The best of the best! We roundup the best gear that Ping has to offer for Spring Summer 2026
As yet another golf season gets under, Ping has unveiled its Spring/Summer 2026 apparel collection. It’s a range that quite simply has the lot and is designed to meet the demands of modern golfers both on and off the course.
You’ll be forgiven for recognising Ping for their golf clubs rather than their golf clothing. A bit like their gear, Ping’s apparel delivers plenty of performance as well as contemporary styling.
Their latest line-up reflects how golf fashion continues to evolve without losing sight of functionality.
From lightweight over-layers, built to tackle the unpredictable conditions this summer, to smart shorts, Ping’s new collection aims to deliver comfort across every round. But with so many options available, which pieces truly stand out?
Check out our complete guide to the best bits of both men’s and women’s Ping SS26 collection below
The PING Nicolo Men’s printed cap comes in 2 colours. Both combine a modern look and functionality with an understated foliage print on the front panel finished off with the PING eye logo.
The cap is adjustable with a hook and loop closure and has a moisture-wicking inner headband. All-in-all a stylish and functional cap that will have universal appeal.
PROS
Classy look
Modern technical materials
Compliments the rest of the Ping Spring/Summer range
As someone who prefers playing in shorts whenever possible I was happy to try the PING Ari stretch golf shorts. They design is a classic style and they come in a multitude of colours, so you should have no problem finding a pair to suit you.
The look is finished off with a couple of discrete PING logos. They are supremely comfortable due to the superb four-way stretch. This allows them to be neat looking but still give freedom of movement.

They have 2 front and 2 back pockets, one of which has gripper tape. The gripper elastic on the inner band ensures you shirt will stay tucked in.
PROS
Clean classy look
Comfortable
Stretch allows freedom of movement
CONS
On the upper end price wise
RRP: £65.00
Sizes: 30-44
Colours: Navy, Cornflower Blue, Pearl Grey, Clay, Stellar and Baltic Sea
The PING Burford is a full-zip wind-resistant vest. Its 3-dimensional quilted textured fabric gives it a lightweight warmth and breathability. Staying warm and still being able to swing freely is important and this vest has a lot of versatility.
It could be used as it gets chilly in the summer or as part of multi-layering in cold weather.
On, it feels great and has an element of stretch. In addition, it is water-resistant so would hopefully see you through the odd shower during a round.
Modern golf trousers are a godsend, and the PING Locke Slim Fit trousers are no exception. The slim design looks very classy, but the fantastic stretch allows unfettered movement. I should add that they are incredibly comfortable.
They have 2 front and 2 back pockets, one of which has gripper tape. The inside band, as expected, also has gripper tape. A discrete PING logo at the back finishes them off nicely. A great looking and performing golf trouser.
I absolutely love a midlayer. They are the most versatile pice of golf clothing. As a consequence, the PING Latham Half Zip Midlayer is right up my tree. It combines all the modern technology you would expect from this type of garment (lightweight, warm, stretchy) with a sleek modern look.
It is extremely comfortable and, with the stretch, provides unrestricted movement when swinging a club. I think these are great for wearing in the summer if it is cooler or as part of multi-layering in cold weather.
If you need a mid-layer (and everyone does) then check out the PING Latham from the SS26 range. There are multiple colours and sizes, so you should find one to your taste.
PROS
Light, warm and stretchy.
Good range of colours and sizes.
Great layering piece
CONS
None
RRP: £60.00
Sizes: S-XXXL
Colours: Black, Pearl grey, Navy, Rich Red, White, Green Bay and Inky Multi
A decent golf shirt is essential to keep you at the right temperature , let you swing freely and look good on the course. The PING Orlando men’s printed polo shirt will do all three.
Made from 96% recycled Polyester and 4% elastane it has all the properties you would expect from a modern shirt. It is stretchy to allow freedom of movement as well as breathability and crease-resistance.
The pique fabric has a slight texture to it and the linear foliage print adds interest without being garish. It felt very light and comfortable in use and is available in 4 colours.
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
I’ll be honest — I’d never usually pick a white jacket, but this one completely changed my mind. It looks incredibly fresh and smart on and feels much more wearable than you’d expect.
