Types
Golf gloves are available in sizes for men, women and juniors, in both right-handed and left-handed.
Men's Sizes
Sizes for men are regular and cadet in small, medium, medium-large, large, extra-large and double-extra large. Cadet sizes have shorter fingers and a wider palm.
Women's Sizes
Most glove manufacturers offer women's sizes in small, medium and large, although FootJoy also has women's gloves in medium-large and extra-large.
Junior Sizes
Junior sizing varies from one manufacturer to another. FootJoy, the leading golf glove company, offers small, medium, medium-large and large, while U.S. Kids Golf offers sizes small, medium, large and extra-large.
Warning
Try before you buy. While adult sizing is similar, it can vary among manufacturers, so if you want your golf glove to "fit like a glove," try it on first.
Fit Tip
The fit should be taut across the palm and the back of your hand with no slack or bunching. To adjust, smooth the glove with your other hand. The glove should feel like a "second skin."
