The golf course provides a unique opportunity to connect with clients, colleagues, and potential customers in a relaxed and enjoyable setting (if I’m at least shooting par).
Whether sponsoring a golf tournament, hosting a corporate outing, or simply looking for ways to elevate your brand awareness, high-quality golf apparel and promotional items can make a significant impact.
With summer in full swing, now is the time to take your brand outside on the course, at the range, in the clubhouse, at the grille—everywhere people enjoy the game. We’ve gathered some of the hottest trends in golf swag for 2024, offering creative ideas for gifts, giveaways, and awards that will leave a lasting impression.
Level Up Your Brand with Hot Golf Apparel
Classic Polos with a Modern Twist: A well-made polo shirt is a timeless gift that golfers can use on and off the course. Look for options with moisture-wicking technology, UPF sun protection, and a comfortable fit. Consider a fun and unique color scheme or pattern to add personality to your brand message.
Performance Apparel for the Serious Golfer: For those who take their game seriously, consider high-tech performance shirts, quarter-zips, vests, or jackets. These items often incorporate features like four-way stretch fabric for unrestricted movement and quick-drying materials for ultimate comfort. We source apparel from the top brands, including Nike, TravisMathew, Peter Millar, Fairway & Greene, Holderness & Bourne, and Greyson.
On-Trend Accessories: Remember the finishing touches: Branded hats, visors, sun protection sleeves, headcovers, and logoed golf balls are practical and stylish ways to promote your brand. For cooler days, custom neck gaiters or beanies can be a thoughtful addition to your swag bag.
Promo Powerhouses: Creative Giveaways and Awards
Tech it Out: Portable power banks, wireless earbuds, and phone chargers are universally appreciated tech accessories that golfers can use throughout the day. For keepsake gifts, choose portable speakers and range finder tech combos like Blue Tees golf player + GPS Speaker.
Drink Up and Stay Cool: Custom water bottles, insulated tumblers, and cooler bags are practical and a constant reminder of your brand every time they’re used.
Green-Friendly Options: Show your commitment to sustainability with reusable golf tees, bamboo divot repair tools, and eco-responsible apparel.
Fun and Functional Swag: Think beyond traditional golf apparel. For a memorable giveaway or contest prize, go with branded towels, personalized scorecards, umbrellas, or logoed golf balls.
Beyond the Green: Broader Brand Application
Online Company Stores: Create a company e-store with a curated selection of branded golf apparel and accessories for employees to purchase. This is a great way to boost team spirit and brand loyalty—giving them access to the branded gear they need and want.
Welcome Gifts: Make a great first impression on new hires with a welcome package with a logoed polo shirt, hat, or other golf-related items like portable speakers, sunglasses, and drinkware.
Contests and Giveaways: Host social media contests or employee incentives and giveaways that encourage engagement with your brand, offering logoed golf items as prizes.
