The 5 Best Gifts for Men Who Love Golf (Worth Every Penny)

Best for: precise yardages and course maps every round

The S62 is a full-color GPS golf watch that puts course maps, shot distances and swing data on his wrist, with no phone or separate rangefinder. It's preloaded with 41,000+ courses and shows an overhead map of every hole with distances to the front, middle and back of the green, to hazards and to any point he taps. Green View shows the pin position, and Swing Strength tracks tempo. Off the course, it's a full fitness watch.

• Full-color maps for 41,000+ courses with hazard distances at a glance
• Green View pin placement and touch-to-target yardages
• Built-in swing tempo tracking, no clip-on sensor

This is for the golfer still pulling out his phone for yardages.

Best for: the golfer who plays premium balls

The Pro V1 has been the Tour's ball of choice for over two decades, and three dozen is both practical and well received: enough for a month of rounds, in packaging that feels considered rather than a sleeve grabbed at the pro shop. It flies low and penetrating off the tee with exceptional short-game spin, giving real control on chips and pitches inside 100 yards.

• Urethane cover gives greenside spin and a soft feel
• Low, penetrating flight that holds up in the wind
• Three dozen is the right gift quantity, nicely packaged

This is the gift for the golfer who already knows exactly which ball he wants.

Best for: the golfer who takes his putting seriously

Few equipment brands carry the weight of Scotty Cameron, the putters a generation of Tour pros have won with, and the Newport 2 is the model most tied to that legacy. It's milled from 303 stainless steel with a feel he'll notice at impact, precise heel-toe weighting with adjustable sole weights, and clean sight lines for aiming.

• Milled stainless steel with a distinctive feel at impact
• Adjustable sole weights to suit his stroke
• Clean sight lines and a Pistolero Plus grip

This is for the golfer who has always wanted a Scotty Cameron in his bag.

Best for: the most accurate yardages, including in competition

The Pro X3 Plus is the most advanced rangefinder a golfer can legally use in competition. It's accurate to half a yard out to 450 yards, and its PinSeeker JOLT vibration confirms it's locked on the flag, not the trees behind. Slope adjusts for uphill and downhill shots and switches off with one button for tournament rounds. A magnetic cart mount is included.

• Half-yard accuracy to 450 yards, with a vibration when locked on the flag
• Slope on for casual rounds, off with one button for competition
• Magnetic cart mount included

This is for the golfer still second-guessing his yardages before every approach.

Best for: a dedicated golfer playing an old set of irons

A complete 4-iron through approach wedge set built around TaylorMade's carbon fiber cap back, designed to combine forged-blade feel with cavity-back forgiveness. A low, deep center of gravity helps off-center strikes, and the progressive design moves from penetrating long irons to precise short irons. For a man playing a set that's three or more years old, it noticeably tightens his ball striking.

• Carbon fiber cap back adds forgiveness without losing feel
• Progressive design from long-iron distance to short-iron precision
• Full 8-piece set replaces every iron in one gift

This is the gift for the golfer who's played the same irons for years.
