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.
