I am obsessed with golf. I am also addicted to golf equipment and apparel. I also love shopping for friends and loved ones (and myself), so I figured, why not combine those passions and round up the best golf gifts for any time of year?

Over the years, I've tested hundreds of golf products. I've played with the best game-tracking tool, Arccos, and I've tried some cool training aids. I've used custom golf bags and high-end launch monitors.

I've seen it all and tried most of it (and yet, I'm still not very good at golf, which is a testament to two things: golf is hard and equipment doesn't automatically make someone good).

I've created the ultimate list of gifts for the golf lover in your life, including options for every budget. I could have included way more products, but I kept it to a manageable list of things I actually use (or would happily receive as a gift) so you can be confident you're getting something they'll like.

I didn't include highly preference-based products, especially for experienced golfers.

For example, you won't find golf balls on the list, as serious golfers typically have one ball they play, and unless you know which one it is, balls are almost guaranteed to be returned. The same goes for clubs — many golfers get fitted for the right clubs, so buying them a random 5-wood won't do the job.

Instead, we're focused on useful items golfers might not have that aren't custom or tied to specific preferences.

Does that mean you can't buy balls or clubs if you know what to get? Of course not. If you know your favorite golfer plays Titleist Pro V1 or Vice Pro (my golf ball of choice), for example, then by all means grab them a dozen balls and call it a day!

I love golf apparel. Ask anyone who knows me, and they'll tell you that I wear golf clothes almost exclusively. But if there's one thing I hate about golf apparel, it's the high price of some brands. I say this as someone who often wears Greyson, Malbon, Holderness & Borne and all the other premium brands.

But I also wear lots of affordable polos to round out my collection. There's a whole world of cheap golf polos out there that will set you back less than $40. And here's the dirty little secret: they're comparable to the far more expensive brands in terms of quality. Sure, they may not be made with the exact same materials, but they're close, and for less than half the price, you can't go wrong.

So here are 5 golf brands that make polos for $40 or less that I think you should keep on your radar. Trust me, there's still room in your closet for ultra-expensive polos, but these affordable options will help you round it out while keeping your bank account intact.

The polos

Uniqlo

Uniqlo isn't a brand that's as synonymous with golf as some, but what it is known for is making high-quality clothes that don't cost too much. It's also known for simple designs that look stylish without being too in your face. Its limited selection of golf polos meets that criteria perfectly.

Quince

Quince isn't necessarily associated with golf, but it should be, because its golf apparel is actually quite solid. In fact, I actually wore a pair of Quince pants today (though I wasn't golfing; I just like the pants so much that I wore them anyway). The brand's polos are well-made and comfortable without costing a lot.

Walter Hagen

Okay, hear me out on this one. Walter Hagen is the Dick's Sporting Goods and Golf Galaxy house brand, and the polos typically retail for around $70. So what's it doing here? Well, because it's the house brand, you can almost always find their shirts on sale at a massive discount.

Golf is an expensive sport. You could easily spend thousands of dollars on clubs, a pair of the best golf shoes and don't even get me started on the price of tee times. It's maddening, but we golfers keep coming back for more. Gluttons for wallet punishment, are we?

But if you own a 3D printer (I used the Bambu Lab A1 Combo to print these products), there are some golf-related accessories you can print that are actually useful. I tried tons of different 3D prints for golf, and there are three in particular that stand out as being useful, especially for practicing in the simulator or on the range.

And best of all, they're readily available without any custom 3D design knowledge required, so even if you're a complete beginner to the world of 3D printing, you can send these designs to your printer and take part in the fun.

Now, I'm not saying there are huge cost savings with these, since a 3D printer costs more than you'd spend on these particular accessories. But if you 3D print a bunch of other stuff and add these to the rotation, you will take a little weight off your wallet.

Plus, there's the satisfaction of knowing you made something for yourself that you'll actually use.

Golf Ball Dispenser Pro

For me, the Golf Ball Dispenser Pro is the ultimate 3D-printed golf accessory. It gives you much of the same functionality as driving ranges with auto-tee capabilities, but at home (or at a cheaper range that doesn't offer it). While it's a slightly more complicated print, it does print everything you need to use the dispenser (except a golf ball, which is used as a weight).

I highly recommend printing the funnel so it can hold a few extra balls, since it means you don't have to fill it as often and you can keep your practice flowing without stopping (there's an even larger ball garage that has come out since I printed mine, but I haven't tried it, so I can't speak to how well it works). Between the funnel and the actual dispenser, you can step up your practice game in a big way without spending much money.

Weighted Tee Base for Golf Simulator

When you're practicing in the simulator or range, your tees fly all over the place. That's where this Weighted Tee Base for Golf Simulator comes in. Products like the K2 Golf tee holder do a similar job, but they're pricey. If you own a 3D printer, some sand (or something heavy you can fit inside it) and a rubber-band tether, you can print this weighted tee base and save a lot of cash.

I definitely enjoy not having to chase my simulator tees all around the room with every tee shot. When practicing driver, this lets you get more shots off in less time, which will help you improve faster. After all, good practice is all about efficiency, and this simple 3D print gives you that.

Golf Tee Elevator

Maybe I'm just being weird, but I'm very particular about the height of my golf tee. At the same time, I'm terrible about using the same type of tee all the time. I usually use whatever I pull out of my bag, which makes lining up the exact height a pain.

When I saw the Golf Tee Elevator on MakerWorld, I found the solution. No matter what kind of tee I grab (or find on the ground near the tee box), I can slot it into this and set it in the ground at the perfect height.

Does it really make a difference in the quality of my tee shots? Probably not, but the consistency gives me one less thing to think about, and any distraction you can get rid of on the course is a good thing.

Golf and 3D printing, together at last

MakerWorld has tons of other 3D-printed golf accessories, such as tees, a grip training aid, alignment stick holders, and more. However, the three listed here are the ones that have really been game-changers for me personally. But don't be afraid to expand out and try other fun golf prints. You never know what's best for you until you try.

And what do you have to lose besides some filament and a couple of hours of print time?

• Golf VX's new simulator is next level — so I compared it side-by-side with a real course
• I replaced my TV with a 4K projector — and it was the best thing for my golf swing
• 'I noticed how much farther and straighter it was flying': PGA Tour pro Ben Griffin on playing a cheaper golf ball at The Masters

The world of golf simulators moves forward quickly. Just when you think Golf VX has advanced simulation to a point that's as good as it gets, the company drops its new Quantum tech and blows everything else I've ever tried out of the water.

I went to the company's flagship location in Arlington Heights, IL (just outside of Chicago) and played a popular semi-private course called The Glen Club. Then, we went to the course and played the real thing to see how well the simulator holds up compared with the course.

What better way to test a virtual experience than by comparing it to the place it's designed to emulate?

