Honest Ashworth Golf Clothing Review 2026 | Three Putt Golf

Updated on: October 28, 2026 • ~12 min read

We test golf apparel the way we play. Hard, social, and honest.

If you played golf in the 1990s, there's a good chance you owned an Ashworth polo.

It was the brand Fred Couples wore when he won the 1992 Masters, and its colourful shirts still turn up on vintage rails.

However, the Ashworth you can buy in 2026 isn't the same company. It has been sold three times since 2008, and the brand now belongs to a firm in Hong Kong.

So is it still worth buying?

Here, I'll take you through who runs Ashworth now, what it costs in pounds and dollars, how it fits, and the easiest way to buy it in Britain.

How We Review Golf Clothing Brands

Every review on the Three Putt journal is written by Graeme Whiles, the founder of Three Putt Golf Clothing. As a competing brand, we have an obvious conflict of interest. We take this seriously and address it directly in our review methodology, which explains how we assess brands consistently regardless of whether they compete with us.

Verdict: 7.1/10

Ashworth is the California golf brand behind the classic 90s polo, now owned by Hong Kong's YGM Trading and sold in Britain under licence by ProQuip. We liked the fairly priced polos at £49 to £69, the UK store's pound prices with VAT included, and free UK delivery over £50.

Fred Couples won the 1992 Masters in Ashworth but signed with Malbon Golf in December 2025, so its new face in Britain is English tour pro Brandon Robinson-Thompson, its UK ambassador since 2026.

Where it falls short for UK golfers: the range is men's only, we found no waterproof jacket on the UK store, and you pay the postage on returns.

This brand is best for golfers who want a classic polo with real golf history behind it.

Ashworth not the right brand for you? Check out our comprehensive list of the best Ashworth Golf alternatives.

Key Features

• Signature tech/fabric: Matte "full dull" polyester with spandex in many of the UK polos, plus AG TECH and a Pima cotton blend called CT TECH in the US
• Design language: The Golfman logo, bold stripes and prints, with geometric, camo and stripe patterns for spring and summer 2026
• Fit profile: Tops from S to XXXL (a 34 to 56-inch chest) and trousers in 30 to 44-inch waists with three leg lengths
• Range depth: Mostly polos, with quarter-zips, hoodies, wind tops, quilted jackets, trousers, shorts and a cap. Men's only

Pros

• A UK store in pounds: Prices on ashworth-golf.co.uk include VAT, and delivery is free over £50, in 1 to 3 working days
• Fair polo prices: £49 to £69 at full price, and GolfOnline sells some for less
• Real golf heritage: Founded in 1987, worn by Couples to a Masters win, and its founder John Ashworth came back as creative director in December 2024
• Sizes to XXXL: Every UK top we checked runs from S to XXXL

Cons

• Men's only: No women's or junior range on the UK or US stores
• No waterproofs: The UK store sells wind tops and quilted jackets, but no waterproof jacket
• You pay to send it back: UK returns are accepted for 30 days, but the postage is yours, and swaps mean ordering again
• Hardly any reviews: No Trustpilot page, and no product reviews on the UK store

Ashworth Pricing

Ashworth sits in the middle of the golf market, and the UK store prices everything in pounds with VAT included.

Polos cost £49 to £69, quarter-zips £79 to £99, and the Tech Stretch Performance Pant is £129.

In the US, full-price polos run from $69 for the Fairway Polo to $115 for a long-sleeve Supima cotton polo, and the GM Classic Pant is $135.

The UK store doesn't ship to the US, and the US store doesn't ship to Britain, so the two price lists never meet.

The table uses the UK store's full prices, before any sale.

Category	Entry	Typical	Premium
Polos	£49	£59 to £65	£69
Midlayers & Hoodies	£69	£79 to £99	£110
Trousers/Shorts	£99	£99 to £129	£129
Outerwear	£99	£109	£129

UK prices on ashworth-golf.co.uk, October 2026 (full prices, VAT included): La Quinta Polo £49, Tricolour Performance Polo and Signature Golfman Polo £59, Palmer Polo £65, Paisley Polo £69, Belmont Hoodie £69, Comfort Stretch 1/4 Zip £79, Peached Tech 1/4 Zip £89, French Terry 1/4 Zip £99, Bamboo Hoodie £110, Tech Stretch Warp Short £99, Tech Stretch Performance Pant £129, Tech Stretch Vest £99, 1/4 Zip Wind Shirt £109, Quilted Scuba Jacket £129 and Golfman Tech Cap £19.99.

