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

Tiger Woods' post-Nike label: tour-grade polos, a tiger with 15 stripes on the chest, and a price tag that knows exactly who founded it.

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: 7.9/10

Sun Day Red is the brand Tiger Woods and TaylorMade launched in 2024, weeks after Tiger's 27-year Nike partnership ended. We liked how complete it already is two years in: three named polo fits, Polartec rain gear, a merino and cashmere knit range, and golf shoes the UK golf press rates highly.

Where it falls short for UK buyers: £105 polos and £228 shoes, free delivery only on orders over £200, no UK stockists we could find, and a £40 fee taken off every UK refund. Sizing stops at 2XL, and the logo still splits opinion.

This brand is best for golfers who want Tiger's tour wardrobe, know their size, and don't plan on sending anything back.

Key Features

• Signature tech/fabric: Polartec Delta and Polartec Power Shield across performance and rain pieces, 3D whole-garment knitting on merino and cashmere, and a 190gsm stretch polyester Core Polo
• Design language: Tour-polished and quietly premium, built around the tiger logo whose 15 stripes stand for Tiger's 15 major championships
• Fit profile: Three named polo fits (Heritage, Refined and TW Performance); men's polos S–2XL, trousers in 30–40 waists
• Range depth: Polos, tees, knitwear, trousers, shorts, outerwear, golf shoes, headwear and gloves, plus a full women's collection since April 2026; no juniors range yet

Pros

• One of the most complete premium golf wardrobes on the market, only two years after launch
• Golf shoes the specialist press rates highly: Today's Golfer gave the Presidio 4.5/5
• Three polo fits, so slim builds and classic builds are both catered for
• A UK storefront priced in pounds, and 4.89/5 across 870 on-site reviews

Cons

• Premium pricing: £105–£132 polos, £228–£251 for the Pioneer shoes, £502 for the rain jacket
• £40 deducted from every UK refund, and free UK delivery only over £200
• Polos stop at 2XL, with no talls and no 34" inside leg on trousers
• The tiger logo divides opinion, and Puma has challenged it in several countries

Sun Day Red Pricing

Sun Day Red priced itself as a luxury golf label from day one: polos at £105–£132, mid-layers from £119, trousers at £146–£150, and a £502 three-layer rain jacket at the top. The UK store charges in pounds, which helps, but free delivery only starts at £200, so most single-item orders won't reach it.

Category	Entry	Typical	Premium
Polos/Tees	£53	£105–£114	£132+
Midlayers	£119	£141–£146	£169+
Trousers/Shorts	£114	£119–£146	£150
Outerwear	£137	£182–£228	£502
Caps	£44	£46	£50
Golf Shoes	£160	£181–£228	£251

Prices from Sun Day Red's UK store, October 2026 (Pima tee £52.90, Core Polo £104.88, Cardinal polo £132.24, Icon Chain Stitch crew £118.56, Magnolia quarter zip £141.36, Dynam II pant £145.92, Jupiter pant £150.48, Elements anorak £136.80, 3L rain jacket £501.60, caps to £50.16, Osprey £159.60, Presidio £180.58, Pioneer Cypress £228, Pioneer Magnolia £250.80). The 3D Tour cashmere knits and the long-sleeve cashmere polo sit above the table at £319–£342.

Comparison:

• Sun Day Red vs Three Putt: Different jobs entirely. Sun Day Red dresses Tiger's Sunday at £105 a polo; Three Putt dresses the Saturday fourball, with tees from £23.99, hoodies under £52 and free UK delivery on every order.
• Sun Day Red vs Nike Golf: Tiger's old home and his new one. Nike Golf is far easier to buy in the UK, with stockists everywhere and regular sales; Sun Day Red is the pricier, more premium wardrobe, and the one with Tiger's name on it.
• Sun Day Red vs Malbon Golf: Both sell a lifestyle as much as a polo, but to different golfers. Malbon is streetwear attitude and capsule drops; Sun Day Red is tour polish and technical fabrics, with less fashion risk and a higher price.
• Sun Day Red vs Peter Millar: The closest match on price: Peter Millar polos run £85–£130 from UK stockists, Sun Day Red's £105–£132 direct. Peter Millar wins on UK availability and quiet heritage; Sun Day Red wins if you want the Tiger factor and a sharper tour edge.

Promos/Outlet Notes:

There's no permanent outlet, but a "Final Few" sale section runs 40–50% off select styles, and ID.me verification gives US military, teachers, first responders and nurses 15% off. We found no working public discount code. Free UK delivery starts at £200.

Verdict: 6.4/10

Level with Peter Millar on paper; harder to justify from the UK once the £200 free-delivery threshold and the £40 return fee come into it.

Sun Day Red Fit & Sizing (Usability)

Sun Day Red is one of the few golf brands that names its fits and lets you choose. Heritage is the classic, roomier polo; Refined is 2 inches narrower than Heritage; TW Performance is the athletic, most tapered cut. The catch is the range: polos stop at 2XL and there are no talls.

