For a company golf outing or charity scramble, give golfers a performance polo with a small left-chest logo and a hat or towel. Put sponsor logos on the sleeve or back. Most golf polos are polyester, which takes DTF well, but test one first for dye bleed. Order three to four weeks out.
Golf swag lives a long life when it's useful. A good polo gets worn to the next round, and every round is another look at your logo.
Shirts and polos
- Performance polos are the standard. Neutral colors (navy, black, white, heather gray) get worn the most.
- Quarter-zips work for fall and spring tournaments and feel like a premium gift.
- Tees suit casual scrambles and volunteer staff.
- Staff shirts in a bright color help golfers find volunteers on the course.
Swag golfers actually use
- Hats and visors
- Golf towels
- Ball markers and divot tools
- Tees and ball sleeves
- Koozies for the cart
- Tote or shoe bags
Skip anything with the event date on the front. Golfers wear polos with a clean logo; they don't wear "2026 Scramble" shirts to the club.
Sponsor logos
Charity tournaments often need sponsor logos on shirts. Keep the front clean and put sponsors on the back or sleeve. With DTF, every sponsor logo prints on the same gang sheet, so adding a sponsor doesn't add screen fees. Get permission and the right logo file from each sponsor, and run them through our free print-ready checker.
Logo sizes and placement
| Placement | Typical width |
|---|---|
| Left chest | About 3–4 in |
| Sleeve | About 2.5–3.5 in |
| Back yoke (below the collar) | About 6–10 in |
| Hat front | Keep it small and test the shape first |
More detail in our size guide.
Pressing performance polos
- Pre-press briefly to remove moisture.
- Keep the placket and buttons off the platen. A pressing pillow helps.
- Test one polo. Some dyed polyester can bleed dye into a print at high heat. See DTF on polyester.
- Our settings: 300°F, 10 seconds, high pressure, hot peel, 5-second post-press.
Timeline
- 4–6 weeks out: pick blanks, confirm sponsors, collect logos.
- 3–4 weeks out: collect sizes and order transfers.
- 1–2 weeks out: press, fold and bag.
Your logo and every sponsor on one sheet.
Build a gang sheetGolf outing questions
What do you give golfers at a tournament?
Popular gifts are performance polos, hats, golf towels, ball markers and tees. Shirts and hats get worn after the event, which keeps your logo seen.
Where should a logo go on a golf polo?
Most polos take a small logo on the left chest, about 3–4 in wide. Sponsor logos often go on the sleeve or back yoke.
Can you put DTF on golf polos?
Yes. Most golf polos are polyester performance fabric, which takes DTF well. Test one first, since some dyed polyester can bleed into the print at high heat.
How far ahead should I order tournament shirts?
Three to four weeks before the event is comfortable. It leaves time to collect sizes and confirm sponsor logos.
