20+ gift ideas for golfers who have everything (golfer-approved!)
If you’re brainstorming gift ideas for golfers who have everything—I feel your pain. Your search likely means one of two things: this person (whether it’s your hubby, boyfriend, or relative) is likely either very good at golf or very wealthy (or both!). That means that whatever gift you give him will either be scrutinized intensely or be something he could’ve bought himself.
First, relax. If this person loves you, which I’m assuming they do because you’re putting so much thought into buying them a gift, they’re going to appreciate your efforts. Second, don’t worry—I have combed the internet and consulted with a real-life golfer to round up a list of the best gift ideas for golfers who have everything.
On this list, we’ve got the hottest brands and items for every budget. Let’s get shopping!
1. Garmin Approach S70, Premium GPS Golf Watch
Newly released in May 2023, the Approach S70 is the latest addition to Garmin’s premium golf watches. It’s sleek, it’s powerful, and it’s here to improve his game. The virtual caddie feature suggests which club to use based on historical swing data, wind direction, and more. It’s the secret weapon any golfer, regardless of skill level, will definitely appreciate.
2. Personalized Titleist golf balls
Titleist is nice because it’s the best ball on the planet. In the 2019-2020 season, 79% of players used Titleist golf balls! Add on the personalization and thoughtfulness of engraving the initials of whom you are giving this gift and this is about as safe as you can get.
3. Bushnell Wingman GPS Speaker
Golf has come a long way from being a game for the wealthy, a place for collared shirt dress codes and doing business deals. Dress codes have relaxed, and the game is consistently evolving. These days, for many young men, the game is a place to socialize. That’s why it is so common for golf groups to play music during their rounds, and for that, he needs this Bushnell speaker.
4. Arcade1Up Golden Tee 3D Golf Home Arcade
Here’s one you won’t see on any other golf gift guide: The nostalgic and legendary Golden Tee arcade game. Bring the good ol’ days at the bar with his buddies into his home! I kid you not, golfers and bar-goers alike go absolutely crazy for this game. Trust me.
5. Nike Show X3 Elite Sunglasses
You can’t go wrong with Nike. Max Optics creates the best vision from all angles, making it easier to track balls by reducing glare. Additionally, the lens of the Nike Show X3 Elite glasses make it easier for a golfer to read the contours of the greens better. This gift is great for style but can also help a golfer’s performance.
6. Titleist Golf Hand Warmer
For the winter golfer in your life, this hand warmer is a must-have. It’s a fleece-lined tube that attaches with a waistband so you can pop your palms inside in between shots. For extra luxury, get him some HotHands packs to throw in for extra heat.
7. Callaway Golf Catch It Clean Hat
If your golfer likes to sport the clean and preppy look, this hat is for him! Crisp white moisture-wicking performance fabric with a pop of bold lines make this one a classy eye-catcher. Plus, you can never go wrong with Callaway!
8. The Have a Day Peach Polo
Made popular by golf influencer @brilliantlydumb, The Have a Day line of golf apparel is definitely having its day in the sun. If he’s in his 20s, drinks, follows Zire Golf on Instagram, and cares about his image—he’ll love this polo. It’s bright and fun with UPF 50+ sun protection and moisture-wicking stretchy material.
9. Bushnell Golf Tour V6 Shift Patriot Laser Rangefinder
Give the gift of “the most accurate, consistent and longest ranging Tour series laser Bushnell Golf has ever released.” Ninety-nine percent of PGA tour players use a Bushnell laser rangefinder—and doesn’t your gift recipient deserve the best? Don’t worry, you don’t need to be a pro to appreciate a rangefinder. This device will help your golfer get more specific distance measurement data to adjust his swing and improve his game.
10. The Big Miss: My Years Coaching Tiger Woods
Written by Tiger’s old swing coach, this book is a New York Times best seller. It’s a common read among golf circles because who doesn’t want to learn more about the world phenomenon that is Tiger Woods?