Golf VX's new Quantum sim tech

I was at Golf VX's flagship location to check out its latest and greatest simulator technology, and I have to say, it is a noticeable improvement over the company's T2 sim I played in the past.

For example, the 15-axis swing plate allows the ground to shift to create the most realistic lies I've ever had the chance to play in a simulator. In real golf, you rarely hit off a completely flat lie (unless you're on the tee box), so being able to practice shots with the ball above and below your feet is critical to improving your game.

Another improvement related to the hitting area is the Q-Mat, which uses a ceiling-mounted projector to display data about your swing path, distance and other key information right on the floor, keeping you focused on your swing without looking around to see if you were outside-to-inside or inside-to-outside on your most recent shot. This can help you fix that slice or hook, which are issues that plague many golfers (hello, my name is Dave and I'm a slicer).

I think the most impressive aspect of Golf VX's tech, compared to other commercial and home launch monitors, is how quickly you see your ball fly on the projector. There's a 15ms delay between you making contact with the ball and the ball flying on the screen. That's fast enough that by the time I finished my follow-through, the ball was in the air. This helps to fix the disconnect between hitting the ball into a screen and playing on the course.

Real vs. Simulator

I'm not going to sit here and pretend you can't tell the difference between the real-world course and the Golf VX rendered version. Obviously, the real version of the course is, well, real.

But Golf VX did an incredible job rendering the course with the key details in place, so you can practice before playing and get a sense of where the hazards will be. This is true for all 380 courses available in the software, though we'll focus on The Glen specifically.

One hole that stood out was number 3, which featured water to the left of the tee box that you can clearly see in both real and simulator photos. The tree-line in the distance also matches up well, as do the bunker locations.

When I stepped back and took it all in, I could definitely remember what the simulated version of the course looked and felt like while standing on the real tee box.

For hole 12, I pulled out the Meta glasses to record a first-person version of the hole in the real world and on the sim. Since I'm not the most skilled golfer, my path to finish the hole was very different between the two, with me scoring a par on the simulated hole and a six in real life, but the idea stands: the hole plays almost exactly the same.

After going back and watching both holes to edit together a TikTok video, I was thoroughly impressed with the amount of care that went into rendering the courses in Golf VX.

Golf VX Quantum availability

Golf VX's Quantum simulators are available now, but they're prohibitively expensive for most home users, with systems starting at around $50,000 and going up to $100,000 for a full room buildout. If money is no object and you want the best-of-the-best in golf sim tech, though, you should 100% have Golf VX Quantum on your radar, as it's the best golf sim hardware and software I've ever used.

Sadly, since the technology is so new to the U.S., it's not available at many Golf VX locations yet, but the company plans to expand with more franchises, so even if you're nowhere near Chicago, you can still play Quantum in the future.

While it's easy to pretend summer weather will stick around, those of us in cooler climates have fall/autumn staring us in the face, ready to make playing golf much less enjoyable without the right clothing.

Thankfully, almost every major golf apparel brand offers quality layering options that help you stay warm on the course without restricting your swing. Best of all, options fit every budget.

Whether you live in an area where you just need a simple long-sleeve polo, or you need that plus a quarter-zip and jacket, I've found some of the best golf layering options on the internet to help you prepare for fall golf.

Under $50 layers

When it comes to affordable golf apparel, few brands match Quince's quality-to-price ratio. Even the brand's most expensive golf layering pieces at full price cost less than most other options on sale. It's definitely worth a look if you want to get out in the fall without freezing.

Under $150 layers

Walter Hagen is Dick's Sporting Goods' house brand, and as such, it doesn't get the praise it deserves for its quality. It sits comfortably in the midrange, making it a great option for golfers who want to go premium without spending hundreds of dollars.

Under $300 layers

If you're not worried about how much your golf gear costs and you just want the best of the best, you need to have Turtleson on your radar. The quality is top-notch, up there with premium brands like FootJoy, Rhoback, Nike and others. I have all of these products in my closet, and while I'm dreading lower temps, I am looking forward to wearing these stylish layering pieces.

Sam Burns is in pole position to win The Open 2026 after producing a third-round 65 to move to 10-under. The American has a two-shot lead over South Korea's Si Woo Kim and Australia's Ryan Fox, who took advantage of calm conditions early in the day to post an eight-under 62.

Lucas Herbert posted a one-over 71 and shares fourth with Ryan Gerard on 7-under, while Bryson DeChambeau are in a group one shot further back. England's hopes are led by Tommy Fleetwood who bogeyed two of his last four holes to fall five strokes back.

Over the last few seasons, it has been Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy who have headed into every major as the pre-tournament favorites. However, this year the world’s top two both arrive in Southport with some concerns over the shape of their game.

Defending champion Scheffler missed his first cut in 78 tournaments at the Scottish Open last week, while McIlroy struggled in the third round and could be heard describing himself as 'so bad at golf' despite a final round of 64 that saw him finish tied for fifth.

Should they not be at their best, then there are a host of contenders who will hope to take advantage. South Korea’s Tom Kim was back to his very best as he claimed victory at the Scottish Open; American Chris Gotterup arrives having won three PGA Tour titles this year; and Wyndham Clark tied fourth last year and has since won the U.S. Open.

Brian Harman is also in stellar form and previously won The Open when it was last held on Merseyside in 2023. Then there’s hometown hero Tommy Fleetwood who has finished no worse than 14th in his last five tournaments, while fellow Englishman Matt Fitzpatrick has won three times on the PGA Tour this year and finished tied third at The Renaissance Club last weekend.

Below is a complete guide on where to watch 2026 The Open live streams, together with U.S. broadcast schedules and international TV channels.

Scottie Scheffler and Viktor Hovland teed off together on Saturday and Sunday — and they'll do it again on Monday. The world No.1 and the Norwegian couldn't be separated after four rounds, so the Travelers Championship has come down to straight shootout, with both men set to play the par-4 18th until a winner can be declared. They're set to tee off at 9 a.m. ET / 2 p.m. BST.

You can watch Travelers Championship 2026 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

Hovland had held a one-stroke lead going into Round 4, but relinquished it almost immediately. An 83-minute weather delay, however, allowed him to regroup, and after coming from behind he came within a whisker of nicking it on the 18th.

Hovland birdied the 18th on Thursday and Saturday, making par on Friday and Sunday. Scheffler, meanwhile, bogeyed it on Saturday, and made par on Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Scheffler, however, won the 2024 edition of the tournament in a playoff as part of a run of four straight top-six finishes at TPC River Highlands.

With Hovland winless since the Valspar Championship in March last year, and Scheffler yet to build on his American Express triumph right at the start of the current campaign, this means a lot to both men, perhaps more than they'd really like to admit.

Eight of the world's top 10 golfers, including Cameron Young and newly-crowned two-time U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark, made the short trip to TPC River Highlands for the Travelers Championship, the eighth and final Signature Event of the season.

