Sun Day Red vs Three Putt: Tiger's Tour Wardrobe or UK Golf Streetwear
Updated on: October 2, 2026 • ~10 min read

We test golf apparel the way we play. Hard, social, and honest.
Tiger Woods' premium tour wardrobe against a Leeds streetwear label that sells four cotton garments. They rarely compete for the same money, and for UK golfers the buying terms matter as much as the clothes.
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 and Quick Pick
Sun Day Red is Tiger Woods and TaylorMade's premium golf brand, launched in 2024: polos, knitwear, Polartec rainwear, trousers and golf shoes, priced in pounds on its UK store. Three Putt is a Leeds golf streetwear brand selling tees, long-sleeves, sweatshirts and hoodies from £23.99. Sun Day Red dresses the round; Three Putt dresses the hours around it.
Best for on-course kit, dress codes and golf shoes: Sun Day Red. Three named polo fits, Polartec rain gear and golf shoes the UK golf press rates highly. Expect £105–£132 for a polo, free UK delivery only over £200, and £40 off every UK refund.
Best for golf style off the course on a budget: Three Putt. Heavyweight graphic tees and hoodies from £23.99 to £51.99, priced in pounds with free UK delivery. It is casual cotton wear, not technical kit.

Brand Overview
Three Putt Golf
Three Putt is a UK golf streetwear brand based in Leeds. The range is deliberately narrow: tees, long-sleeve tees, sweatshirts and hoodies.
Each comes in six graphic designs: Contours, Happy Place, Tee Time, Reckless Driving, The Scenic Route and Three on the Green. The idea is golf culture you can wear anywhere, not a full on-course wardrobe.
That brings honest limits. There are no polos, trousers, shorts, outerwear, waterproofs or caps, and no women's-specific line. If your club has a collared-shirt dress code, you will need a polo from elsewhere.
Sun Day Red
Sun Day Red is the golf brand Tiger Woods co-founded with TaylorMade after his 27-year Nike partnership ended in January 2024. It went on sale on 1 May 2024. The name comes from the red shirt Tiger wears in final rounds, and the tiger logo has 15 stripes, one for each of his majors.
Two years in, it is already a full golf wardrobe, with a women's collection but no junior range.
For UK golfers, the route in is narrow. Pick United Kingdom in the country selector and you get a UK store priced in pounds, run by its checkout partner, ESW. American Golf, Function18 and GolfOnline didn't stock it in October 2026.
Key Features and Fabrics
Three Putt Golf
- Tees: 100% cotton, 260gsm, relaxed fit, S–3XL, five colourways per design.
- Long-sleeve tees: 280gsm, 85% cotton / 15% polyester, loose drop-shoulder fit, S–2XL.
- Sweatshirts: 400gsm cotton crewneck, regular fit, S–2XL.
- Hoodies: 430gsm, 56% cotton / 44% polyester, oversized drop-shoulder fit, S–2XL, four colourways per design.
These are heavyweight casual garments, not technical performance wear. Do not expect moisture-wicking, stretch fabric or weather protection.
Sun Day Red
- Polos: the polo range is the heart of the brand. The Core Polo is 96% polyester and 4% elastane at 190gsm, and the Crosswind adds UV50+ protection.
- Knitwear and midlayers: the Magnolia quarter zip is the on-course layer. Merino and cashmere pieces use 3D whole-garment knitting.
- Trousers and shorts: the Dynam II pant and short use 68% recycled polyester. The Jupiter five-pocket pant uses a Japanese four-way stretch fabric.
- Outerwear: the 3L rain jacket, wind/rain half zip and rain vest use Polartec Power Shield, and insulated grid jackets and vests cover cold rounds.
- Golf shoes: the Pioneer line sits at the top, with the spikeless Presidio and the Osprey below it. Today's Golfer gave the Presidio 4.5/5, and Golf Monthly praised the Pioneer Cypress's build and outsole.
This is proper on-course kit, built on named partner fabrics. Choosing between shoe styles? See our guide to spike vs spikeless golf shoes.

| Tees and polos | Tees £23.99–£29.99 | Pima cotton tees £52.90; polos £104.88–£132.24 |
| Long sleeves | Long-sleeve tees £27.99–£32.99 | Long Sleeve Icon T-Shirt £62.02; long-sleeve polos £123.12 |