US prices on ashworth-golf.com, October 2026 (full prices, though many items were 30 to 50% off at the time): Fairway Polo $69, 2Bar Solid Polo $89, LS Newport Supima Polo $115, Belmont Hoodie $85, Crosby 1/4 Zip $98, Terry Twillback 1/4 Zip and Newport Supima Hoodie $125, GM Classic Short $115, Coast Pull-On Pant $125, GM Classic Pant $135, AG Packable Jacket $125, Aeroflex Vest $145 and the Reserve Classic Tour RS golf shoe $180.

Comparison:

• Ashworth vs Three Putt: Ashworth's Palmer Polo is £65 on its UK store. Three Putt is a UK brand with golf polos from £33.99 ($47), tees from £29.99 and hoodies from £49.99, with free UK delivery and free US delivery over $40. Ashworth is the classic clubhouse polo; Three Putt is the one with a sense of humour.
• Ashworth vs Linksoul: John Ashworth co-founded Linksoul in 2009, long after he left Ashworth. Its polos run from $68 to $98, against $69 to $115 for Ashworth's US polos, so the two sit in the same price band.
• Ashworth vs ProQuip: ProQuip runs Ashworth's UK business from Carlisle, and its own range is built around waterproofs, from the £90 Tempest jacket to the £180 PX9. Buy the waterproof from ProQuip and the polo from Ashworth.
• Ashworth vs Glenmuir: Glenmuir's men's golf shirts cost £55 to £95 on its own site, mostly £60 to £75, against £49 to £69 for Ashworth's UK polos. Glenmuir is the Scottish heritage pick, and Ashworth has the 90s California story.

Promos/Outlet Notes:

The UK store gives you 20% off your first order when you join its mailing list.

It also runs sales: in October 2026, the Tech Stretch Performance Pant was down from £129 to £89 and the Bamboo Hoodie from £110 to £69.

GolfOnline sells some Ashworth below the UK store's full price, such as the Oasis Polo at £49.95 against a £69 RRP, and gift cards on the UK store run from £10 to £100.

Verdict: 7.4/10

Fair money for a heritage polo, and the UK store keeps it simple in pounds.

Ashworth Fit & Sizing (Usability)

Ashworth keeps its sizing simple.

Tops run from S to XXXL, from a 34 to 36-inch chest in a Small up to 54 to 56 inches in a XXXL.

Notes:

• Tops: S to XXXL on the UK store, and on US polos, layers and hoodies (US T-shirts stop at XXL), with no tall or big-and-tall range.
• Trousers: UK waists run from 30 to 44 inches in even sizes, in 29, 31 or 33-inch leg lengths.
• Fit names: The UK Tech Stretch Performance Pant has a "modern fashion fit", while the French Terry 1/4 Zip is cut in a classic golf fit.
• US trousers: Ashworth's US store says to order one size down in the GM Classic Pant if you like a trim fit.

Accessibility/Range:

• Women's and juniors: There's nothing for either on the UK or US stores.
• Bigger sizes: XXXL tops cover a 54 to 56-inch chest and a 43 to 46-inch waist.

Verdict: 6.8/10

Sensible sizes for men, but nothing for women, juniors or tall golfers.

Ashworth Core Product Categories

Polos

The polos are why you'd buy Ashworth, and they make up most of the UK range.

The £49 La Quinta is plain 100% polyester. Step up to the Tricolour (£59) or the striped Palmer (£65) and you get 88% polyester and 12% spandex for stretch.

The £69 Paisley Polo uses Ashworth's matte "full dull" polyester with UPF 50+ sun protection and an antimicrobial finish.

In the US, the Fairway Polo ($69) is made from AG TECH, and the 2Bar Solid Polo ($89) from CT TECH, which blends Pima cotton with polyester.

