2023 Golf Gloves Buyer’s Guide

If you could lower your scores simply by changing an inexpensive piece of gear in your golf bag, would you do it?

The best golf gloves cost less than a dozen golf balls and finding the right fit can have a major impact on your game. We already know that wearing a golf glove offers some performance benefits but just wearing a glove isn’t enough. Like any item in your bag, it’s important to find a glove that helps, not hinders, your performance.

Is your golf glove hurting your game? Is it helping?

Whether you know the answer to that question or are unsure, we’re here to walk you through the process … “hand in hand,” so to speak.

A new golf glove could be just the thing your game has been craving. Here are the best golf gloves for 2023.

WINNER – PXG Players

Who is it for?

• The golfer who needs a glove that fits like a second skin
• Someone who values comfort over durability
• The golfer who wants great grip and excellent club feel

Other Notable Performers

• Callaway Tour Authentic: The Callaway Tour Authentic performed admirably across all categories and provided some of the best grip and comfort of any golf glove in the test.
• Red Rooster Cape: Red Rooster burst onto the scene last year and their gloves performed just as well this year. The Red Rooster Cape provided a great fit and feel and the lightweight construction was very comfortable.
• Mizuno Tour: Mizuno’s Tour glove was an all-around good performer. Its cabretta leather construction provided great grip and feel.
• Srixon Premium: The cabretta leather Srixon Premium golf glove also had an admirable showing with good scores in comfort, fit and feel.
• Red Rooster Range Rooster: If you want a golf glove that’s so light and comfortable you’ll forget you’re wearing it, the Range Rooster by Red Rooster is right in your wheelhouse. It was supremely comfortable and provided a good fit despite not being made from leather.

Golf Glove Features That Matter

Grip

Get a grip! A constant, stable connection with your golf club starts with your golf glove. Similar to the traction provided by spiked golf shoes, a good golf glove gives you complete control and confidence. A slip of the club in the backswing, transition or downswing can cause errant shots and shanks galore.

The best golf gloves of 2023 provide consistent grip that makes it easy to control the clubface. If you’re looking for the golf glove with the most grip, the FootJoy Contour FLX has you covered. Other admirable performers in the grip category include the Cuater Between the Lines and Callaway Tour Authentic golf gloves.

Best Value Golf Glove - Kirkland Signature Leather Golf Glove

For the 5th year in a row, the Kirkland Signature Leather Golf Glove takes the crown as the best value golf glove. At less than $30 for a pack of 4 (yes, 4 gloves for less than a box of golf balls), it's hard to find anything else that compares in the value space. A golf glove that feels, fits and grips this good shouldn't be this inexpensive!

Comfort

A comfortable golf glove is a luxury—nay, a necessity!—that your game deserves. You shouldn’t dread putting your glove on because it pinches here or there. Wouldn’t it feel nice to have a glove that lovingly wraps and supports your hand? To put it bluntly, would you rather have scratchy, cheap toilet paper or the softest stuff around?

Too far? Maybe. But the principle remains: Comfort should not be compromised.

You don’t know how good a comfortable glove feels until you’ve used it side by side with one that’s uncomfortable. Our head-to-head (hand to hand?) testing produced some clear winners in the comfort category.

If you value comfort, the PXG Players is the most comfortable golf glove. The buttery-soft cabretta construction makes it feel like you’re wearing nothing at all. The Red Rooster Range Rooster is the most comfortable glove not made from cabretta leather.

Fit

Fit is perhaps the most important criterion separating the best golf gloves from the rest. The right golf glove should fit like a second skin with just enough room around the joints and knuckles for total freedom of movement. A good golf glove moves with your hand rather than against it.

Any restriction of movement due to a fit that’s too tight or loss of feel due to a fit that’s too baggy could be costing you precious strokes. The golf gloves with the best fit are the PXG Players, Cuater Between the Lines and PING Tour.

Wear Your Heart on Your Glove

Golf gloves have been traditionally boring in color and style. But, thanks to brands like Asher, Cuater, Ghost and North Coast, golf gloves are starting to become statement pieces.

Between the snarky, subtle innuendos baked into the design of Cuater's gloves and the eye-popping colors of Asher and Ghost, there truly is a golf glove to match your personality.

Some of the best styles we saw are the Cuater Beach Bliss, North Coast High Flier, and Asher Snow.

More Golf Glove Tips

• Size can vary between manufactures. If possible, try on a variety of sizes until you find the right fit. What you wear in one brand may not fit the same in another.
• If durability is your main concern, look for a glove made from thicker material. While thin cabretta leather golf gloves provide the best feel and often the most comfortable fit, a thicker glove won’t wear as quickly.
• Tired of going out to buy a new golf glove every few months? Red Rooster’s subscription model will ensure you have a fresh one on the backburner.
• Worried about tearing up your hands? Bionic golf gloves feature strategically placed internal pads to keep your hands blister-free.