It isn't just the proximity between Long Island and Cromwell that tempted them in. The 2026 Travelers Championship is worth $20 million — $3.6 million of which is earmarked for the winner.

Below is a complete guide on where to watch 2026 Travelers Championship live streams, together with Round 4 tee times, U.S. broadcast schedules and international TV channels.

Golf is expensive. It's one of the least wallet-friendly hobbies I've ever done. And I don't regret a single dollar spent, as I truly love the game.

But golf being expensive doesn't mean you need to just accept the high prices of clubs, balls and other golf gadgets. With Prime Day upon us, this is the perfect time to stock up on the golf goodies you need at lower prices.

Sure, your next tee time will still put a hurting on your credit card, but at least you'll know you saved some money on the balls, clubs and other stuff you need to make the most of your time on the course.

Golf Deals I'd Avoid

There are a lot of deals out there that look good on the surface but aren't worth your hard-earned cash. Namely, I'd avoid the random brand names you've never heard of with prices that seem too good to be true. Can you sometimes get lucky with these products and find a diamond in the rough? Of course. But all too often, I hear stories about random, cheap golf bags falling apart quickly and costing more in the long run.

Another type of deal I'd avoid is any refurbished golf balls. All too often, these balls, which claim to be ProV1 or TP5 models, are cheap balls with a new coat of paint. Often, after a few swings with them, you'll start to see the paint come off and realize it was a Top-Flite masquerading as a better ball, leaving you feeling ripped off.

And no matter how cheap they are, don't buy iron covers. No one needs iron covers; they look goofy, and aside from blocking the noise of your irons clanking together, they really don't do anything useful.

Wyndham Clark is now the overwhelming favorite to claim his second U.S. Open title after extending his lead from four to six shots at the end of the third round.

The American had led since the opening round and delivered another masterful performance on Saturday to sign for a level-par 70. His nearest challengers at Shinnecock Hills are Scottie Scheffler, Sahith Theegala, Tom Kim and Sam Stevens, all of which are on one under.

You can watch U.S. Open 2026 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

One year ago, Spaun claimed his first major with a score of just one-under as the best golfers on the planet struggled to deal with the thick rough at Oakmont Country Club. This year could be equally challenging as the last time the U.S. Open was played at Shinnecock Hills, Brooks Koepka claimed victory with a score of one-over par.

The 2018 champion will be hoping for a repeat performance but there are question marks over his fitness after he withdrew from the Canadian Open with a hand injury. Tommy Fleetwood was the runner-up eight years ago and he heads into this year’s tournament looking to finally win his maiden major.

The Englishman is in good form but will expect fierce competition, especially from countryman Matt Fitzpatrick who has three PGA Tour wins to his name this year, and finished second at last week’s Canadian Open. England’s Aaron Rai will also arrive full of confidence after his memorable victory at the PGA Championship last month.

Unsurprisingly, though, it is Scheffler who will have the favorite tag in New York. The 29-year-old has been the picture of consistency on the PGA Tour but has struggled in the opening round of majors this year, something he will be desperate to address.

Other contenders include two-time reigning Masters champion Rory McIlroy, 2021 U.S. Open champion John Rahm and Xander Schauffele, who had top-10 finishes at both the Masters and the PGA Championship this year.

Below is a complete guide on where to watch 2026 U.S. Open live streams, together with U.S. broadcast schedules and international TV channels.

Golf is an expensive hobby. Between the high cost of tee times, pricey equipment and premium apparel, it doesn't take much to break the bank. But Father's Day is actually one of the best times of the year to get high-end golf gear at a discount. The big golf brands know that kids struggling to come up with gift ideas can turn to golf to make their dads happy, so they offer products at lower prices.

Websites like Golf Galaxy and PGA Tour Superstore are chock full of great deals. But those aren't the deals I'm going to focus on today. Instead, I'm going to look at the smaller, premium brands and what they have to offer for Father's Day golf deals. I'm looking at the top-of-the-line stuff from brands like Bobby Jones, Arccos, Bruce Bolt and more. If your dad likes the finer things for his golf game, these high-end brands are certain to pique his interest. (For more deals and personal recommendations, check out our early Prime Day deals and the Tom's Guide Savings Squad).

Best Father's Day golf deals

The USGA is making some big moves for its GHIN app in 2026, so I recently paid golf's governing body a visit at the absolutely stunning Winged Foot Golf Club to try out the new features, and I was absolutely blown away (by the course and the app).

To me, the coolest change is the new Rules AI feature, which is essentially like ChatGPT for golf rules. But there's also a whole new layout coming to the app, along with a boatload of new features designed to make keeping score and entering your post-round results more streamlined.

Do the best golf apps like Arccos, 18Birdies, and GolfShot need to be worried about the GHIN app replacing them? Time will tell, but the USGA is moving in the right direction towards making its app more useful than just a way to input your scores for your handicap.

Rules AI is exactly what you want it to be

When I arrived at Winged Foot, I had already tried the beta of GHIN's new layout and was impressed, but at the end of the day, it took its relatively barebones scoring app and brought it up to par with competitors like 18 Birdies, The Grint and the other big players in the space. And getting users who already pay for a subscription to those apps to switch will be an uphill climb, no matter how much the USGA shines up its interface.

“Our goal has always been to ensure the Rules are accessible and that golfers can find the information they need to play the game fairly, enjoyably and with confidence,” said USGA CEO Mike Whan.

“By combining our expansive historical data with modern AI technology, we are providing a bridge between tradition and innovation. Rules AI is designed to continue making the Rules of Golf easier to navigate and meet golfers where they are—on the course and on their mobile devices.”

But then they told me about Rules AI, and my entire perception of the situation changed. You mean to tell me that not only is the arbiter of golf rules building a more robust scorekeeping app, but the USGA is also making an AI you can ask rules questions to while on the course? That should put the other apps on notice.

Maybe I'm just an overly excited golfer and tech enthusiast who gets excited about something new.

That's what I thought before I tried it. Once I actually asked it a rules question and received a perfect response that explained the rule and how to deal with the rule, I was truly sold.

I asked what if my ball lands on "Frankenstein's fat foot" as an ode to Shooter McGavin in Happy Gilmore, but it didn't like that question, saying it will only answer questions about golf. So I asked without the Happy reference and got a quick, rules-accurate answer.

The full answer is in the screenshot above, but the summary is that you can move the ball and where to move it depends on the situation.

Which means the rule in "Happy Gilmore" is inaccurate. But it's also a movie, so I suppose it doesn't need to follow the USGA rules to the letter.

App redesign

As mentioned, the actual reason we went to Winged Foot was to see the redesigned GHIN app, which is expected to be made available to the public in late summer of 2026.

