Golf and Polo have three things in common: they both use a little white (usually) ball, they swing a stick with a head to smash the ball toward a goal, and they both have the easy to wear shirt. Golf polos for men started with the game of polo, but for a century or so, golf shirts have largely been the button-down style we know so well today.

The golf shirt of today has morphed into a category of apparel that men can wear every day due to their functionality, fit and comfortable price. The best golf shirts also are items that help men navigate through the sometimes confusing world of "business casual" and other work environments.