Sun Day Red prices are full prices on its UK store in October 2026. Most polos sit at £104.88–£123.12, and the Cardinal polo is £132.24. Free UK delivery starts at £200, so a single polo won't reach it.
Price Verdict
Three Putt is far cheaper for what it sells. Three Putt's dearest hoodie, at £51.99, costs less than half of Sun Day Red's cheapest full-price polo. Sun Day Red's Icon Chain Stitch hoodie costs nearly three Three Putt hoodies.
Sun Day Red is priced as the luxury label it is, paying for technical fabrics and the Tiger name. For casual style, Three Putt wins on value; for premium on-course kit, Sun Day Red sells things Three Putt doesn't make.
Fit and Sizing
Three Putt Golf
Three Putt sizes run S–3XL on tees and S–2XL on everything else. Tees have a relaxed fit, long-sleeves a loose drop shoulder and sweatshirts a regular fit. Hoodies are oversized with a drop shoulder, so size down if you want a closer look.
Sun Day Red
Sun Day Red is one of the few golf brands that names its polo fits and lets you choose. Heritage is the classic, roomier cut. Refined is 2 inches narrower than Heritage, and TW Performance is the athletic, most tapered fit. Each product page names its fit.
The size range is narrower than the choice of fits. Men's polos and the 3L rain jacket run S–2XL, hoodies and crews XS–2XL, and there are no talls. Trousers come in 30–40 waists with 30" or 32" inside legs only. Women's apparel runs XS–XL.
On-site reviewers say the Core Polo runs small, so size up if you're between sizes.
Fit Verdict
Sun Day Red wins on golf-specific cut and choice: three polo fits, golf trousers and a women's range. Three Putt goes bigger, with tees to 3XL, and its relaxed and oversized cuts are simpler to get right. With £40 off every UK refund, measure carefully before you order Sun Day Red.
Style and Versatility
Three Putt Golf
Three Putt is golf streetwear: golf-themed graphics on heavyweight fabric, cut in relaxed and oversized shapes. A hoodie works for a casual range session, the pub after a round or a weekend layer. It is not the right shirt for a members' competition at a traditional club, so check your golf dress code first.
Sun Day Red
Sun Day Red looks tour-polished and quietly premium, with the tiger logo doing most of the talking. Its polos, quarter zips and trousers suit even a traditional club.
It also makes clothes for after the round: Pima cotton tees from £52.90, the Icon Chain Stitch hoodie, crew and jogger, and merino and cashmere knits. They look smart, but the logo is always the point, and it still splits opinion.
Style Verdict
Sun Day Red dresses the round, from a summer medal to a frosty winter fourball. Three Putt dresses everything around it, from the car park to the bar, for far less. A Sun Day Red polo on the course and a Three Putt hoodie after it is a sensible split.
Quality, Durability and Sustainability
Three Putt Golf
Three Putt's quality story is weight. Tees are 260gsm cotton, long-sleeves 280gsm, sweatshirts 400gsm and hoodies 430gsm. On sustainability, Three Putt makes no recycled-content or eco claims. Its tees are 100% cotton.
Sun Day Red
Sun Day Red's quality case rests on partner fabrics and strong owner ratings: 4.89/5 across 870 on-site reviews in October 2026. The complaints are mostly about the price and the logo, not the construction. For other rain gear, see our guide to the best waterproof golf clothing.
On sustainability, there is some recycled content: 68% recycled polyester in the Dynam II trousers and shorts, and 87% recycled nylon in the women's Icon polo. The brand says its 3D whole-garment knitting cuts waste. It makes no OEKO-TEX, bluesign or GOTS claims, and product pages give the origin only as "Imported".
Quality Verdict
Sun Day Red wins on technical construction, and nothing in the Three Putt range is built for weather. Three Putt wins on heavyweight cotton at a low price. On sustainability, Sun Day Red's recycled content gives it a narrow edge, though neither brand names a certification.
Customer Support and Returns
Three Putt Golf
Delivery is free across the UK. Returns are accepted within 14 days of delivery. Email support@threeputtgolfclothing.co.uk first, and note that you pay the return postage. Support is by email.
Sun Day Red
Sun Day Red's service is built around American buyers. UK orders go through ESW on different terms. In October 2026, a UK buyer faced these:
- Delivery: free on orders over £200. Sun Day Red's UK purchase terms say in-stock orders ship within 5 business days and typically arrive 4–7 business days later.
- Returns: the UK purchase terms give 14 days from receipt to start a return through ESW's portal, then 14 days to send it. Items must be new, with tags attached.
- The £40 fee: Sun Day Red's returns policy says "A £40 return shipping fee applies to all UK returns". It is deducted from your refund.
- No exchanges: the UK terms say there is no exchange policy, so a wrong size means a return and a new order.
- Final sale: final sale and clearance items can't be returned.
- Mixed messages: the help centre's general policy (30 days, free FedEx label) is written for US buyers, and another help article still says the brand ships only to the US and Canada.
- Contact: ESW's contact form for orders, the help centre for everything else, and a US phone line (800-444-4384) on Pacific time. There's no live chat.
Support Verdict
Three Putt is simpler from the UK: prices in pounds, free delivery on every order and email support. Both give 14 days and leave the return cost with you, but Sun Day Red's is a flat £40 taken from your refund, with no exchanges. Every order becomes a bet on your sizing.
Our Pick
Buy Sun Day Red if you want Tiger's tour wardrobe and will wear it on the course. Its polos come in three fits, its Polartec rain gear handles a British winter, and its golf shoes earn strong reviews. Go in knowing the terms: £105–£132 polos, free delivery only over £200, sizes that stop at 2XL, no exchanges and £40 off every UK refund.
Buy Three Putt for golf style off the course and on relaxed dry days, priced in pounds with free UK delivery. Heavyweight tees from £23.99 and hoodies under £52 cover the walk to the first tee and the pub after. A sweatshirt or long-sleeve tee rounds it out. You will still need a collared polo from elsewhere if your club requires one.
Plenty of golfers will own both. For more US labels, see our guide to American golf brands.

