What makes a great golf giveaway

The best golf tournament gift bag items share three things: golfers use them, they last, and your logo looks good on them. Anything that fails one of those tests tends to get left in the cart.

The classics (on our menu)

1. Logo golf balls

The most natural golf giveaway there is: players can use them that very day. We use Srixon Soft Feel balls with your full-color logo.

2. Custom golf hats

The most-worn gift in any bag. A structured cap with an embroidered logo gets worn long after the outing.

3. Custom golf tees

Small, cheap and used every single round. Print your logo or outing name on wood or plastic tees.

4. No-dirt golf towel

A waffle towel with a scrub brush built in and a loop that keeps it on the bag. Every golfer needs one, and it stays on the bag all season.

5. Custom tumbler

A 20oz or 30oz stainless tumbler is the gift that makes it home and onto the desk. Great for sponsors, since it gets seen every day.

6. Comfort Colors t-shirt

Perfect for casual outings and fundraisers, especially with a big back print listing your sponsors.

Small add-ons (ask us)

These aren't on our site, but we can source them with your logo:

7. Ball markers

A tiny, cheap way to add a logo to every bag, and golfers hang on to them.

8. Divot tools

Every golfer should carry one. A logo divot tool is used on every green.

9. Bag tags

Perfect for annual events. Some outings do a new tag every year that players collect.

10. Koozies

Cheap, fun and used at the turn. Great for casual outings and bachelor trips.

11. Scorecard holders

A nice touch for a more upscale event, especially member-guests.

Premium gifts and prizes (ask us)

12. Polos and quarter-zips

For corporate outings or a sponsor gift, a logo polo or quarter-zip feels like a real upgrade.

13. Sunglasses

Fun, useful on a sunny course, and great for summer events.

14. Golf umbrellas

A big logo umbrella is a classic VIP or sponsor gift, and it's a walking billboard every rainy day.

15. Coolers

A logo cooler makes a great raffle prize or a thank-you for your top sponsor.

Tips for sponsor logos

  • Give your top sponsor the best real estate, like the tumbler or the towel, and their logo is seen every day.
  • Don't cram every logo onto one item. Spread sponsors across different items instead.
  • Use the back of the t-shirt for a full sponsor list.
  • Lock sponsors before you order. Late sponsors are the most common reason gift bags get rushed.
Packing tip

Pack bags by player name or pairing ahead of time. Check-in goes faster, and nobody ends up with two towels and no hat.
