7 GOLF staff favorite golf hats

If you don’t own a closet full of hats, do you really work in the golf industry? But seriously, we love and appreciate a good hat here at GOLF. Here are some of our favs from this year.

Oh, and scroll to the bottom for a few more honorable mentions that are worth checking out.

J. Crew Garment-Dyed Twill Baseball Cap

Nick Piastowski (Senior Editor): To be honest, this is a basic-looking hat. But I like that. My golf should be the thing that’s doing the talking; not my lid. The hat’s adjustable. There are multiple colors to choose from. And I’m not going to lie — the Roys on Succession wore something very similar, and I liked the vibe.

Personalize with a monogram +$10

TRUE Linkswear – THE HAT CHEF

Ryan Barath (Senior Editor, Equipment): As a golfer with a noggin that skews to the larger side, I’m a huge fan of the hats True Linkswear offers, and having the ability to pick my color and patch is a win-win.

American Needle Trucker Style Hats

Alan Bastable (Executive Editor): I’m guilty of buying a hat and, assuming it fits my head, wearing it to death. That’s where I’m at right now with an American Needle Trucker-style lid I picked up in August at one of my favorite courses. It’s lightweight but holds it form, and the brim is the perfect amount of stiffness to hold just a touch of curvature. My hat’s off to this sweet cap.

Over 100 years of quality headwear

Swannies Golf Hats

Dylan Dethier (Senior Writer): Swannies makes some incredible hats — specifically the Delta hat. Comfy. Sweatproof. Comfy. Lightweight. And comfy. I get headaches easily, especially when I wear hats, because I am a weak man and came slightly defective. But not with this one.

Swannies Delta Hat

$30
It all began with summers looping at fancy country clubs and golfing $5 munis. Swannies is known for debuting the first ever spiked golf sandal (for the casual golfer, of course…).

Sunday Golf Dad Hats

Marley Sims (Assoc. Mgr, Commerce): It’s a close runner-up between this hat and the Nicklaus Golden Bear Cap. It really just depends on my outfit, but if I can work this “Sunday Golf” pink hat (which is also available in 5 colors) into my outfit, it’s a safe bet that I will. This dad hat always gets many compliments.

ON SALE

American Needle Lightweight Rope Hat

Jack Hirsh (Assistant Editor): I had been wanting to add a rope hat to my collection, but nearly every one I found had way too high of a crown. Finally, I stumbled on the American Needle version at Royal Portrush and I could finally buy one that doesn’t make my head look enormous.

More styles available.

Schlitz American Needle Rope Snapback Hat

$29.99
Founded in 1918 as an importer of sewing needles, American Needle has evolved over four generations into a world leader in headwear manufacturing.

Bad Birdie Men’s Bucket Hat

Marley Sims (Assoc. Mgr, Commerce): Hi, me again. As for my current favorite bucket hat, I have to go with the one from Bad Birdie. It never loses its shape, is super light and it fits like a dream. The drawstring even detaches in case it’s not a windy day. It says it’s for men, but I wear it anyway.
