It keeps the design clean and gives the shirt a polished, understated look while leaving plenty of room for other design elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The design might include the tournament name, year and a small golf-related element. A flagstick, golf ball, crossed clubs or another simple motif can all work if they fit the event.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a company outing, the company logo can take the main position. For a charity tournament, the charity&#8217;s logo might be paired with the tournament name and date.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Put a Large Design on the Back<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The back gives us much more room to work with a larger design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could put the tournament name with the date and location underneath, surrounded by a golf-related illustration. You could feature the clubhouse, a golf cart, a flagstick, a golfer&#8217;s silhouette or a simple outline of the course.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A small logo on the front and a larger design on the back is also a practical layout when there are several sponsors to include.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Celebrate the Course<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the tournament takes place at the same course every year, you can use that location as part of the design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The course name can be the main feature, with the tournament name and year underneath. You could also include the signature hole, clubhouse or a simple illustration of the course.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Include a Fun Golf Phrase<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golf lingo offers plenty of material for fun phrases and puns, which is why you\u2019ll see so many golf shirts built around familiar terms from the game. A short phrase can work as the main design or pair nicely with a golf illustration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some ideas:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BlueCottonWarehouse193of237-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-8227\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BlueCottonWarehouse193of237-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BlueCottonWarehouse193of237-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BlueCottonWarehouse193of237-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BlueCottonWarehouse193of237-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BlueCottonWarehouse193of237-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BlueCottonWarehouse193of237-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BlueCottonWarehouse193of237-2048x1364.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/BlueCottonWarehouse193of237-850x566.jpg 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fore the Cause<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Teeing It Up for [Charity]<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fairways for a Good Cause<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Swinging for [Charity]<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Par-Tee Time<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Golf.

For a casual company outing, something like \u201cPar-Tee People\u201d or \u201cShank You Very Much\u201d can give the shirt more personality.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make the Year Part of the Design<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For an annual tournament, the year gives you an easy way to make each shirt distinct. Work it into the tournament logo, make it a prominent part of the artwork, or create a commemorative design for a milestone year.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can also include details like the tournament name, course and charity, along with wording like \u201cAnnual Golf Tournament\u201d or \u201c25th Annual.\u201d For a long-running event, something like \u201cSince 1998\u201d can be a nice addition.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This approach works especially well for charity tournaments where participants return year after year and the shirt becomes a souvenir of that particular event.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the Tournament&#8217;s Cause<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a charity tournament, the cause itself can inspire the design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use the charity&#8217;s colors, logo or recognizable imagery alongside the tournament name. A wildlife charity might use an animal illustration. A children&#8217;s organization could use a playful graphic. A community fundraiser might incorporate a recognizable local landmark.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This can give the shirt a stronger connection to the reason everyone is out on the course in the first place.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Create a Dedicated Staff Shirt<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The people running the tournament have a different job from the players, so give them a shirt that makes them easy to find.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A contrasting shirt color with \u201cTournament Staff\u201d or \u201cVolunteer\u201d printed on the front or back can help players spot the right person when they need directions, have a question about the contests or need help at registration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For a larger charity tournament, this can be especially useful. Staff shirts can also be more casual than the player polos if the course allows it.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give Sponsors a Clear Place<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sponsor logos can become part of the shirt without taking over the entire design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give the presenting sponsor a prominent location, then place supporting sponsors in a smaller group on the back or sleeve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, the front could feature the tournament and presenting sponsor, while the back lists the supporting sponsors underneath the main artwork.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This gives sponsors recognition while keeping the shirt readable.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design Around a Golf Contest<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many tournaments have side contests, and they can provide some fun design inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your event has a big Longest Drive or Closest to the Pin competition, you could incorporate those phrases into the shirt design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could also make a special shirt for contest winners, with \u201c2027 Longest Drive Champion\u201d or \u201cClosest to the Pin\u201d on the back.