One of the great (and potentially expensive) things about golf is there’s always more gear you can get to improve your game. If there’s even a chance that another product will add a yard to their drive or cut a digit off their handicap, chances are, avid golfers will try it out.
That also makes golfers prime candidates for custom giveaways.
Whether you’re looking for golf swag for gifting, themed golf promotional items for a trade show, or premium golf tournament perks for a fundraiser, we’ve teed up our favorite ideas to give you some inspiration.
Nike Dri-Fit Vertical Mesh Polo
If there’s one thing every golfer can use, it’s a quality dri-fit polo. Perfect for going from the 18th hole to the 19th for a refreshing drink, this classic Nike polo with moisture control technology looks as good as it feels. By adding your logo to one of the many available color options, this piece of custom golf apparel is the perfect golf swag option.
Eddie Bauer 1/2-Zip Performance Fleece
As anyone who’s ever golfed in the cold can attest, it’s hard to keep your form when your limbs aren’t warm. That’s where a performance fleece like this one from Eddie Bauer comes in. Offering plenty of flexibility with enough insulation for brisk spring days, this is high-demand golf swag that makes for an ideal corporate gift.
Yupoong 6 Panel Hat
Golfers can never have enough hats, and this embroidered hat may quickly become a favorite for your golf outing giftees. This flexible yet durable option from Yupoong comes in a staggering array of colors to match your company logo, making it an ideal company swag idea.
Golf Buddy
Every golfer needs a buddy—like this custom golf accessory. With a dozen tees and three markers, this handy keychain easily fits on any golf back to ensure no golfer goes without their essential supplies. Finished with your custom design, it’ll keep your brand top of mind when they tee off.
58" Vented Auto Open Folding Golf Umbrella
Most people don’t know they need a decent umbrella until they’re caught in a sudden downpour. With a windproof canopy, generous 58” construction, and five color options to support your custom design, this sports gear will prove to be as reliable as your brand’s products or services are.
3.5lb./doz. 5.25x22in Scrubber Golf Towel
No golf bag is complete without a trusty towel. Both lightweight and absorbent, this golf swag idea is practical, useful, and affordable. With an included grommet and aluminum carabiner clip, once it’s embroidered with your logo, this giveaway will become a staple in any golfer’s repertoire.
TriDri Women's Three-Quarter Performance Leggings
For those who need to round out their performance-wear wardrobe, a great pair of dri-fit leggings make for an incredibly useful branded gift. This unexpected promotional golf item will help wearers stay cool for a full round and is made from recycled materials, making it a sustainable option to boot.
Solid Retro Sunglasses
The only thing harder than hitting a tiny ball with a small club and making it go where you want it to go, is doing that with the sun in your eyes. A pair of throwback shades is a perfect addition to a golf tournament gift set, offering a distinct branding opportunity that’ll also come in handy for anyone tasked with driving into the sun.
CamelBak Podium® 3.0 Chill 21oz
Branded water bottles are always a great gift idea—and this sports bottle from CamelBak is the perfect golf outing gift. Its double-wall design helps keep water cool from the first hole to the 18th, while its light BPA-free construction makes it perfect for throwing into a golf bag without weighing it down.
Field & Co. Fireside Eco 12 Can Backpack Cooler
For those who like a more leisurely golfing experience, a backpack cooler bag makes for a unique golf swag idea. This Field & Co. option keeps a dozen cans cold for hours, while its padded straps make it comfortable to tote from hole to hole. It’s even made from recycled materials, making it more environmentally friendly than many other golf outing gifts.
Liberty Bags Insulated Beverage Holder
Coolers are great for keeping unopened drinks cool—but what about once they’re out in the sun? A branded insulated can cooler is the perfect solution. This golf swag bag idea offers a way to keep your company logo top of mind while the giftee keeps their beverage at peak coolness as they golf.
What Makes a Great Golf Swag Idea?
First and foremost, golf swag needs to be able to display your company logo—ideally with multiple color options to complement your design. Aside from that, it should be able to fill a specific need for golfers, which can be tricky since they likely already have plenty of their own gear.
It’s a good idea to look for small problems that traditional golf gear can’t solve. Most avid players will already have staples like bags, clubs, balls, and shoes, and even if those items can be branded, players are likely to have products in their repertoire they already love.
Remember, you probably can’t give serious golfers something they need and don’t already have. Instead, try to find golf promotional items that help golfers of all levels stay comfortable, keep hydrated, and have fun.
