Golf Gloves

Yes. While not mandatory, most golfers wear a glove on their lead hand to improve grip, prevent slipping, and reduce blisters. A well fitted glove provides consistency and confidence throughout the round.

A golf glove should fit snugly, like a second skin, with no excess material on the palm or fingers. Gloves that are too loose can slip, while overly tight gloves may tear more quickly.

Leather gloves (usually cabretta) offer superior feel and grip, making them popular with professionals. Synthetic gloves are often more durable, flexible, and ideal for all weather play. Many modern gloves use a hybrid of both materials.

Specialist rain gloves from brands like MacWet, FootJoy, and Callaway are designed to get grippier as they get wet, unlike leather gloves which can become slippery.

It depends on how often you play. A leather glove may last 10 to 15 rounds, while synthetic or all weather gloves can last longer. Rotating gloves and letting them dry properly helps extend their life.

Yes. Many synthetic and rain gloves can be machine washed on a gentle cycle and air dried. Leather gloves should be wiped with a damp cloth and stored flat. Avoid tumble drying, as heat can damage materials.

FootJoy is the leading name in golf gloves with ranges like StaSof and WeatherSof. Other top choices include Titleist, Callaway, Mizuno, and Ping.

Most golfers only wear one glove on their lead hand (left hand for right handed players, right hand for left handed players). Some wear gloves on both hands in cold or wet conditions for added grip and warmth.

Thermal golf gloves from Ping, FootJoy, and Under Armour keep your hands warm while maintaining feel. Winter mitts are worn between shots to retain heat and can be paired with a standard glove underneath.
