7 Things Golfers Can't Live Without in 2025

Golfers have a lot of needs on the course, but just as many needs off the course. I guess you could say we’re just a needy bunch. 

The thing is, even when we’re not playing golf, we’re thinking about playing golf and planning our next round of golf. That’s why everything from equipment to help us shoot our lowest scores to apparel that we look and feel great in on or off the course is a must. 

Here are five products golfers simply cannot (or at least don’t want to) live without in 2025, and I’ll bet you wouldn’t have guessed most of them.

Why Golfers Need This: These affordable prescription sunglasses are made for athletes and active lifestyles.

Golfers are constantly out in the sun and the ability to see long distances is a non-negotiable on the course. 

For about the same cost as a box of premium golf balls – that’s if your insurance or FSA doesn’t cover it first – you can have prescription sunglasses made for active lifestyles. That means no shaking or wobbling when you swing.

Zunnies prescription sunglasses are incredibly lightweight and you can choose polarized or non-polarized lenses. Since polarized lenses can actually hinder depth perception (not a great thing on the golf course), I always prefer non-polarized lenses for golf.

When you think about it – and check out the styles – these prescription sunglasses are really a no-brainer for those of us with less-than-perfect vision.

Why Golfers Need This: For results that will show on and off the course, this science-based fitness and nutrition app is way better for strength and weight loss than going it alone.

Fitness, strength, and nutrition are so interconnected that it just makes sense there would be an app that addresses all three simultaneously. Caliber, the science-based training app that delivers 1-to-1 coaching and a personalized plan that incorporates all three, is one of the best solutions for getting your overall fitness up to par. 

For golfers looking to play their best, improving fitness is a great way to do it. Improved core strength is one of the quickest ways to eliminate back pain from golf, and improving lower and upper body strength can lead to distance gains. Meanwhile, over an 18-hole round of golf, losing weight and improving cardio fitness is the difference between limping to the finish and finishing strong.

Caliber users enjoy 34% faster progress than people who go it alone, and the average Caliber member reaches at least a 20% body composition improvement in their first three months. That’s because, in addition to providing a plan for success, Caliber’s coaches, combined with the ability to track progress in the app, keep you motivated and accountable, resulting in greater consistency throughout the program.

Those are some serious gains.

Why Golfers Need This: Nobody wants to change their pants before and after a round of golf. Jack Archer Jetsetter pants are perfect for on and off the golf course.

Every golfer who has played in an after-work league or just worn golf pants to the office has heard someone say “You look like you’re ready to play golf.”

Even if it’s true, it’s not exactly the best message to send.

These four-way stretch Jetsetter pants from Jack Archer perfect for the course, but they don’t look like you bought them from the pro shop. 

They work with pretty much any outfit, so you can easily wear them to the office without being called out, then straight to the course, and even to the bar for drinks afterwards.

All day comfort with versatile style, without looking like you’d rather be somewhere else. That’s a win-win.

Why Golfers Need This: Drinking PWR LIFT on the course provides the fuel and hydration needed to finish strong.

The last thing you want to do is become dehydrated on the golf course. 

Did you know there’s a drink that can keep you hydrated while providing protein, electrolytes and vitamins to your system? 

One bottle of PWR LIFT protein-infused water provides 10g whey protein, 650mg electrolytes, and 2,000mg BCAAs. That all adds up to extra fuel for your body, superior hydration, and essential nutrients to assist recovery.

That makes PWR LIFT a great on-course drink choice when you need the proper hydration to stay focused and peak energy to finish strong without feeling sore afterward.

Why Golfers Need This: Best product for trimming, grooming or shaving all types of hair from head to toe.

Manscaped has your unwanted body hair covered from head to toe. Whether it’s head shaver, beard and face shaver, or a groin and body hair trimmer you seek, Manscaped is the answer. 

With more than a dozen individual products designed for specific uses, each Manscaped tool is tailored to a particular part of your body. 

Take the Lawnmower 5.0 Ultra, for example. It’s waterproof and rechargeable (up to 60 minutes runtime per charge), and comes with two combs, allowing for anywhere from 1.4 mm to 12 mm length.

These trimmers make so much sense it really begs the question, why would you use anything else?

Why Golfers Need This: From topicals that relieve pain to gummies for dialing in focus, Kind Oasis has the CBD or THC product to get golfers through their next round.

Whatever the golfer wants their mind to do on the golf course, Kind Oasis has a topical or gummy that can assist. 

Is it improved focus you desire? Looking for some pain relief? Or how about a little something to help you relax, without feeling a head high? Or maybe a slightly altered state is just what the doctor ordered. 

Kind Oasis specializes in CBD, Delta-9 and Delta-8 gummies, and also offers CBD topicals, tinctures an capsules. The Milwaukee-based business offers gummies in assorted flavors and potencies to accommodate most needs and preferences.

Why Golfers Need This: LAB Golf is king of the zero-torque putter category, and their latest release, the Adam-Scott-insipred OZ.1 & OZ.1i, is arguably its best-looking yet.

How good are LAB putters? Good enough to be the top-selling putter at the top brand-agnostic club-fitting company in the U.S. two years in a row. And that was before LAB dropped its OZ.1 and OZ.1i putters, perhaps the best-looking LAB putters to date.

Inspired by Adam Scott, the half-moon-shaped LAB putter still boasts all the zero-torque, point-and-shoot benefits of any LAB putter. 

The shape is sure to appease many LAB holdouts, and the option to go with the stainless steel insert (OZ.1i) or the one-piece, all-aluminum version (OZ.1) to get your preferred feel and sound only adds to the demand of these LAB OZ.1 putters.
