There’s nothing quite like slipping on a brand new golf glove. The unboxing, the first wear, the new Velcro. The new glove doesn’t know all of the pain the last glove went through, it’s like starting anew.

A bit dramatic? Sure.

A new golf glove does have some positivity to it though, and it starts with making the right purchase. With so many options available in the golf glove market, which ones are the best? Here is our guide for finding the best glove for your shopping and playing needs.

It’s safe to say that more FootJoy golf gloves have been sold in the world than any other brand. So why would FJ be our pick as the Best Value golf glove? Well, because two of their WeatherSof gloves for $20 is a steal.

You can get a single WeatherSof glove for around $12, also a great value. The WeatherSof glove is tried and true with over 90 million sold. This glove is versatile, soft, durable, and definitely outplays its price.

Best Style: Palm Golf Co Aloha

Palm Golf Co is another company that has disrupted what once was a fairly simple golf glove market. The company aims to provide premium gloves that also have a ton of style.

Palm Golf Co has a bunch of great patterns to choose from including the Aloha glove which has a smooth black AAA Cabretta Leather base with a Hawaiian floral print on the fingers and around the wrist of the glove. The glove’s Velcro is topped by the company’s signature palm tree.

Best in Rain: Zero Restriction Golf Windstopper

If you get caught in the rain on the golf course you can get by as long as your grips and your glove stay dry.

Thankfully, Zero Restriction makes some of the best products to keep you dry on the golf course and the Windstopper gloves are the best you can find. The shell is made from Pittards Leather, so they are very flexible. The Windstopper membrane interlining keeps your hands on the club no matter if you’re caught in a mist or a derecho.

If you’re a fan of fall or winter golf you know it’s vitally important to keep your hands warm. A pair of winter gloves from your closet won’t get the job done, so you need a pair of gloves specifically engineered for golf like the StaSoft Winter gloves from FootJoy. These gloves combine a great feel with premium gripping without hindering your ability to hold the golf club. Warm hands, better swing, better scores.

Best Ladies Golf Glove: Under Armour UA CoolSwitch

Under Armour has an entire lineup of golf gloves under the CoolSwitch design. This glove, specifically designed for ladies, might be the best though.

These gloves actually pull heat away from your hands, making them cooler in hot conditions. The Premium Grip system gives a reliable and consistent feeling when making a swing. Made from a soft Cabretta Leather for premium comfort.