It's a lot more streamlined than the original app, with heat maps showing green slopes and improved distances to bunkers and other hazards on the course.

These features exist in other apps, but what makes their coming to GHIN exciting is that in 2025, 2.91 million people posted a score in GHIN. That means they're already using the GHIN app to enter scores, so it seems logical that golfers could condense everything into a single app that does it all. And now that the GHIN app does it well, that could actually work.

Will it convince me to leave Arccos? Highly unlikely. After spending a round with it at Winged Foot, I like what it brings to the table, but for me, nothing will replace the insights and data Arccos offers with minimal effort on my part. Sure, GHIN lets you input how many putts you made and whether you hit the green in regulation or the fairway, but Arccos does that automatically.

Still, if you're on the fence about which golf app to use and you use GHIN for handicap data, it might be worth switching to it for all your golf needs once the update is released.

And if nothing else, you'll want to use the Rules AI feature if you plan to play any sort of competitive golf where rule questions may emerge.

• Of all the parts of my $9,500 golf simulator, this $280 hitting mat was the key to improving my game
• I replaced my TV with a 4K projector — and it was the best thing for my golf swing

I attended the PGA Championship at the Aronimink Golf Club in Newtown Square, Pennsylvania. As an avid golf fan, attending my first in-person event, and having it be a major should have been exciting enough.

But as a tech nerd, I was almost as excited to see what the PGA Championship had to offer in terms of the in-person experience.

Thanks to a partnership with T-Mobile, the PGA Championship app makes attending a live golf event much more streamlined (at least based on what I've been told from others who've attended many).

Tracking players on the map so you always know who's in front of you and where your favorites are playing stands out the most to me, but other features like an AI companion, grandstand seat tracker and Roar Moments that prevent you from missing impressive shots while you're on a different hole create an experience that I hope becomes the standard at professional golf events — and sports events in general.

How an app became one of my favorite parts of the PGA Championship

When I decided to go to the PGA Championship, I assumed there'd be some kind of app designed to help me get around the venue. After all, a golf course is a rather large venue for a sporting event compared to an arena or even a stadium.

What I didn't expect was how robust the app's features actually are and how much connectivity it would offer. In my experience, getting around the Aronimink Golf Club was smooth, as I always knew where I was, which players were near me and where I needed to go.

Golfer tracking

As dedicated a golf fan as I am, I can't tell who's on the fairway 200 yards away from me. I don't have super-powered vision, nor did I bring binoculars with me. So when I settled down into a spot, I pulled up the app, and in real-time, I could see which golfer was coming down the fairway. It helped to create a more at-home-like watching experience, even though I was at the event.

If you've ever been to a live golf event, you know how hard it can be to find an open seat in any of the grandstands. You walk up and hope someone happens to be leaving their spot at that exact moment, but there rarely is.

With that in mind, T-Mobile added a feature that tells you if there's any room in a particular grandstand and even lets you see a close-to-real-time photo of it, so you can see how much room there is for you (spoilers, there's probably no room if it's Sunday near the 18th hole, as I learned the hard way).

"You'll see a color circling around the grandstand. If it's green, that means you've got seating available," explained Scott Jacka, Sr Director, Technology Development Strategy at T-Mobile.

AI companion

AI is making its way into everything, and T-Mobile's app is certainly no exception. The AI assistant can answer all kinds of questions about the event, whether they're historical. For example, who won the last PGA Championship at Aronimink? It was Gary Player (pictured below with me) in 1962, by the way. You could also ask questions like did a certain golfer make the cut, what's a player's score at the moment and all kinds of other queries.

I did find the AI companion having a human avatar to be a little weird. I could have done without the attempt to humanize it, but for people less comfortable with AI, it might help make it feel a little more natural. Thankfully, there's an option in the settings to remove the avatar and have a more traditional AI chatbot experience.

It's not perfect, and there were some instances of it getting an answer wrong (I asked if Akshay Bhatia made the cut, knowing he didn't, and it responded that he did, but when I asked again, it said he scored a +5 and missed the cut). Still, if you want a quick knowledge hit about the PGA Championship, it's definitely a cool feature.

Roar Moments

When you're walking around a live golf event, you'll often hear cheers coming from another hole. Friends who attended many live golf events have told me this is one of the worst parts of going in person, as you then have to scan social media and various websites to find out what the hype is about.

"You might be in a particular location, and something good happens. You hear this roar of the crowd away from where you are, and you can have a little anxiety that you missed out on a key moment of action," explained T-Mobile's Scott Jacka. "Based upon how loud the crowd is, the technology can automatically cut and upload a clip to the cloud and then push it out to the fans, and so they can see that moment even though they weren't there."

Roar Moments, as the name implies, detects these loud bursts of crowd noise and feeds them into the app, so just a few moments after they happen, you can see the highlights. Is it as good as standing next to the green when Rory McIlroy or your favorite golfer sinks the birdie putt? No, of course not. But it's much better than scanning social media to find the highlight and guessing who it was and at which hole.

The future of in-person sports

Sometimes, attending an event live can make you feel like you're missing out, and this is especially true for golf because of the large playing area. But that's much less of a problem with the PGA Championship app.

Will we see this technology at Augusta for The Masters? Probably not, as that tournament is more steeped in tradition, but I would love to see it extend to the rest of the PGA Tour events and majors (note: the PGA Championship is a major hosted by the PGA of America, which is a different entity from the PGA Tour).

We'll see what the future holds, but if this is just a taste of what attending live sports will be like, I can't wait for more.

Watch PGA Championship 2026 live streams as the field heads into the final Sunday with plenty of players still in the mix to lift the Wanamaker Trophy at the Aronimink Golf Club in Pennsylvania for the 108th edition of the tournament.

Here we explain how you can watch PGA Championship 2026 golf without cable and from anywhere with a VPN

Reigning holder Scottie Scheffler has blown uncharacteristically hot and cold all week and finds himself five shots off the lead heading into the final 18 holes of the 7,394-yard Aronimink — a challenging round that, with its elusive fairways and 175 dastardly positioned bunkers, ranks among Golf Digest's toughest courses. That's surely too far off for a man even of his talents.

American Alex Smalley may never get a better chance to win a major, taking a two-shot lead into Sunday at 6 under. But there's a strong pack immediately behind him. Jon Rahm is two shots back, while Masters champ Rory McIlroy and former winner Xander Schauffele both shot excellent 66s yesterday to get themselves to 3 under and right back in contention.

Ever since I first tried a LAB Golf putter, I've been sold on the concept of zero torque, lie-angle balance, and all the other terms the company uses to describe its putters designed to stay square through the entire putting stroke.

Since then, I've tried most of the company's putters, from the original DF 2.1 in all its massive glory to the compact, newly-released Link 2.2 (my current favorite). So when I had the opportunity to chat with the LAB's Co-Founder, Sam Hahn, about all things golf and putting, I jumped at the chance.

