Hats are the epitome of function and fashion when it comes to selecting an accessory for golf.

From tweed newsboy-style caps to the sporty Nike swoosh tied to the biggest golfer of the last three decades to the funky styles of today (including the return of the bucket hat!) you can make a statement with your hat of choice but also keep your scalp and face covered from the sun’s harsh rays.

As we enter the fall golf season across Canada perhaps the most important of hats are the ones that keeps you warm. Enter the Lifestyle reversible tuque from Titleist. It’s a perfect golf hat for those brisk mornings or late evenings as it boasts a performance mesh liner for enhanced warmth and comfort. Not only that, but this particular Titleist golf hat is also reversible.

The function of a golf hat in Canada is most certainly to help a golfer stay shaded from the sun – no matter the season – and help stay cool in the summer months.

The good news is that both the line of Callaway golf hats and Ping golf hats for Canada are the perfect combination of health benefits and performance.

The Callaway Tour Authentic Performance Pro headwear gives you the look of Jon Rahm (perhaps not the millions of dollars earned, however) with a cooling sweatband and adjustable Velcro closure. It’s a lightweight golf hat that’s super popular on Tour.

PING has released a fun line of golf hats for 2021 encouraging golfers to ‘Play Their Best’ (the tagline is featured on the front of the hats). It’s a great looking and high-performance golf hat that has an adjustable snapback closure and a moisture-wicking SensorCool headband.

In perhaps the most interesting of research and development back stories – the PUMA ‘P’ cap came to market after an executive suggested, nonchalantly, the idea of “just putting a ‘P’ on the front of one of PUMA’s golf hats.” Now the ‘P’ cap has quickly become an iconic staple for the brand – available for both men and women in a variety of colours and styles.

And while there are plenty of golf hats available as Canadians look towards the end of their seasons, perhaps the most fun of all from 2021 was part of the adidas golf hat line. A declaration, perhaps, or merely a call to action, one of adidas’ newest golf hats – made from Primegreen (a series of high-performing recycled materials) – right on the front is a fun badge proclaiming, ‘No More Bogeys.’

Whether you’re a fan of snapback golf hats, need something fitted, or eager to pick up a tuque to extend your season, adidas’ mantra is something all golf hat-wearers can agree on.
