Just about everybody wears a hat on the golf course.
Unless you’re Robert Rock, Ingrid Lindblad or Rory McIlroy at the Ryder Cup, you’re probably going to wear some sort of headwear to keep the sun out of your eyes.
Aside from solar protection, hats can make or break an outfit. Whether you like to keep it nice and simple or you like to throw in a pattern or offbeat color to finish your look, we have you covered.
If you value visors or are a member of the bucket hat brigade…don’t fret, you’ll get your own lists later this spring.
As the warmer weather inches closer, Golfweek is making sure you have everything you need to look and play your best this year. From drivers and wedges to polos and shoes, we’ve put in the leg work to give you more time on the golf course.
