Looking at the best golf headcovers on the market is a bit like being in a YouTube spiral. You start by clicking on a shot by Seve in the 1987 Ryder Cup, and before you know it, you’re watching Oh Oh Oh by the Golf Boys (Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, Ben Crane and Hunter Mahan, to save you from having to Google it).
Why? Because the choice is immense. You can go for a smart-looking option from your favourite equipment manufacturer. You can go for a sleek option from what is essentially a fashion designer. You can go for something that shows your allegiance to your football team or even your country. And you can go for something completely wacky that looks more like a soft toy from The Generation Game than anything to do with golf. And a hundred things in between.
In short, you have loads of choices when it comes to golf headcovers. So, to make your search easier, we’ve narrowed things down by picking out a few great options from the various categories. Who knew choosing a golf headcover could be so exhausting?!

RL’s iconic logo and signature embroidered Pony adorn this driver headcover, which has a plush lining. It looks the part, and if you’re a fan of Ralph Lauren polo shirts, this might well team up nicely with it.

Glenmuir Saltire Driver Headcover
£20.00

It has a premium quilted soft inner for protection and is made with reinforced seams to prevent overstretching from repeated use and wear and tear. It’s made with 100% premium mock leather and has contrasting white Glenmuir 1891 embroidery on the top.

If you want a Scandinavian vibe for your club protection duties, look no further than this one from J Lindeberg.
The Tour-grade synthetic leather is known for its durability, and the smooth but rugged fabric microfleece lining offers market-leading wear and colour resistance no matter how many rain and sleet storms you play in. Its black material contrasts with the fashionable JL Bridge logo embroidery—and bonus points, too, for being really easy to clean.
