I have tested golf apparel for many years now, when I sat down to work it out I think it is around the six year mark. As you can imagine this means I have been lucky enough to try out, and properly test, a lot of gear ranging from rain jackets to shorts, whilst also covering a lot of brands like adidas, Peter Millar, G/FORE and many more. But in 2025 I was fortunate enough to receive an email about testing Tiger Woods' Sun Day Red apparel and I jumped at the chance.
For those of you unaware, Sun Day Red is a collaborative brand between TaylorMade and Woods, with the 15-time Major winner spearheading the brand after his split with Nike towards the tail-end of 2023. It manufactures a range of soft goods, some truly stunning shoes and also a wide collection of apparel for both men and women.
Now after getting some hands-on time with the product, I can categorically say that Sun Day Red clothing is some of the highest quality garments I have ever felt and tried on, and one particular top has become my absolute favorite, the 3D Tour Cashmere Hoodie.
Why you may ask? Well when I took the hoodie out of its packaging it immediately became clear to me how high-quality it is. The 100% cashmere fabric construction was so soft and actually drew an audible gasp from my partner. She went so far as to ask if she could have the hoodie but no way was I going to agree to that.
The hoodie is part of the premium cashmere collection and it is made with a 3D Knitting process which basically eliminates seams and delivers key stretch where needed. Indeed in my testing the hoodie stretched beautifully and was incredibly comfortable too - lightweight, breathable, it gave a degree of warmth, and worked well with a polo shirt underneath and a vest or lightweight jacket over the top.
It doesn't feel bulky and it retains its shape nicely, and again I am not sure I have the vocabulary to explain just how soft the cashmere is here. It is just awesome.
As mentioned above there are 11 lovely colors to choose from. I tested the navy but have my eye on the Frost Grey/Pale Blue finishes, and speaking more generally on the aesthetic, it is smart and works very well off the golf course too. I have worn this into the office a number of times for example.
Now the elephant in the room here is the price, the hoodie is at the premium end of the spectrum but this is all relative. To some $375 is affordable, to others it isn't. But what cannot be ignored here is for that price you get an ultra-premium product that feels worth every penny in my opinion.
I will say if you want some more hoodie options at different price points, then check out our best golf hoodies buying guide where I have covered every base.