'Co-opting our marketing language for their benefit'

"Anybody that's ever golfed before has pulled their putter back off the ball, and just kind of felt it kind of fighting them and being a little wiggly," said Hahn. "We put the shaft in the center or very near the center of mass. We then do some fine-tuning with all of our fancy weights to make it so that the putter helps to square itself."

Hahn is a self-proclaimed golf nerd, so I knew he'd have some interesting thoughts on the golf world, especially after his company (which he recently sold) made a huge splash in the putting space. The usual suspects that dominated putting, like Callaway-owned Odyssey, Titleist-owned Scotty Cameron, and TaylorMade Spiders, had to take notice of this new player.

And when you're the leader and a new player starts to take over, what do you do? You take their idea and do it yourself.

But that's where Hahn's issue comes up: he feels these other companies "water down 10-plus years of hard work and development." Hahn event said competitors are "co-opting our marketing language for their benefit without really any concern for the consumer."

It's not that Hahn is against competition. LAB had existed almost uncontested in the zero-torque space for many years, and he knew competition would come. "We were in a totally competition-free environment for the first 5 years of our existence," he said. "The competition has definitely helped inspire and push us to keep developing the technology."

But for Hahn, the issue is about consumers getting putters that aren't up to par (pun intended). According to Hahn, some competitors "are just so comfortable putting less-than-stellar product out there."

The low/zero torque putting trend

When I asked whether Hahn thought the other putter makers saw low/zero torque or Lie Angle Balanced as a gimmick they could capitalize on for cash, he quickly shot down the idea that anyone would view the design as such.

"I don't know that they necessarily think it's a gimmick," he said. "I think that they believe in the tech, and at this point, how could you not? It works, and everybody has a friend who's putting better since they got into this technology."

I reached out to a top-ranked PGA teacher to ask for his thoughts on the zero-torque putting trend. Heath Wassem, PGA Director of Golf at the Golf Performance Academy in Ridgefield, CT, didn't shoot down the idea of these putters. "I think the engineering in zero-torque putters is solid and the trend will extend over time and more people will be comfortable with it," he said.

However, he did point out that the torque in a putter actually allows more feel for distance, which is why, according to his research, "less than 10 percent of players on the Tour have adopted this type of putter."

"It can increase the make rate on shorter puts, but distance control may suffer," he said. "With zero-torque putters, you can’t feel as much distance control because they have taken the torque out of the centric part of feel."

Like anything, there's a tradeoff. For me, as a higher handicap golfer, making more putts inside 10 feet is a huge benefit and worth the loss of distance control. For a PGA player who expects to make most of their putts inside 10 feet (the current PGA tour lead belongs to Vince Whaley, who made 91.65% if his putts from this distance), this is less of a concern. "The average golfer should focus on putting from 10 feet and in and work on increasing their make rate," explained Wassem.

And zero torque isn't going anywhere. "Callaway has the Zero-Torque Square, TaylorMade has the Spider, Titleist and Scotty Cameron have the OC (onset center) line. They are all capitalizing on sales," notes Wassem. With all the big putter brands on board and LAB growing fast, it's obvious that we'll see these putters continue to evolve and perhaps even negate the issue with distance control.

Watching the 89th Masters Tournament live ranks among my favorite sporting moments ever. Witnessing Rory McIlroy slay his “white whale” at Augusta National Golf Club and finally bring home the career Grand Slam was a genuine privilege. Watching him go back-to-back and win the 90th Masters earlier this month wasn’t such a bad evening, either.

Ever since that fateful day in April 2025, when McIlroy became only the sixth player (and first European) to complete the career slam, I’ve been eagerly anticipating reliving the moment via Netflix’s golf docuseries, “Full Swing.” Since its premiere in 2023, “Full Swing” has done a great job of capturing the highs and lows of the sport, providing insight into victorious moments, crushing defeats, and the on-course narratives.

The previous three seasons of “Full Swing” have been excellent, so I had little doubt that season 4 would continue that trend and cover McIlroy’s win with the grandeur it deserves. So, consider me shocked that the docuseries has served up an underwhelming recount, with all the hallmarks of being a “rush job.” You could say it butchers the moment.

Let’s get this over with

The first episode of “Full Swing” season 4, entitled “Unfinished Business,” tackles the 89th Masters, and it doesn't do the momentous occasion justice.

For starters, the episode is the shortest of the season at 39 minutes. Once you strip away the accoutrements like the "hype reel" introduction and the questionable focus on Keegan Bradley (we’ll get to that later), there’s around 30 minutes of footage specifically centered on Augusta.

That is not enough time to properly tell the story of not only the events of the 89th Masters, but all the context explaining why McIlroy’s win was such a huge moment, a victory 14 years in the making. The episode also puts focus on Justin Rose, who ultimately came second, and while Rose’s involvement is important to the story, it further dilutes things.

For comparison’s sake, while Netflix’s “Full Swing” dedicates about 30 minutes to McIlroy’s Masters win, over on Prime Video, there’s an entire 90-minute documentary on the subject, “Rory McIlroy: The Masters Wait,” which is a much better watch for anybody wanting the scoop.

The Ryder Cup in the room

I can’t help but feel like the filmmakers behind “Full Swing” only included the 89th Masters out of a sense of obligation. After all, it would have been a very curious creative choice to omit such a landmark moment in the game of golf in a docuseries all about the sport.

Still, it’s quite clear that “Full Swing” season 4 is only really interested in one tournament: The Ryder Cup. Almost every talking-head interview in “Full Swing” season 4, episode 1, brings things back to Bethpage. That includes taking time to observe US captain Keegan Bradley at home, and constantly commenting on the pressures that come with being a Ryder Cup captain.

Then, as we watch Justin Rose surge up the Masters leaderboard to set up a nail-biting playoff against McIlroy, the framing is largely about how the English golfer has only been named in a single Ryder Cup squad and desperately hopes to make the cut for the 2025 edition. Even when the Masters is supposedly taking priority, the Ryder Cup looms large.

I’ve no problem with “Full Swing” wanting to emphasize the Ryder Cup. It’s a big deal in the golfing world, and the 2025 edition of the tournament (which is covered in episode 4, “The Last Stand”) certainly had enough dramatic moments to be worthy of taking the spotlight. But I can’t help but feel like maybe “Full Swing” should have just committed to making season 4 solely about the Ryder Cup, rather than trying to speed through the rest of the season in a very rushed fashion.

Perhaps the show's attention being monopolized by the Ryder Cup is to capture U.S. interest. After all, the 89th Masters was ultimately a showdown between an Englishman and a Northern Irishman (the highest-ranking American was Patrick Reed, finishing 3rd). Meanwhile, the Ryder Cup is a U.S. vs. Europe contest, so it has broader appeal and is more likely to capture the interest of American Netflix viewers.

