): There’s something about golf pants that apparel manufacturers alone can’t understand. While most have failed, Under Armor has grown in this space at an affordable price point at a time when good deals are difficult to find. These pants are versatile, comfortable, and, let’s be honest, will hold up when you’re faced with that awkward stance you’ll probably find yourself in at least once during your round.
TKO Parka ($140 | no limit): These were available at the Ryder Cup and have rarely left our bodies since. It’s everything you want in a hoodie. Good for a workout or walking around town, dressy enough for the golf course, and comfortable enough to lounge on days when you can’t play a round of golf. The hood is also perfectly sized and has a nice blend of sturdiness and workability, something that always seems to be overlooked by parkas. Crazy, right? As the name suggests, this is a complete knockout.

Shaw Crewneck Sweater: Heathered Saffron ($225 | Holderness & Bourne): Professional golfers want more cashmere layering pieces, so incorporate cashmere sweaters. Boasting a blend of merino wool and cashmere, this sweater from H&B might be the gold standard for pieces you can wear not just for 18 holes, but also on a date night, drinks with friends, or reading a book by the fire. It’s one of those pieces of clothing that is so versatile and timeless that it feels like it was made for everyday life rather than golf.
Fender x Teufel Rockster Go 2 Speaker ($99.99 | Teufel): Whether you’re a serious golfer looking to unwind after a round or just looking to have some fun on the course, there may be no better way to listen to music on the go than with Rockster 2 Go. This rugged device is shockproof and can withstand cold weather, avoiding complications caused by dust and water. The classic Fender design gives it an incredibly enviable look, and Teufel audio technology delivers high-quality sound. With up to 28 hours of battery life, USB-C fast charging, and a strap to attach the speaker to any item, it’s the perfect gift or personal purchase.
VKTRY Recovery Slide ($79.99 | VKTRY): Any golfer knows how tired their legs can be after playing 18 holes, especially after walking the entire course. Enter the clubhouse, take off your golf shoes, and speed up your recovery with perhaps the most comfortable slide on the market. Available in white (pictured) and black in both slide and clog styles, these shoes feature a three-layer recovery system that includes an ultra-cushioned footbed to promote blood flow, a carbon cloud core to increase responsiveness, and a contoured sole with a raised arch to encourage natural movement as you walk.
Chip Shot Parka / Big Hitter Rope Hat ($112 / $38 | William Murray): Bill Murray’s name has long been synonymous with “fun” golf, and his clothing line is no exception. The Chip Shot Parka is basically a re-imagined golf polo, and can be worn as a lightweight outer layer or under a jacket. Additionally, the sizing is spot on, which is not always the case with golf gear. Among the several movie-related items provided by William Murray is the big hitter’s hat. According to their description, the hat is “specially made for the son of King Rama
ColorVision 88 with HD Gray Lens ($48 | BluBlocker): If you’ve seen “Happy Gilmore 2,” you’ve seen Adam Sandler do these throwbacks throughout the movie. This reissue of the super-popular color from 1988 is lightweight and comfortable. Provides excellent shade around you and protects your eyes wherever you look. Optional polarization with classic BluBlocker amber lenses is a $20 upgrade for an even more vintage look. Whether your friend, colleague, or family member is a casual golfer or a bit more serious, they can benefit from these sunglasses.
Richard Boxer ($41 | B. Draddy): It’s probably not what you were expecting while reading our golf clothing gift guide, but hear us out. There are few things better than playing a round of golf, taking a shower, freshening up, putting on clean clothes, sitting back, relaxing, and talking to your friends and family about all the shots you just hit. It has to start somewhere, and that’s with the boxers. These from B. Draddy are Pima cotton, which is super soft and doesn’t contain the synthetic materials that should be used in sportswear and some outerwear.
Game Changer Joggers ($108-$65 | Public Rec): Tired of traditional golf pants? These joggers are buttery soft, extremely versatile and extremely stylish, making them perfect on and off the course. Generous stretch material allows for unrestricted movement, and mid-weight fabric means you’ll never feel too hot or cold. These are also great travel pants with an elastic waistband, front and back zippers, and a faux front fly, allowing them to be worn in a variety of locations. It comes in eight colors, three of which retail for just $65.
Be the Ball Golf Towel ($29 | Par Bleu): Available in a variety of styles and colors, this luxury golf towel is made from a unique microfiber that maintains its color and durability even when washed in cold or hot water. The latter may be necessary depending on how often you find balls in sand or mud. This “Be the Ball” style stands out because it blocks outside noise and frustration from entering your mind during your swing, reminding you to stay in the moment and focus on the game.

It comes in four colors: Sage (pictured), Indigo, Black, and Black XRF, and there’s also a 15L version if 24L is too big for you.