I wore it on a slightly chilly day and needed a midlayer underneath, but there’s plenty of room without it feeling bulky. It’s lightweight and super stretchy, so you get full freedom through the swing, and the windproof fabric gives just enough protection when the breeze picks up. Will also be perfect for summer over a t-shirt.
The fit is really flattering, with nice secure cuffs that stay put and don’t interfere with your game. The zip pockets are practical without adding bulk, and I like the subtle venting which keeps it feeling breathable as you move.
This is one of those pieces that will come into its own on cooler summer days — easy, stylish and genuinely functional.
PROS
Lightweight with great stretch and movement
Flattering fit with practical pockets
Ideal layering piece for changing conditions
CONS
White might not be everyone’s first choice but it’s also available in navy if you’re prone to getting things dirty!
I really loved this midlayer. I wasn’t sure how I’d feel about a hood on the course, but it actually works brilliantly – it sits neatly and doesn’t interfere with your swing at all.
It’s a nice lightweight layer, but surprisingly warm when you zip it up to the chin, making it ideal for those in-between days. The fabric has a soft, slightly textured feel with plenty of stretch, so it moves easily with you and never feels restrictive.
The fit is flattering and just the right length to keep your back warm, which I always appreciate when there’s a bit of a breeze. The pockets are a great addition too – practical without adding bulk.
It does have a slightly younger, sportier feel, but I felt completely comfortable wearing it (and I’m in my 40s!). I had it in Infinity Blue, which matched my visor perfectly, and it looked smart on the course.

PROS
Lightweight but surprisingly warm
Great fit and freedom of movement
Stylish, modern look with practical pockets
CONS
Slightly sportier style may not suit everyone
Comes up quite big – I could have gotten away with a 10 – so might need to size down
This is one of those easy pieces that you’ll reach for again and again. I wore a size 12 and the fit was spot on; flattering without being tight, and it tucked in neatly which always helps keep things looking smart on the course.
The fabric is soft, breathable and has a nice amount of stretch, so it feels really comfortable through the swing. The sleeves are perfect too; not too short or too tight on the arms.
I wore it on a slightly cooler day so had a layer underneath, but this will really come into its own in the summer when you don’t need a skin. The Azure Geo print I had was gorgeous and paired perfectly with the matching hoodie and visor, which made me feel really put together.
It feels like Ping have got this at the right price point at £60. There are some great colour options as well – Tropic Retreat and Fuschia Foliage are on my birthday list!
In summary, there is plenty of offer this summer from Ping. Whether you are looking for a whole new summer outfit or some bits that will do the whole season, no matter the weather, then this is the place to look.
As is fairly standard now in golf fashion, most of these pieces have great levels of versatility to them and can be worn away from the course as well as on it.
The challenge isn’t finding something that works, it’s narrowing down which pieces you want first.
A bit of a late bloomer to the game of golf, Max fell in love with the sport when he attended Saturday coaching sessions down at his local golf club after being inspired by friends and family members.
Max has remained a member of Eden Golf Club in Carlisle for a number of years now as he looks to get his handicap down into single figures. Most of his golfing career has been spent battling a permanent slice off the tee, which has led to some ugly rounds.
Having studied at the University of Sunderland, Max is starting out his dream career in sports journalism. During his time at university, he picked up valuable work experience at Reach PLC, BBC Radio Cumbria and GiveMeSport, whilst also getting work published in the Teesside Live. He also spent time working at a local weekly newspaper, Eskdale and Liddesdale Advertiser, as a general news reporter partially covering some local sport just north of the border in Langholm.
Max has just started his journey with the NCG working as the assistant equipment editor. He looks forwarded to reviewing the latest golf equipment, taking up an interest in reviews when buying his first golf club, a Cleveland RTX wedge.
With his bag not going under too many changes throughout the last few years, Max carries an M3 driver, Titleist GT3 Fairway Wood, M2 hybrid, a set of M2 irons, Callaway Jaws wedges and a TaylorMade Spider putter. And yes, Max is a bit of a self-proclaimed TaylorMade fan boy.