Nevertheless, “Full Swing” has always done a marvelous job of encompassing the full breadth of the PGA tour, so it’s disappointing to see it stumble when the 89th Masters teed it up for a masterpiece.

There's a lot that goes into choosing a golf simulator. You need to pick where the launch monitor will sit, which model you want, the enclosure, the impact screen, the projector and more. And those purchases will set you back thousands of dollars — in my case, my golf simulator setup costs just under $10,000.

But with all those purchases, one of the cheaper things you'll buy might be the most important — the little hitting strip that goes into your mat. This is where you'll hit the ball, and the feel of different strip materials completely changes the way your club interacts with the turf.

I tested three different materials from Carl's Place to see which is right for me, and something I thought was a trivial detail of building my simulator ended up completely changing the way I practice and how well I hit my woods, irons and wedges.

The different types of hitting strips

There are three primary hitting strip materials, and each has its own benefits and drawbacks.

I asked Carl Markestad, Founder and President of Carl’s Place, about choosing a hitting strip. "When selecting the right hitting strip, [it's] one of the most critical and often overlooked parts of the simulator buying process," he said. "It’s important to think about the type of feel you want, whether that’s forgiveness, realism or something in the middle. You also need to consider who will be using it, because the right choice can make a real difference in joint comfort and how long someone can practice in a single session."

For Carl's Place models, which I used with the Carl's HotShot Golf Mat System, the most affordable is the Standard model at $79. It offers a mix of softness to help keep your joints from taking too much impact and firmness to properly punish chunked shots.

The next model is Foam, and it's all about providing more softness that won't punish your body on missed shots and chunks. The foam material is designed for longer practice sessions, playing around with family and inexperienced golfers and entertainment-focused setups. Anyone who's worried about overtraining. If you're dealing with injuries or other chronic conditions, you will benefit from this strip.

The foam mat costs quite a bit more than the Standard at $229. Of course, in the grand scheme of what you'll spend on a golf simulator, the extra money is pretty negligible.

Finally, we have the most expensive golf mat of the bunch, and it's the most realistic. It sells for $279, but it offers the benefit of a closer feel to real turf and will punish chunked shots, just like on the course.

The drawbacks here are that this realism does a number on your joints. It's also a bit less durable if you're known to chunk the ball often, since the gel material will wear out. At least, that's what Carl's Place says. I've been using mine daily for more than eight months, and it hasn't shown a bit of wear.

If you really need to work on consistent ball-first contact, this mat will suit your needs.

At the end of the day, personal preference is important. "There’s no one-size-fits-all when it comes to hitting strips, and that’s exactly why we developed multiple options. Some golfers want maximum forgiveness to save their joints, others want that true fairway interaction, and some prefer a more traditional, feedback-driven feel. Understanding those differences is key to getting the most out of your simulator," said Markestad.

Which leads me to the one I ultimately like best.

Which one am I choosing?

For me, the answer is a no-brainer: I love the gel mat, and it's helped me improve my ball striking faster than anything else in my golf simulator setup. I'm relatively young and healthy at 39, so the extra impact on the joints isn't a significant drawback for me at this time.

Will it be eventually? Almost certainly, but as someone who's only been golfing for around four years, the ability to closely simulate the real thing is priceless.

I do like the standard mat primarily because it's so affordable and feels relatively authentic.

For my needs, I don't like hitting off the foam mat. The idea that I'm making practice "easier" on my body at the expense of realism isn't for me, but I think it's incredible that the mat exists for those who need the extra softness on their joints.

Sure, it costs more, but for me, there's nothing better than practicing with conditions that feel as close to real as possible. And it really has translated to my on-course game. Between PathPal helping me fix my slice and the hitting strip improving my ball striking, I'll be well on my way to breaking 80 this year, and I couldn't be more excited about where my golf game is heading, even after taking it up so late in life.

• 'I noticed how much farther and straighter it was flying': PGA Tour pro Ben Griffin on playing a cheaper golf ball at The Masters

The Masters is one of the most exciting times of the year for golf fans. While we're all spending large sums on polos, gnomes, hats and other collectible goodies, the players in the tournament are preparing to compete. They're going through practice rounds, studying greens (especially the ones that have been redone since 2025's Masters), learning fairways, testing out the rough and giving themselves the best chance of success at August National.

I don't think I truly understood how much preparation goes into getting ready for The Masters until I sat down and chatted with Ben Griffin, the current 16th-ranked golfer on the OWGR list. While his comeback has been one for the ages, no golfer's story is complete until they play at Augusta National.

Sure, Ben Griffin and his unconventional Maxfli Tour X golf ball have picked up a few PGA Tour wins, but now comes his biggest test.

Why not use the same balls everyone else does?

There's no doubt that the most popular golf balls are the Titleist Pro V1 and Pro V1x. TaylorMade is right behind with its TP5 and TP5x.

But that didn't mean Ben Griffin was going to go with either of those balls if the numbers weren't the best. That's where his bond with Lexi Thompson and her family led him to Maxfli. And the results speak for themselves .

"I just noticed immediately how much farther and straighter it was flying off the tee," Ben Griffin said in an interview with Tom's Guide. "Not only am I going to hit maybe one more fairway, but I'm also going to have an average of six more yards."

For a PGA Tour player, reliably hitting one more fairway per round can be the difference between making the cut and not. After all, it's not just that you drive the ball farther — your next shot becomes easier. "That's the difference between a 9-iron and a pitching wedge. 8-iron and a 9-iron. Like that can make a big difference in a round."

And it's not as though Griffin didn't have reservations about using a $40 golf ball instead of $55 or $60 model like most players. As a tour pro, the price of the ball doesn't matter to him; he's not spending anything on them. But that didn't stop him from wondering, "Why are these balls as cheap as they are?"

"They aren't selling to wholesalers, pro shops, where they have to up the prices across the board," said Griffin. "What I learned is it's actually got just as much love and R&D and everything as these other brands, it's got all the tech in it."

Comeback kids

There are some obvious parallels between Maxfli's comeback story and Ben Griffin's own.

Griffin stepped away from golf to start a new career as a mortgage loan officer. "I didn't want anything to do with golf. So I tried to do something completely opposite," recounted Griffin on his time away from the game.

But golf found a way to creep back into life, "I played one round with a realtor trying to get business."

At the same time, Maxfli has come roaring back into golf with high-end tour balls and its own set of irons. On the crossover between his return to golf and Maxfli, Griffin said, "I felt like it resonated well with my brand as well, how I was kind of giving it a run in professional golf, took a step back, and now here we are again."

"I love sharing my story about Maxfli, and it's an easy story to share, and for people to go out and buy because it's one of the most affordable golf balls," said Griffin on his choice to use Maxfli's golf balls. "I felt like for me it was a unique opportunity to kind of be the one guy on tour to help bring this back because I just brought back my career."

