12 up-and-coming golf brands to watch in 2023

Everyone has their favorite or go-to brand.

Whether it be an industry giant like Nike or FootJoy, or a smaller brand like Rhoback or SwingJuice, everyone has a brand that fits their personality.

With golf season ramping up, Golfweek has cultivated a list of apparel, accessory and other golf-centric brands to help you become your best golfing self.

Whether you’re looking for what’s next, or just want to try something that’s off the beaten path, we have something for you. From apparel to equipment to accessories and more, this list contains brands that are worth keeping an eye on as they continue to develop.

Long gone are the days of stiff collars and muted colors. These brands build upon the pillars of tradition, adding their own touch to the game we all love.

SwingJuice

Golf & Tacos T-Shirt (SwingJuice)

Why SwingJuice is on the rise: Headquartered in Pawtucket, Rhode Island, SwingJuice brings a laidback swagger to the game with fun colors and designs.

What we like: Let’s be real, tacos should be offered at the turn instead of hot dogs. Be sure to check out their other looks that combine pizza, hip-hop and more!

Player2

Drop Another Polo (Player2)

Why Player2 is on the rise: The name ‘Player2’ derives from the classic heckle after dropping another golf ball down after a poor shot and pulling off what you originally intended. Player2’s apparel and accessories, much like a mulligan, always perform great.

Recommended item: This polo matches up with other top brands when it comes to quality and performance. Hoping on the trend of step and repeat patterns, this shirt from Player2 adds a cool wrinkle to the look with its unique logo.

What we like: Our favorite collection from Devereaux is their Peachy collection. These premium headcovers add a pop of personality to whichever club you choose. Be sure to check out their entire Peachy collection which features apparel and more.

Waggle Golf

Waggle Fore Please Hat (PGA TOUR Superstore)

Why Waggle Golf is on the rise: Waggle is all about individuality. Its unique lines are designed for curious newbies, weekend warriors, warm-weather snowbirds and die-hard rain or shiners alike which makes it a fast-growing disruptor when it comes to apparel.

What we like: Although the Masters is officially in the rearview mirror, that doesn’t mean you can’t rep your favorite week of the year all year long. This hat from Waggle gives a nod to the iconic tournament and its announcement on the first tee for each and every player in the field.

Bad Birdie

Bad Birdie Augusta Polo (PGA TOUR Superstore)

Why Bad Birdie is on the rise: Coming seemingly from nowhere, Bad Birdie has quickly become a golf fashion icon. Its loud and colorful designs are uniquely theirs and its company persona is one that leads the way among up-and-coming golf companies.

What we like: A green polo doesn’t have quite the same ring as a green jacket, but this is as close as it gets. The deep green base on this polo is splattered with yellow, white and red floral accents to depict the beautiful botany that graces Augusta National. Check out the matching hat and other Masters-themed items here.

Asher Golf

Asher Deathgrip 2.0 golf glove (Amazon)

Why Asher Golf is on the rise: Asher was born in 2009 with a desire to provide the golf world with something it lacked: high-quality golf gloves with a little added flavor and style.

What we like: Built with Asher’s exclusive CoolTech performance technology, this glove features a perfect mix of breathability, performance, and comfort. The DeathGrip keeps you feeling and looking deadly.