Notes:

• Polos/Tees: Three fits across the polo range, named on each product page. On-site reviewers say the Core Polo runs small, so size up if you're between sizes.
• Midlayers: Hoodies and crews run XS–2XL, so smaller golfers are covered and bigger ones less so.
• Trousers/Shorts: Waists 30–40 with 30" or 32" inside legs only. The Dynam II short is 9", the Training Hex short 7.5".
• Outerwear: The same S–2XL run. Check the size guide against your chest measurement before ordering, because a UK return costs £40.
• Golf Shoes: On-site reviewers say the Pioneer Cypress runs about half a size small or narrow. Golf Monthly found it true to size, and Today's Golfer says the Presidio "fits to size".
• Size Charts: Size guides on every product page, with the polo fit (Heritage, Refined or TW Performance) stated on each.

Accessibility/Range:

• Men's polos S–2XL; no 3XL and no talls.
• Women's apparel XS–XL, and women's shoes in US sizes 5.5–12.
• No juniors range on the site yet.

Verdict: 7.6/10

Three named polo fits is a genuinely useful idea. The 2XL ceiling and short inside legs let it down.

Sun Day Red Core Product Categories

Polos & Tees

The heart of the brand. Polos start at £104.88 for the Core Polo, Icon Polo II and Crosswind, step up through stripes and jacquards at £109–£123, and top out with the Cardinal at £132 (plus a £342 long-sleeve cashmere polo for the very committed). The Core Polo is 96% polyester and 4% elastane at 190gsm; the Crosswind adds UV50+ protection. Pima cotton tees at £52.90 are the cheapest way to get the logo.

Verdict: 8.1/10

Midlayers (crews/hoodies/quarter-zips)

Arguably the strongest category. The Icon Chain Stitch crew (£118.56) and hoodie (£145.92) cover the casual side, the Magnolia quarter zip (£141.36) is the on-course layer, and the 3D whole-garment merino (from £168.72) and cashmere (£319–£342) pieces move into luxury knitwear. The Montauk hoodie sits at £228.

Verdict: 8.3/10

Trousers/Shorts

A tight, well-specified range: the Dynam II pant (£145.92) and short (£118.56) in 68% recycled polyester, the Jupiter five-pocket pant (£150.48) in Japanese four-way stretch fabric, the 7.5-inch Training Hex short (£123.12) and the Icon Chain Stitch jogger (£114). The 30" and 32" inside legs leave taller golfers out.

Verdict: 7.7/10

Outerwear

This is where the technical credentials show. The 3L rain jacket and wind/rain half zip (£501.60 each) and the 3L rain vest (£410.40) use Polartec Power Shield, the insulated grid vest (£228) and jacket (£273.60) handle cold rounds, and the Elements anorak (£136.80) is the entry point. Proper kit for a British winter, priced against the best waterproof golf clothing.

Verdict: 8.0/10

Golf Shoes

The shoes are the most searched part of the brand, and the reviews explain why. The Pioneer line sits at the top (Cypress and Willow at £228, Magnolia at £250.80), the spikeless Presidio (£180.58) and the Osprey (£159.60) are the more accessible pairs, and the Jupiter slide (£54.72) is for after the round. Golf Monthly praised the Pioneer Cypress's build and outsole, and Today's Golfer scored the Presidio 4.5/5.

Verdict: 8.5/10

Caps & Accessories

Caps and hats run £43.78–£50.16, and the Tour Flex glove is £41.04. There are no belts or socks on the site, so this is a thinner category than most premium rivals offer.

Verdict: 7.0/10

Sun Day Red Materials & Tech (Construction, Sustainability)

Sun Day Red leans on named partner fabrics rather than inventing its own: Polartec for weather and warmth, Japanese stretch fabric for trousers, and 3D whole-garment knitting for its premium knits. What's missing is any detail on where it's made.

Backend (manufacturing & standards):

• Country of manufacture is shown only as "Imported" on product pages.
• No sustainability certifications found (no OEKO-TEX, bluesign or GOTS claims).
• Some recycled content: 68% recycled polyester in the Dynam II trousers and shorts, 87% recycled nylon in the women's Icon polo.
• Run as a stand-alone business under TaylorMade, based in San Clemente, California, rather than at TaylorMade's Carlsbad headquarters.

Application (on-garment features):

• Core Polo: 96% polyester / 4% elastane, 190gsm.
• Crosswind Polo: 90/10 polyester-stretch blend with UV50+ protection.
• Tigris Slamus Polo: polyester, Tencel and elastane jacquard.
• Polartec Delta and Polartec Power Shield across performance and rain pieces.
• 3D whole-garment knitting on merino and cashmere, which the brand says cuts waste.

Verdict: 8.0/10

Credible partner fabrics and some recycled content, docked for zero manufacturing transparency and no certifications.

Sun Day Red Customer Support

In the US, this is a straightforward premium service: free return labels and a 30-day window. UK buyers get a different deal, run through a third-party checkout partner, and it costs them.