And now it's time for The Masters

All of that brings Ben Griffin to one of the most exciting moments for any pro golfer: their first trip to The Masters, golf's most prestigious tournament.

Just as he approaches finding the right golf ball for his game, Griffin is meticulous in his preparation, not leaving his shot at success at Augusta to chance.

"I played three rounds between this off-season and earlier this week out there. Took a ton of notes. I played 18 [holes], and then I went around and probably spent like 20 minutes per green just like mapping it out," said Griffin on how he's getting ready for the biggest tournament of his career. "You can trust your caddy with certain things, but you're hitting the putt."

When I asked why he's doing the green mapping himself and not relying on his caddy, he said, "My caddy would probably do it as well, but nothing beats your own eyes when it comes down to it."

And it's not just greens, Griffin is looking over every detail, even the sometimes tricky Augusta yardage books, which he says have "about as little detail as possible." He elaborated, "They're meant for you to go out and take your own notes and figure out the course."

Maybe it's to keep some of the course's intrigue intact rather than putting every detail in a yardage book.

And playing Augusta doesn't always lead to a huge advantage. According to Griffin, the course will "regrass three greens a year, and they pick three different greens every single year. Except this past year, they did 16 again because they didn't like the brakes because they had to redesign it because the tree fell on it during that storm."

So that's three new greens, including one that was just redone last year, which will certainly impact players who've been to the Masters several times. "11, 14, and 16 are all new greens, so they're going to be a little bit firmer than the rest," noted Griffin. "It's Augusta trying to mess with you."

Ludvig Åberg followed up his stunning round of 63 with a solid round of 71 to move to 13-under after three rounds, three shots clear of his nearest challenger Michael Thorbjornsen.

The American is one shot clear of compatriot Cameron Young, who found the water on the last to drop two shots and end the day as he started it, on 9-under.

Matt Fitzpatrick also struggled on the 18th as a scruffy double-bogey means he will have work to do on day four as he sits on 8-under alongside 2021 champion Justin Thomas, Viktor Hovland, Xander Schauffele, Brian Harman and Corey Connors.

While plenty of eyes will be on McIlroy to see whether his body can hold up, it is not just the Northern Irishman who will be drawing attention as there is a stacked field in Florida. Scottie Scheffler is eyeing a third title in four years and enters as the pre-tournament favorite after back-to-back top 10 finishes.

FedExCup leader Collin Morikawa has enjoyed an excellent start to the season and will hope to be at the top of the leaderboard, while Tommy Fleetwood will hope to dust off his poor showing last week and become the first Englishman to win the tournament.

Other contenders include Akshay Bhatia, who arrives fresh off an impressive victory at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and his fellow Americans Rickie Fowler and Xander Schauffele. Five-time major champion Brooks Koepka will also hope to rediscover his best form in the PGA’s flagship event after a tough few tournaments since leaving LIV Golf.

With Justin Thomas, Hideki Matsuyama, Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Åberg also in action, and with a staggering purse of $25million up for grabs, it should be another thrilling tournament that you won’t want to miss.

There's a lot that goes into a golf simulator. I've broken down the parts of my golf simulator before, but I don't think I talked sufficiently about how important a good projector is to the overall enjoyment of playing golf at home.

So I turned to the BenQ AK700ST, a golf-sim projector with a bunch of useful features that make using it easy and fun — both for actually playing golf and for watching movies, playing games, and other entertainment. Here's why I use this projector with my golf simulator and why you might want to use it in your home setup.

Why I like the BenQ AK700ST

There's no single projector that's perfect for every setup, as we all have different needs. But for most golf enthusiasts, the BenQ AK700ST has key features that let you practice more efficiently at home and actually improve your game.

My favorite feature is probably Auto Screen Fit. As someone without a lot of projector experience, the idea of manually setting the focus and fit of the screen sounded daunting, but this lets me push one button and get everything about as close to perfect as possible (after I got more comfortable, I started making small manual tweaks, but these aren't necessary).

This feature isn't just beneficial to golf, though, because having your screen fit correctly and focused properly applies to watching shows and movies and playing video games. You don't want to play Call of Duty with a slightly out-of-focus projector, and the Auto Screen Fit feature ensures this won't be a problem.

Purely for golf fans, the BenQ AK700ST has a Golf picture mode. With it, you get colors tailored for different golf course environments. This creates a more immersive golf experience by heightening the greens and other common golf-related colors. It's not going to actually help you improve your game, but it will make your practice time more enjoyable.

Probably the most important factor in helping you improve at golf, though, is the projector's versatility in placement. The short-throw lens is designed specifically for golf sim environments, allowing you to place it closer to the screen so it won't be in your backswing, even if your ceilings aren't the perfect height. And it can go as large as 200 inches, so you can get that immersive feel you want.

Not without drawbacks

Of course, nothing is without drawbacks, and the BenQ AK700ST isn't an exception. One minor issue is that it only has two HDMI ports (fairly standard for projectors, but still annoying), which greatly limits the number of devices you can hook up (your computer will require one port for your golf simulator, leaving you with only one port for a game console, smart TV, or anything else).

It doesn't sound like a big deal since you can do most things with a PC, but then you might want to hook up a soundbar via HDMI ARC — now you've used both HDMI ports, leaving no room for a game console or anything else.

To combat this, I ordered this 4-port 8K HDMI 2.1 switch on Amazon for $39. This gives me enough ports for my Switch 2, Xbox Series X, PC, and one flex spot for other devices, while allowing me to use the HDMI ARC port for my Bose Smart Soundbar (another must-have if you plan to use your golf sim for other forms of entertainment).

I also wish it had an optical port for hooking up the soundbar, as this would alleviate the need for HDMI ARC, but this is a fairly minor gripe since there's a perfectly reasonable solution outlined above.

BenQ AK700ST final thoughts

Perhaps the ultimate drawback for anyone looking to build a golf simulator on a budget is the price. At $2,899, this device will break the bank. But it has a 3-year limited warranty, and the light source is rated for 20,000 hours, which means you won't need a new one for several years.

Are there cheaper models that will do the job? Absolutely, but with 4,000 lumens of brightness, this projector will work in lighter spaces, which is harder to find on less expensive models.

I think it's worth the money, but if you are in the market for a budget-friendly projector designed explicitly for golf, consider the BenQ TH671ST Golf Projector, which comes in at $949. It's 1080p and 3,000 lumens, but with around $2,000 in savings, it might be worth considering.

Regardless, if you want to improve your golf game at home with as little setup and work as possible, a golf-specific projector is one of the must-have devices for your sim.

• I ditched my boring golf bag for a customizable one — here’s why I’ll never go back

Golf is an exceedingly difficult game. You can practice obsessively and still not get better if you're simply drilling the same mistakes over and over. That's where practice aids can make all the difference. With them, you can make meaningful swing changes that are actually correct.