Verdict: 7.6/10

Midlayers & Hoodies

The Comfort Stretch 1/4 Zip (£79) is a light jersey of 89% polyester and 11% elastane, made for spring and summer.

The French Terry 1/4 Zip (£99) is 75% polyester, 19% rayon and 6% spandex, and the Bamboo Hoodie (£110) is a light, breathable mix of 67% bamboo and 28% cotton.

The Belmont Hoodie (£69) is the stretchier choice, at 91% polyester and 9% spandex.

Verdict: 7.2/10

Trousers & Shorts

This is the thinnest part of the UK range.

There's one pair of each: the Tech Stretch Performance Pant (£129) and the Tech Stretch Warp Short (£99), both in a four-way stretch polyester warp knit.

The US store has more choice, including the GM Classic Pant ($135) and the Coast Pull-On Pant ($125), but it won't ship to Britain.

Verdict: 6.4/10

Outerwear

We found no waterproof jacket on the UK store, even though its guarantee page promises three years of waterproofing.

What it does sell is the 1/4 Zip Wind Shirt (£109), which is water repellent for light showers, plus a Tech Stretch Vest (£99) and the Quilted Scuba Jacket (£129).

GolfOnline does list an Ashworth Waterproof Half Sleeve 1/4 Zip Pullover at £119 (RRP £159). For a proper wet winter, see our guide to the best waterproof golf clothing.

Verdict: 5.8/10

Caps & Accessories

The Golfman Tech Cap is £19.99 in the UK, and Ashworth says it's water repellent and windproof.

The US store adds belts, bags and golf shoes, such as the $180 Reserve Classic Tour RS, but none of it ships here.

Verdict: 6.6/10

Ashworth Materials & Tech (Construction, Sustainability)

Ashworth's US store names two fabrics. AG TECH is a matte polyester and spandex knit with UPF 50+, and CT TECH blends Pima cotton yarns with technical polyester.

The UK store gives the blend for most products, which is more useful anyway.

Backend (manufacturing & standards):

• Who owns it: YGM Trading Limited of Hong Kong, which bought Ashworth's worldwide trademarks from TaylorMade Golf in September 2019, after more than 20 years as a partner.
• Who sells it: ProQuip runs Ashworth Golf UK from Carlisle under a long-term licence announced in February 2023. North American Golf LLC runs the US store from La Quinta, California.
• Origin: The UK store says some products are made worldwide, including in Southeast and Eastern Asia, but it doesn't name a country for each product.
• Sustainability: The only recycled material we found was recycled PET ripstop on a few US bags.

Application (on-garment features):

• Paisley Polo: 94% matte polyester and 6% spandex, with UPF 50+ and an antimicrobial finish.
• Bamboo Hoodie: 67% bamboo, 28% cotton and 5% spandex.
• Tech Stretch Performance Pant: A 100% polyester warp knit, which Ashworth says keeps its shape.
• 1/4 Zip Wind Shirt: Water repellent for light rain and showers.

Verdict: 6.8/10

Sensible golf fabrics with clear blends. Very little on sourcing or sustainability.

Ashworth Customer Support

For UK buyers, the UK store is the one to use, and it's run by a British golf company.

Channels & Hours

• UK store: Phone +44 (0)1228 210551 or email info@ashworth-golf.co.uk, Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
• US store: Chat or phone (760-400-6206 or 1-833-618-0423), Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 4:30pm Eastern.
• Shops: We found no Ashworth shops in Britain, and at its 2023 US relaunch Ashworth said it planned to sell mostly through golf club pro shops.

Policies

• UK returns: 30 days for a full refund, unworn and unwashed with labels attached. The policy counts from receipt in one place and from despatch in another, so send it back promptly. You pay the postage to ProQuip's warehouse in Coatbridge.
• UK exchanges: There are no direct swaps. You order the right size again and send the first one back for a refund.
• US returns: 30 days, with a $9.95 return shipping fee, and Final Sale items can't go back.

Self-Serve

• UK delivery: Free over £50 and 1 to 3 working days. Under £50, the delivery page says £5 and the product pages say £6.
• US store: It ships within the US only, free over $150 by FedEx 2-Day.
• Other UK routes: GolfOnline sells Ashworth polos and layers, and Amazon UK has US-range polos from a third-party seller.

