Best golf gifts: 11 stocking stuffers perfect for every golfer in your life

Hats and earbuds and video games, oh my!

Happy holidays from GOLF.com, your ultimate gift guide source for all of the golfers in your life (or yourself, of course). This season, we’ve done the legwork for you — finding all of the best items and deals. All you have to do is scroll down! Check out our Pro Shop for even more golf goodies.

What to get for the golfer who has everything this holiday season? Why, I’m so glad you asked.

As a matter of fact, through some remarkable consequence of good fortune, I am the golfer who has everything. In the last 12 months, I’ve traveled around the world, seen (and played) incredible golf courses, and sufficiently experienced life as one of the luckiest idiots alive. I have my own clubs, my own sense of golf style, my own trinkets and gadgets and gizmos and about a zillion tees, give or take a few.

As such, buying golf-related gifts for me is a task that ranges somewhere between impossible and outright insane. And that, dear reader, is precisely why I’ve collected the list below of stocking stuffers perfect for all golfers. These are the gifts that golfers want, even if they’re too scared to admit it. The gifts they need. And also, the gifts they’re excited to receive.

True to name, we put in our best effort to make these stocking stuffers are not only small in size, but also in price (with a few exceptions we just couldn’t leave out!).

Life-changing (or saving) socks

In July, I walked 90 holes in 100-degree heat with three coworkers. I’m certain the Bombas socks I changed into with each round was the only reason I survived. There is no product on earth like these socks. Buy a pair and prepare to have your mind blown.

Bombas Socks

$10-120
Elite socks made for every activity, Bombas are one of life’s little luxuries, and goodness, are they great. Uber-comfortable, sweat-wicking and loaded with cushioning, you’ll never want to wear anything else.

Sunscreen!

Sunscreen is perhaps the most overlooked item in a golfer’s arsenal. That is, until they get stuck outside without it and wind up wearing second-degree burns across their arms, face and neck. Don’t let the golfer in your life be that person.

Never go thirsty again

Perhaps you, like most of the waking world, received a Yeti of some kind as a stocking stuffer for the holidays one of the last two years. If you didn’t, what are you waiting for!?! Now’s the year. Yetis are seriously cold, seriously durable, and seriously convenient for sneaking out on the course with a road bevy. We can’t recommend in high enough terms.

YETI Rambler 14 oz with Magslider Lid

$30
The YETI Rambler 14 oz. Mug is the most untraditional mugs on the market. Unlike traditional mugs, this double-wall vacuum-insulated body protects hands from hot or cold contents while keeping coffee, chili, oatmeal –you name it –well-insulated. All Rambler Drinkware are dishwasher safe making them easy to clean. The mug’s wide opening means contents are easily accessible, but will cool quicker. That’s why the mug comes with the MagSlider Lid, it adds an additional barrier of protection to prevent heat or cold from escaping, but please note —the magnet component is not leakproof and will not prevent spills. Important: Do not place mug over external heat source or open flame. Vacuum seal or other damage may occur.

And finally, a way to spend the hours OFF the course

PGA Tour 2K21

$14
Sure, it’s been out for a minute, but 2K hasn’t stopped making additions to the game ever since it was released last year. For those who can’t get enough time on the course, there’s nothing better than adding a video game to the mix.