Channels & Hours

• US phone line (800-444-4384), Monday to Friday on Pacific time, plus a web form. No live chat.
• UK orders are handled by ESW (eShopWorld), Sun Day Red's international checkout partner, through its own contact form.
• The help centre still says the brand only ships to the US and Canada, which contradicts the live UK store.

Policies

• US: 30 days from delivery, free prepaid FedEx label, unworn with tags attached. Exchanges must be the same category and the same price.
• UK: "A £40 return shipping fee applies to all UK returns", deducted from your refund.
• The UK terms give 14 days to start a return through the ESW portal, while the general policy says 30, so check before you rely on the longer window.
• Final sale and clearance items can't be returned.
• Refunds take 14–21 business days (another help article says 7–10).

Self-Serve

• UK orders ship within 5 business days and arrive 4–7 business days after that.
• Free UK delivery on orders over £200.
• A help centre covering returns, shipping and orders, though several articles are out of date for UK buyers.

Verdict: 5.8/10

Fine in America. From the UK, a £40 return fee, conflicting return windows and out-of-date help pages turn every order into a bet on your sizing.

What Are Sun Day Red's Review Ratings from Review Sites?

(As of October 2026)

• Trustpilot: 2.6 from just 4 reviews, all 1-star, on an unclaimed profile. One UK reviewer cites the £40 return fee. Too few reviews to mean much, but the complaint is the one we'd expect.
• On-site (Yotpo): 4.89/5 across 870 store reviews.
• Editorial: Today's Golfer gave the Presidio shoe 4.5/5 (June 2026), and Golf Monthly praised the Pioneer Cypress's build and outsole (May 2025).
• Community: At launch, the MyGolfSpy forum debate was dominated by the price and the logo, and neither argument has gone away.
• Credibility Signals: Co-founded by Tiger Woods with TaylorMade. PGA Tour player Karl Vilips signed in 2025, and Tommy Fleetwood wore the brand through 2026 as an apparel free agent. 526K Instagram followers. Puma has opposed the logo trademark and lost in Australia (2025) and Singapore (2026).

Synthesis:

People who own it rate it highly, and the specialist golf press likes the shoes. The arguments are about the price and the logo, and for UK buyers about returns, not about how the clothes are made.

Is Sun Day Red a Good Golf Brand?

Yes, Sun Day Red is a good golf brand, and a better one than its launch-week critics expected. The polo fits are thoughtful, the knitwear and rain gear are properly premium, and the shoes are the best thing it makes. For UK golfers the trade-offs are real: £105 polos, free delivery only over £200, no UK stockists, sizing that stops at 2XL, and £40 off every refund if something doesn't fit. If you want relaxed golf clothing from a UK brand with free UK delivery, Three Putt's golf tees and heavyweight hoodies cover the everyday, and Sun Day Red can wait for the special occasion.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sun Day Red

Who owns Sun Day Red?

Sun Day Red is a stand-alone business under TaylorMade, co-founded with Tiger Woods. Its legal entity, Sunday Red, LLC, names TaylorMade as its corporate parent. TaylorMade's own sale process was still unresolved in late September 2026.

Is Sun Day Red Tiger Woods' brand?

Yes. Tiger co-founded it with TaylorMade after his 27-year Nike partnership ended in January 2024. The brand was announced in Los Angeles in February 2024, the week of the Genesis Invitational, and went on sale on 1 May 2024.

What does the Sun Day Red logo mean?

The tiger is drawn with 15 stripes, one for each of Tiger's major championships. The name comes from the red shirt Tiger wears in final rounds, a habit he credits to his mother, who believed red was his power colour.

Can you buy Sun Day Red in the UK?

Yes, through Sun Day Red's own UK store (choose UK in the country selector), which prices in pounds and is run by its international checkout partner, ESW. As of October 2026 we couldn't find it at UK retailers such as American Golf or Selfridges.

Does Sun Day Red ship to the UK?

Yes. UK orders ship within 5 business days and arrive 4–7 business days later, with free delivery over £200. Returns cost £40, deducted from your refund.

Did Tommy Fleetwood sign with Sun Day Red?

Not as of September 2026. Fleetwood wore Sun Day Red pieces during 2026 after his Nike deal ended, but as an apparel free agent. Karl Vilips is the brand's only signed tour player besides Tiger.

How does Sun Day Red sizing run?

Polos come in three fits: Heritage (classic), Refined (2 inches narrower) and TW Performance (athletic). On-site reviewers say the Core Polo and the Pioneer Cypress shoe run slightly small. Polos stop at 2XL, and trousers come in 30–40 waists with 30" or 32" inside legs.

Is Sun Day Red good quality?

On the evidence, yes: 4.89/5 across 870 on-site reviews, 4.5/5 from Today's Golfer for the Presidio, and Polartec fabrics in the rain range. The complaints are about the price and the logo, not the construction.

What is Sun Day Red's return policy?

In the US, 30 days from delivery with a free return label. In the UK, £40 is deducted from your refund, and the UK terms give 14 days to start a return through the ESW portal. Final sale items can't be returned.