I've started using tons of training aids recently after practicing blindly for the first few years of my golfing life. It's incredible how quickly my game has improved once I started working proper practice into my routine (having a golf simulator in my living room has helped tremendously). But even with the simulator, practicing incorrectly will give poor results.

Whether you're looking to hit the local driving range, just work on your swing in your backyard or have access to a full simulator, these training aids will help you get better at golf, which is really what we're all looking to do.

Jacob Bridgeman shot a seven-under round of 64 to move to 19-under and claim the solo lead of the Genesis Invitational. The American had been tied at the top after two rounds with Marco Penge, but is now six shots clear of his nearest challenger after a brilliant round on Saturday.

Rory McIlroy shot a two-under-par 69 to lie in second place on 13 under in California, with South Africa's Aldrich Potgieter one shot further back in third. England's Aaron Rai is fourth, while Penge slipped to joint-seventh on the leaderboard after shooting a two-over 74.

You can watch Genesis Invitational 2026 live streams from anywhere with a VPN.

One week ago, Collin Morikawa secured a birdie at the last to claim victory at the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, his first PGA Tour win in more than two years. Now the American will be seeking to continue his hot streak and make it back-to-back triumphs as he tees it up alongside the world’s best at the Genesis Invitational.

It certainly won’t be easy for the 29-year-old, with a host big names competing in Pacific Palisades. World No. 1 Scheffler fired a nine-under in his find round at Pebble Beach to extend his streak of top-10 PGA Tour finishes to 18, while Min Woo-Lee, Tommy Fleetwood and Sepp Straka were all in superb form in California.

McIlroy will also be eying a first victory of the year and will look to build on his final round of 64 at Pebble Beach. Then there’s the reigning champion Aberg who will be looking to kickstart his 2026 after a disappointing start to the year.

With the highly-ranked Justin Rose, Chris Gotterup, Russell Henley and Robert MacIntyre also in action, it should be another fascinating tournament that you won’t want to miss.

Below is a complete guide on where to watch 2026 Genesis Invitational live streams, together with U.S. broadcast schedules and international TV channels.

I've always dreamed of having a golf simulator in my home. I had an outdoor net-based practice place at my old house, but it just didn't offer the same level of satisfaction. Thankfully, I've moved to a new house with vaulted ceilings in the living room (and I'm lucky enough to have a wonderful girlfriend who let me steal the entire living room for a simulator), so I'm ready to go.

As someone who loves researching products and finding the best option, I eventually locked in Carl's Place as the go-to for my enclosure, hitting mats and everything else I needed to build a moderately affordable simulator. And the experience turned out to be better than I ever imagined. I even talked to Carl Markestad, the owner and namesake of Carl's Place, about golf simulators to learn more about getting a home unit up and running.

My golf enclosure set up and the price

So here's what I got from Carl's Place and how much it cost (I said moderately budget-friendly, but if you're not well-versed in the golf simulator world, these are expensive).

For the enclosure, I went with the DIY model (there are Pro and Built-In models that cost more). As my room is a little tight, I went with the smallest size: 8 feet wide by 8 feet tall and 5 feet deep (you can make it shallower, which I wish I had). I also got the pipe kit, as I had no interest in cutting my own piping to build the enclosure. Other extras that made sense to me were the back-cover kit, the rear pipes, the wall-extension nets to protect against shanks, and the foam inserts.

All in, the enclosure costs $2,510 as configured. You can drop the back cover if your sim is against a wall, as it's designed to block light from coming in the back.

There are plenty of other costs associated with a golf simulator — hitting mat, gaming PC, projector, soundbar, and of course, the launch monitor. Here's everything I'm using with my golf simulator:

The List

• BenQ AK700ST: $2,899
• Enclosure and extras: $2,510
• HP Omen gaming PC: I already had this, but I spent around $1,900
• Square Golf launch monitor: $699
• Carl's Place 5X8 hitting mat: $697
• Bose Smart Soundbar: $549
• Carl's HotShot Gel Hitting Strip: $280
• GSPro License: $250

Take a deep breath, because when I add all those extras up, you might fall off your chair. If you want to replicate my exact system, you'll need to spend $9,784 (under $10,000 thanks to Square's affordability, assuming you can find one in stock).

The shopping experience

There aren't many things you're going to buy that cost as much as a golf simulator. Your car and is almost certainly more (though if you go fully custom, you can easily reach the same price as a high-end car).

That means you likely want a shopping experience similar to buying a car or a home, where an expert shows you all the options and helps you choose what's best for you. That's why I ultimately used Carl's Place for my enclosure. They will call you to confirm that your space can accommodate a golf simulator. They'll help you choose the enclosure that fits your space (in my case, the smallest non-customer option, 8x8 feet).

"Our goal is to make this a little less intimidating. We also want to provide a great value with the products themselves," said Carl Markstad, owner of Carl's Place, in an interview with Tom's Guide.

He also discussed the DIY process, which is the more affordable option (and the one I used) and wasn't too hard to assemble, even with my limited DIY skills. "We want to help people do it themselves. We know the gap for a user is information," he said. "We want to help users facilitate the completion of the project."

If you know what you want, you can simply go to their website, add it to your cart and pay as you would with any other online retailer. But if you're looking for some help, I can't recommend them enough.

But is it worth it?

I am happy to report that having a golf simulator in my home has added more joy than any single thing I've ever owned. Between being able to play golf whenever I want and watching movies on an 8-foot screen, it's amazing.

When I spoke to Carl Markstad, he agreed: "The other potential uses for the thing are a common selling point that we talk about," he said. "What makes it good for one is what makes it good for the other."

For me, taking a lunch break and playing a quick 9 holes (or 18 if I rush and turn off putting) is, in my opinion, the best way to spend a break.

And it's turned my video game-loving 9-year-old stepson onto golf, since it combines elements of video games with golf. Now, he's always asking to play, and he can't wait to hit a real course in the Spring (no outdoor golf is being played in frigid Connecticut this time of year).

So is it worth it? For me, it absolutely is. Between the golf and having a huge screen to watch movies and play video games on, I couldn't be happier. It's a pricey investment, but for anyone looking to have more fun while improving their golf game, it's worthwhile.

Just make sure to work with Carl's Place (or another retailer with a similar level of customer service) so your space can accommodate the large hobby, and you get the right parts for your individual needs.

The LIV Golf 2026 live streams will feature the biggest names in world golf duking it out over 14 events for among the largest purses on offer. Jon Rahm again topped last year's individual points list but it's the team element that provides the LIV tour with its most significant point of difference, with 13 rosters of four players competing across all events to take the coveted team prize. This is golf, but with a disruptive, uniquely modern twist.