Verdict: 7.0/10

Easy to buy in pounds, with a phone line in Carlisle. Paying your own return postage is the catch.

What Are Ashworth's Review Ratings from Review Sites?

(As of October 2026)

• On-site: The UK store shows no product reviews.
• Trustpilot: We couldn't find a Trustpilot profile for Ashworth's UK or US stores.
• Editorial: Plugged In Golf found the polos comfortable on and off the course in December 2024, and GolfMagic covered the 2026 collection, but neither is a long-term test.
• Credibility Signals: Brandon Robinson-Thompson became its UK ambassador in 2026, and GolfOnline stocks the brand. Fred Couples, its best-known face, moved to Malbon Golf in December 2025.

Synthesis:

Ashworth's reputation is mostly history. Today's range has very few public reviews, so the heritage is doing a lot of the work.

Is Ashworth a Good Golf Brand?

Yes, and its UK store makes it easy to buy in Britain.

The UK store sells in pounds with VAT included, delivers free over £50, and the polos are fairly priced at £49 to £69.

However, it's men's only, there's no waterproof on the UK store, and you'll pay to send back anything that doesn't fit.

If you want a classic polo with real golf history behind it, Ashworth is well worth a look.

If you want golf clothing from a UK brand that sells direct, Three Putt's golf polos start at £33.99 and our heavyweight hoodies at £49.99, with free UK delivery on every order.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ashworth

Who owns Ashworth golf clothing?

YGM Trading Limited, a Hong Kong company, owns the Ashworth brand. It bought the worldwide trademarks from TaylorMade Golf in September 2019, after working with Ashworth since 1998. YGM licenses the brand to local partners: ProQuip runs the UK store, which also serves Ireland, mainland Europe and Australia, and North American Golf LLC runs the US store from California.

Can I buy Ashworth in the UK?

Yes. The official UK store, ashworth-golf.co.uk, is run by ProQuip and sells in pounds with VAT included. Delivery is free on orders over £50 and takes 1 to 3 working days.

Who is John Ashworth?

John Ashworth founded the brand in California in 1987 and left the business in 1997. In 2009 he co-founded Linksoul, a relaxed California golf label, with his nephew Geoff Cunningham. He returned to Ashworth as creative director in December 2024, after 28 years away from the company he started.

Who wears Ashworth on tour?

Fred Couples is the name most linked to Ashworth: he won the 1992 Masters in it and rejoined as an ambassador in 2023, but he signed with Malbon Golf in December 2025. In May 2026, English DP World Tour player Brandon Robinson-Thompson became Ashworth's UK ambassador, two months after tying for second at the Joburg Open.

How does Ashworth sizing work?

UK tops run from S to XXXL, which covers a 34 to 36-inch chest up to 54 to 56 inches. Trousers come in even waist sizes from 30 to 44 inches, with 29, 31 or 33-inch legs. There's no tall or big-and-tall range. On the US store, Ashworth suggests one size down in its GM Classic Pant for a trimmer fit.

What is Ashworth's returns policy in the UK?

You can return unworn, unwashed items within 30 days for a full refund, though the policy counts from receipt in one place and from despatch in another, so don't leave it late. You pay the return postage to ProQuip's warehouse in Coatbridge, Scotland. There are no direct exchanges: you order the right size again and send the original back for a refund.

Is Ashworth a British brand?

No, although its UK store calls Ashworth "a British company". The brand started in California in 1987 and is owned by Hong Kong's YGM Trading. What is British is the UK business: ProQuip, the Carlisle golf company behind ProQuip waterproofs, runs Ashworth's UK store under licence and handles its UK customer service and returns.

What brands are similar to Ashworth?

Linksoul is the closest in spirit, since John Ashworth co-founded it after leaving his first brand, and its polos cost $68 to $98, much like Ashworth's US range. Glenmuir is the classic Scottish alternative, with men's golf shirts from £55 to £95. If you want a UK brand with golf polos from £33.99, Three Putt is worth a look.
