Why You Should Trust Me
I’m gear-obsessed. I’ve been reviewing golf equipment for Men’s Journal for nearly 10 years, regularly frequenting some of the top golf courses in the U.S. to test golf clubs, golf shoes, and golf tech. Like most, I’m still searching for my first hole-in-one, and these items are helping me on that quest.
Best Golf Gifts for Everyone on Your List

When in doubt, go for golf gifts that make an impact on performance. Does the player on your list need help with their long game? It might be time for a new driver. Cobra AeroJet Max uses perimeter weighting with bias toward the heel to help players hit the ball straighter off the tee. Sharper edges, a raised skirt, and symmetrical shaping all help golfers swing faster. And, as a bonus, the designers enhanced club head aerodynamics to yield three extra yards, on average. Golf is known as a game of inches, so even a few yards is a welcome advantage.

PXG Gen 6 Irons are some of the best we’ve played. Forged from carbon steel, the internal cavity is piped with the brand’s proprietary polymer XCOR2. To ratchet up distance, the irons deploy a face made from a sheet of HT1770 stainless steel that’s so thin it would warp after only a few shots without the polymer behind it. Each club head contains a milled power channel that mitigates less-than-perfect strikes. There’s a ton of technology baked into these irons to help golfers lower their scores, but to truly extract every ounce of the clubs’ performance, PXG pushes customers to come in for a fitting. Every player and every swing is different and there are incredible professionals waiting to help golfers of all stripes reach the next level.

Titleist Vokey SM9 Wedges now come in more than 25 loft, bounce, and grind combinations so players can dial in performance based on their game and typical conditions. Crafted with wedge designer and revered short game advisor Bob Vokey’s three keys to great wedge play, these maximize spin, provide added distance and trajectory control, and offer shot versatility. For added personalization, the brand also offers hand stamping and engraving with numerous options of paint fill colors to match personal style. If you’re seeking custom golf gifts, look no further.

Putters are a bit like wands in the Harry Potter universe. Sometimes the wand chooses the wizard. In the instance of Scotty Cameron, the classic blade-style putters have worked their magic for some of the best players of all time. While there’s no phoenix feather or unicorn hair inside, Super Select Newport 2 is carved from 303 stainless steel, and features an I-beam neck, adjustable tungsten sole weights, and a twice-milled solid face for better roll. In layman’s terms, your player can make their ball disappear in fewer strokes.

Every golfer needs a reload. Fill their bag with a dozen (or two) ProV1s. The 2023 version uses a firmer outer layer wrapped around a soft inner core for added distance. The new recipe also enhances performance with flatter ball flight and less spin off the tee. That should help your duffer find more fairways and spend less time combing the rough for the ball you gave them. This is an excellent option if you’re looking for affordable golf gifts.

If the player on your list doesn’t have a laser range finder hanging from their bag, they need one. Not only does it give golfers target distances, it also provides that info so quickly it picks up the pace of play. Bushnell Tour V6 Shift Laser Rangefinder uses math to adjust the distances for elevation changes and includes a switch to turn that calculus off during tournaments. It’s water-resistant in case it rains and offers players a 6x magnification viewfinder. Plus, it uses an incredibly strong magnet, so it won’t eject if their cart hits a massive bump.

Today’s professionals use data to harness strengths and target problem spots in their game. Why shouldn’t your golfer? Arccos Starter Bundle comprises the Arccos Link (GEN 2) wearable shot tracker, as well as 14 Arccos Smart Sensors (GEN 3+), which sync with the award-winning Arccos Caddie app. The sensors screw into the top of each club grip to track every shot during rounds. The numbers are then distilled into shots-gained metrics that allow your golfer to better understand the state of their game. Arccos also offers a digital caddie subscription that gives advice during the round using the player’s history—plus every shot anyone has ever made using the app—to chart the best path to success. As far as high-tech golf gifts go, this is your best bet.

There’s nothing worse than a scorching-hot day rendering on-course beverages lukewarm after two holes. A collaboration with MiiR, Clinch Birdie Brew Buddy keeps beverages cold, adult or otherwise (no judgement), with double-wall vacuum insulation. Simply untwist the rubber gasket, drop in any 12-oz can, then screw the gasket back on. A powder-coat finish makes it easy to grip and keeps their glove from getting wet. This is also a golf gift to feel good about giving: Every MiiR product sold helps fund nonprofit organizations that empower communities and invest in the health of the planet.

Some rounds golfers like to walk and carry. For others, a push cart might be in order. And every once in a while, players who prefer to hoof it elect to ride. No matter how they get around the course, players need a bag that works in every situation. Constructed in fabric made from recycled plastic, Jones Trouper R Golf Bag offers players a five-way club divider; an easy-to-deploy stand; long, padded straps; and numerous storage pockets, including an insulated cooler large enough for four 16-oz cans.