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use a Simple Golf Illustration<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don&#8217;t need a complicated graphic to make a tournament shirt feel unique.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A line drawing of a golf cart, flagstick, golf ball, golf clubs or golfer can sit behind or beside the tournament name. A simple illustration is also easier to reproduce with screen printing or embroidery than a highly detailed image with lots of tiny elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you need some help getting started, our <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/designer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Design Studio<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> includes a library of clip art with plenty of golf motifs you can use in your design. You can combine those elements with your tournament name, logo and other artwork to create something that feels specific to your event.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Choose a Polo or T-Shirt?<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Polos are the traditional choice for golfers, particularly when the tournament is held at a course with a dress code. A polo also works well for corporate outings, charity tournaments and events where the shirt doubles as a participant gift.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">T-shirts can work well for casual tournaments, volunteers, staff, spectators or people who aren&#8217;t playing. They also give us more room for the artwork. A large golf illustration, colorful charity graphic or tournament slogan can fill the front of a T-shirt in a way that&#8217;s harder to achieve with a small polo logo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The event itself can help guide the choice. A group of clients playing 18 holes at a private club may call for a traditional polo, while a casual charity event with golf, food and fundraising may leave more room for T-shirts. If you&#8217;re ordering shirts for the golfers themselves, check the course&#8217;s dress requirements before choosing a T-shirt.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some of Our Favorite Polos<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ST640-Front-Gold.webp\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-8314\" src=\"https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ST640-Front-Gold.webp\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"625\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ST640-Front-Gold.webp 871w, https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ST640-Front-Gold-240x300.webp 240w, https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ST640-Front-Gold-820x1024.webp 820w, https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ST640-Front-Gold-768x959.webp 768w, https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ST640-Front-Gold-300x375.webp 300w, https:\/\/images.bluecotton.com\/bluecotton-bluecotton-blog-production\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/ST640-Front-Gold-850x1062.webp 850w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you&#8217;re looking for a polo for your tournament, here are some of our best-selling polos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/brands\/gildan\/5-6-oz-dryblend-50-50-jersey-polo-8800\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gildan 8800 DryBlend 50\/50 Jersey Polo<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> has a classic fit and smooth jersey fabric that works well for screen printing.

A charity or company logo on the left chest gives the shirt a classic golf look, and embroidery can also work well for staff shirts or sponsor logos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bluecotton.com\/blog\/productivity\/screen-printing-ink-colors\/\">Screen printing<\/a> gives us more freedom when the design is larger. It&#8217;s a good option for a large graphic on the back, a full-front tournament illustration or a T-shirt with several colors and elements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your idea is a large graphic with the tournament name, year, golf illustration and a fun phrase, a printed T-shirt may be the simplest way to bring the whole thing together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If the idea is a clean little tournament crest on a polo, embroidery is a natural choice.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A Few Practical Golf Shirt Tips<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before placing the order, check the course&#8217;s dress code. Some golf clubs have specific rules around collars, sleeves and other parts of player attire.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It&#8217;s also a good idea to collect everyone&#8217;s sizes before ordering. A tournament group can include a pretty wide range of sizes, and guessing the breakdown can leave you short on popular sizes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If sponsors are involved, get their logos early. It&#8217;s much easier to build them into the design from the beginning than to squeeze five new logos onto an approved shirt at the last minute.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">And remember that the people wearing these shirts are going to spend several hours playing golf. Lightweight fabrics and comfortable fits can make a big difference, especially for summer tournaments.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have Fun With It<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A golf tournament gives us a lot to work with. There are the 18 holes, the scramble format, the clubhouse, the charity or company behind the event, the course itself and all the little traditions that develop around an annual tournament.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We can keep the shirt simple with a small embroidered logo, build a large back graphic around the tournament name, or turn a good golf joke into the entire design.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Start with the kind of event you&#8217;re planning and the people who will be wearing the shirts. Once you know whether you&#8217;re going for classic, casual, funny or somewhere in between, the rest of the design usually starts to fall into place.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A golf tournament shirt can be as traditional or as fun as the event itself.