11. Voice Caddie Portable Golf Launch Monitor and Swing Analyzer
Is he constantly asking you to watch his golf swing in the living room? Does he flood his buddies’ group chat with questions on how to get more power on his drive? He needs this golf swing analyzer. After each shot, he’ll get real-time data such as swing speed and smash factor. He can even practice in the living room with just his club–no ball necessary.
12. Custom leather head cover
This company is top tier when it comes to leather headcovers. Leather is a classic and fits right into the country club boy style. Make it thoughtful and customize one of these to really blow him away. I have given one of these in the past, and it was a homerun.
13. Attomax golf balls – The most expensive golf balls in the world
We guarantee he doesn’t have these! Attomax golf balls recently came onto the scene and are taking the golf world by storm. Attomax calls them the “longest golf balls you’ll ever own.” Definitely will be a hit! (And if you’re still unsure, check out our Attomax golf ball review.)
14. Golf Digest magazine subscription
The gift that keeps on giving. These magazines will be great to help keep a golfer informed on the latest trends, swing tips, and PGA tour news. Knowledge is power.
15. Loma Sunday Golf Bag
Different from a regular golf bag, Sunday golf bags are lighter and hold fewer clubs (putter, 7 iron, and wedge). If your golfer goes to play par 3s or just to play a few holes or to the range, he won’t have to lug around his heavier bag with this stylish Loma Sunday golf bag.
16. Titleist Merino Wool Mens Golf Beanie
For chilly days on the course, this 100% Merino wool beanie brings warmth and style. It even has a moisture-wicking sweatband and temperature-regulating liner.
17. Artisan Crafted Cashmere Flex Quarter-Zip
Peter Millar sells premium golf apparel that anyone with taste will appreciate. This artisan-crafted cashmere sweater exudes sophistication and style. It’s made with 3% Lycra to give it a four-way stretch.
18. Personalized Golf Scorecard & Yardage Book Holder
Ever watch the PGA Tour on Sunday? Scorecards are a necessary part of every round, so might as well make it fun. This golf scorecard holder is leather and can be customized with initials.
19. DisplayGifts Golf Gift 49-Golf Ball Display Case Cabinet Rack
Keep the memories alive with this classy mahogany display case. It has a green felt background and dimples on the shelves to hold the balls in place. And the best part? There is NO assembly required!
20. Golf Series Cologne – Blue, Fragrance for Men
Does your man smell when coming home from the course? We have the perfect gift for him: this golf-inspired cologne! This has hints of basil and orange for a fresh, citrusy scent.
21. SelfieGOLF Swing Smartphone Holder
Winner of the PGA Best New Product 2017, SelfieGOLF clips onto any golf bag, alignment stick, iron, or driver (and can even stand stable on the ground) to make hands-free smartphone recording easy. With this device, he can analyze his golf swing as often as he’d like (and finally stop asking you to record him).
22. A round of golf–with you!
Perhaps the golfer who has everything has everything because money is no object. In that case, he could, theoretically, buy any item on this list himself. But you know the one thing he can’t buy? Time. The ultimate gift you could give him, whether he’s your dad, spouse, or friend, is time spent with you. If you play golf, he will be absolutely delighted if you buy him a round and play alongside him.
To do this, call up his favorite golf course (or one he’s been wanting to try!) and ask if you can buy a gift card or voucher for a round of golf. Alternatively, you can buy a Go Play Golf gift card, which is redeemable at 5,000+ golf courses nationwide.
What NOT to buy a golfer
Perhaps you have some gift ideas on your list that you’re unsure of. I checked with a golfer, and here are two things he says NOT to get:
- Books are often not ones that your golfer would read (unless it’s the Tiger Woods one we recommended above!). So unless you know he’s been wanting to read a specific book, skip it.
- Golf clubs: Equipment like this is extremely personal. He’ll likely want to try it out himself before buying.
