Golf is a sport synonymous with headwear. Whilst there is no rule that requires professional golfers to wear a hat of some kind, most, if not all, do.
The traditional flat cap was once a staple of professional golf, famously worn by legends such as Ben Hogan and Payne Stewart. Straw hats have also enjoyed a moment in the spotlight thanks to Greg Norman. Whilst baseball style hats are the predominate choice for the majority of golf professionals.
But there is also another option. Visors became hugely popular during the late 1990s and early 2000s, particularly in the women’s game.
Many golfers prefer a visor as they can feel cooler than a traditional cap in the hot summer months.

The Top 3
Most Jazzy
Glenmuir Ladies Lexi Visor
This is definitely one of the more fun visors I’ve worn. I had the black/cheetah version to try, which feels a bit bolder than I’d usually go for – but I really liked it. Paired with the matching skirt, it made the whole outfit feel really put together on the course (and slightly raised expectations of how well I should be playing!).
Fit-wise, it’s really comfortable. It sits lightly on your forehead without feeling tight and stays in place nicely throughout the round. The adjustable strap makes it easy to get the right fit without any fuss.
The peak is a great size too – enough to shield your eyes without feeling oversized. It does exactly what you need it to, while adding a bit of personality.
There are lots of colour options available, but if you fancy something a little different, this one definitely stands out.
PROS
- Comfortable, lightweight fit
- Fun, standout design
- Adjustable and secure
CONS
- Bolder style may not suit everyone, but they have plenty of plain options too
RRP: £30.00
Sizes: One size
Colours: Navy, Navy/White gingham, Light blue flowers, White, Navy/Raspberry Mosiac, Linen Mosiac and Linen/Black Cheetah

Best Fit
Abacus Bovey Visor
This Abacus Bovey striped visor is both trendy and functional! Perfect for those sunny days out on the course whilst not being too warm or restrictive like most caps can be, this visor is a great addition to your golfing accessories. The soft inner lining at the front of the visor allows for comfiness and absorbs moisture so you can enjoy your round and not worry about sweat!
Another plus for this striped visor, if I haven’t convinced you already, is that it has an elasticated strap at the back to secure and tighten instead of getting your hair caught in Velcro, this allows for a more comfortable fit around your head.
The light blue and white striped visor pairs well with other pieces in the Bovey collection but just as easily fits with a white or blue polo that you may already have.
PROS
- Elastic back
- Comfy to wear
CONS
- None
RRP: £30.45
Sizes: One size
Colours: Navy, sand and horizon blue

Best Design Features
Ping Arlia Ladies Golf Visor
I wore this for a recent round and honestly, I absolutely love it. I was sent the Infinity Blue to try, one of my favourite colours, so I knew I was off to a good start, but it’s the fit and design that really won me over.
The stretchy Ping band at the back makes it incredibly easy to wear. No fiddly Velcro, no adjusting mid-round, and importantly, it didn’t slip at all. The visor itself is a great size too, not overly wide like some styles at the moment, just enough coverage without feeling bulky.
A small but brilliant detail is the light grey underside. It’s much more forgiving with makeup and helps reduce glare from the sun, which makes a real difference over 18 holes.
The only thing missing for me is a magnetic ball marker, but that’s easily solved with a clip.
I will definitely be buying this in white for summer.
PROS
- Comfortable, secure fit (no slipping)
- Great visor size and flattering shape
- Thoughtful design details (grey underside)
CONS
- No magnetic ball marker
RRP: £25.00
Sizes: One size
Colours: White, Navy, Vibrant Bloom and Infinity Blue
