Golf and sweaters are like iced tea and lemonade. They just make sense together. In fact, some of our greatest golfing legends have taught us not only how to swing a club but how to iconically sport a cardigan. From o.g. GOATs like Arnold Palmer and Chi Chi Rodriguez to today’s golf Twitter-breaking sweater-wearers such as Jason Day and Tommy Fleetwood, there’s ever-growing proof that nothing beats the cardigan when it comes to golf threads.
In this roundup, we’ve highlighted some of the latest fall/winter drops from favorite golf brands big and small that bring a signature spin to the golf cardigan while preserving all of the cozy, performance-enhancing silhouette’s legacy, heritage, and timelessness. With options for men and women, here are some of the classiest, coolest retro-inspired golf cardigans to wrap up your wardrobe this season.

Statement white trim gives this weave an elevated feel, able to take you from the fairways and beyond. This dusted sage makes for an earthy staple, but the navy pinstripe model is just as preppy with its polyester-cotton blend.

BUY NOWFore All Dot Cardigan - Pinstripe Indigo
For the ladies, this baseball-inspired duster features varsity lettering along the front chest pocket and a snarky, playful script along the back reading “chasing balls” for a witty upgrade to the golfing classic. In addition to this Americana blue, a rich emerald is also on offer.
$180
BUY NOWDevereux Scorpion Cardigan
Made entirely of cotton, this cashew-colored sweater brings some good ‘ole Southwest charm and punch in the form of embroidered scorpion detailing protecting, like a good omen, the silhouette’s two front pockets.
$114
BUY NOWWilson Sport Professionals Cardigan
The open knit weave here means this cardigan is truly breathable, designed to keep you protected from the elements with its airy fit. The textured weave enlivens this minimalist sportsman’s staple, which comes in either a classic Tennis white and bold navy.
$49 (was $118)
BUY NOWCallaway Legacy Collection Mens Color Block Golf Cardigan Sweater
A modernized beige gets a sophisticated upgrade in this luxurious Merino wool throw. The fiber is inherently moisture-wicking, designed to keep you warm and dry through tough plays. Don’t miss the details, like the asymmetrical sandstone color-blocking cuff along the upper arm.
$149
BUY NOWPXG Women's Alpine Scout Cardigan
A rolled collar provides a vintage, stolen-from-the-boys feel, here elevated by a playfully shaggy, textured faux mohair. It’s deliciously soft while being roomy enough to swing in with an eye-catching print still versatile enough to throw over any outfit.
$225
BUY NOWLacoste Men's Golf Cardigan
Organic cotton and wool join forces in this performance-ready sweater that’s designed to withstand a tough round of golf while looking understated and put together. Stark white trim along the buttons, collar, cuffs, and hem interrupt the otherwise classic navy design. And of course, the signature crocodile logo peers out from the chestfront.
$195
BUY NOWAlpaca Golf Cardigan "Retro Pro" Professional
Alpaca’s been gracing the fairways since the 1950s, known for its naturally temperature-regulating, odor-resisting, and moisture-wicking properties. This style is available in over 25 different colors, including sunflower yellow and juicy plum. And not for nothing, but golfers with wool allergies who still want a natural fiber will love this roomy, Raglan-sleeve cut.
$240
BUY NOWVarley Decker Off-Court Cardigan
This bright forest green is simply dreamy, as is the perky petal pink version of this trendily boxy, lightly oversized pullover. Dolman sleeves add a feminine flair to this sportive design that works just as well over a golf dress as it does jeans and a tank top.
$158
BUY NOWMalbon Kingston Cardigan
A punchy playing card motif raises the stakes of this lively upgrade to the retro golf cardigan. The intarsia weaving brings the “King of Clubs” (a pun for the course, we’re sure) to its full game-stopping sartorial glory.
$298
BUY NOWNike 24.7 ImpossiblySoft
Unlike almost every other cardigan gracing this list, this rendition features hidden snap button closures for a clean, streamlined silhouette that’s supremely easy to style and take on and off so you can move with the day’s weather and your game’s needs. This crisp white is machine washable, but there’s also a moss or camo green to choose from, in addition to a sharp black.
$125
BUY NOWStraight Down Gilmore Cardigan
A Merino blend gives this sporty, retro-inspired cardigan a naturally soft look and feel. The winning detail is the zesty yellow and eclectic lime trim bravely skating along the edges, adding a fast, tailored, restrained edge.
$196
BUY NOWRenwick Cricket Cardigan
A truly polished, throwback silhouette, this golfy sweater features hydrangea and navy accents as well as gently iridescent pearled button fastenings. Matching cuffs and pocket-lining gives this cardigan an elegant, effortless feel.
