Being comfortable on the golf course should be a top priority for any golfer, and sometimes a traditional stiff collared shirt just won’t cut it. At a lot of country clubs, you’ll still be required to sport a collar regardless of how uncomfortable it is, but at the large majority of public courses and driving ranges, it’s not essential at all. When this is the case, it doesn’t hurt to sport a piece of athletic wear or a workout top instead of the classic golf polo.

Workout shirts tend to have the best stretch, moisture-wicking technology, and breathability. There are golf-specific shirts with these same features, but a basic workout shirt should do the trick, and it’s a versatile addition to any closet. Here are eight athletic shirts that can easily work for both the gym and the course.
This head-turning top from lululemon may have tennis in the name, but it'll look great on the golf course—and is designed to perform, too. It's made with an abrasion-resistant fabric that won't catch or pull, so it'll last for more than just one season. The fabric is also engineered to be sweat-wicking, have four-way stretch and the jacquard texture makes it naturally breathable. It's a slimmer fitting top, meant to move with you—so if you want a roomier fit, we recommend sizing up.
