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!
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