Frequently Asked Questions About Three Putt vs Sun Day Red
Is Three Putt a good alternative to Sun Day Red?
For off-course style, yes; for the course, only partly. Three Putt sells heavyweight tees, long-sleeves, sweatshirts and hoodies from £23.99 with free UK delivery. The range has no polos, trousers, waterproofs or golf shoes, so it can't replace Sun Day Red's on-course kit.
Can you buy Sun Day Red in the UK?
Yes, through Sun Day Red's own website. Choose United Kingdom in the country selector and the store prices in pounds, with orders handled by its checkout partner, ESW. Delivery is free over £200, and £40 comes off every UK refund. UK golf retailers such as American Golf didn't stock it in October 2026.
Which is better on the course?
Sun Day Red, clearly. Its polos come in three named fits and meet any dress code. Its rain gear uses Polartec Power Shield, and the UK golf press rates its shoes. Three Putt's cotton tees and hoodies suit a relaxed round on a dry day, with no weather protection.
Which is better value?
For casual golf style, Three Putt: the whole range sits between £23.99 and £51.99, with free UK delivery. Sun Day Red charges £104.88–£132.24 for a polo and £145.92 for its Icon Chain Stitch hoodie. The £40 UK return fee also hits any order that doesn't fit.
Is Three Putt good quality?
Three Putt's quality case rests on fabric weight. Tees are 260gsm 100% cotton, sweatshirts 400gsm cotton and hoodies 430gsm cotton/polyester. That is substantial for casual wear at £23.99–£51.99. It is not technical kit, though: there is no wicking, stretch or weather protection, which is where Sun Day Red earns its price.
How do the fits differ?
Sun Day Red offers three polo fits: Heritage (classic), Refined (2 inches narrower) and TW Performance (athletic). Men's polos stop at 2XL, and trousers come in 30–40 waists with 30" or 32" inside legs. Three Putt's cuts are roomier, from relaxed tees to oversized hoodies, in S–3XL for tees and S–2XL for the rest.
Are Sun Day Red and Three Putt sustainable?
Sun Day Red has a little more to show. Its Dynam II trousers and shorts use 68% recycled polyester, and it says its 3D knitting cuts waste. It names no certifications and gives the origin only as "Imported". Three Putt makes no recycled-content or eco claims. Its tees are 100% cotton.
Which has better returns for UK buyers?
Three Putt, though neither is generous. Both give 14 days, and you pay to send items back. Three Putt asks you to email support first. Sun Day Red deducts a flat £40 from every UK refund, and its UK terms offer no exchanges, so a wrong size means a return and a new order.
