7 Best Swag Golf Alternatives in 2026 | Ranked

Updated on: October 28, 2026

Author: Graeme

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

Like Swag Golf's loud prints but not its prices before VAT and final-sale drops? These seven picks for UK golfers in 2026 keep the personality, from skull headcovers sold in pounds to bold polos in bigger sizes.

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.

Top Picks

1. Pins & Aces: Our top pick, for print polos and skull headcovers sold in pounds
2. Bad Birdie: Best for loud performance polos with duties included
3. Three Putt Golf: Best for golf streetwear from a UK brand
4. Breezy Golf: Best for bigger sizes with UK stock
5. Waggle Golf: Best for family sizing and flat-rate shipping
6. Public Drip: Best for streetwear-style golf polos with duties paid at checkout
7. Barstool Golf: Best for Fore Play fans

Why People Look Beyond Swag Golf

Swag's clothes are the harder part to buy from the UK. Its UK prices are shown before VAT, its policy pages publish no UK delivery rate, and its limited drops are final sale. Its current clothing line is also new: Swag launched what it calls its first apparel collection in June 2026.

The headcovers are another story.

Swag made its name on collectable putter covers, and Bryson DeChambeau signed with the brand in April 2026.

However, if you want loud golf clothes that are easier to buy and size from Britain, these brands are worth a look. Our Swag Golf review covers the brand itself in detail.

How I Tested

I've tested every brand on this list.

Swag is all about personality, so I started with the designs. Then I looked at what matters once you've fallen for a print: fit, size range, and the real cost of getting it to a UK address and sending it back. Prices are full prices, checked in October 2026.

Detailed Breakdown by Brand

Pins & Aces: Our top pick, for print polos and skull headcovers sold in pounds

Available on: pinsandaces.co.uk · Read our full Pins & Aces review

Key Features:

• Headcovers: The Joker blade putter cover at £39 and the Mustache Sugar Skull driver cover at £49 to £59, depending on colour
• Print polos: £49, such as the White Spades Polo Shirt, with four-way stretch and a built-in sunglasses holder
• Performance Golf Hoodie: £69, lightweight and stretchy, with a printed hood
• Licensed designs: Its US parent runs collaborations with names such as DC Comics, Yellowstone and NASA

Pros:

• Sold in pounds: The official UK distributor's prices include taxes
• Sizes: Men's polos run S to 3XL, with a 49 to 51-inch chest in the 3XL
• Cheaper polos: £49, against £69 before VAT for Swag's classic polo

Cons:

• Delivery: Free on orders over £100
• Returns: You pay the postage, and no return window is stated
• Mixed reviews: The US store scores 4.9 out of 5 from 185 Trustpilot reviews, but the UK distributor's own page shows 3.8 from 12

Verdict:

Pins & Aces is the closest brand on this list to Swag's world of skull and print headcovers, and you can buy it in pounds, with tax included. Its £49 polos cost less than Swag's too.

Bad Birdie: Best for loud performance polos with duties included

Available on: badbirdiegolf.com · Read our full Bad Birdie review

Key Features:

• Paint Splatter 3 Core Performance Polo: £91, in 88% polyester and 12% spandex with four-way stretch, UPF 50 and an anti-odour finish
• Performance Mock Neck: £71
• Velocity Hoodie: £115
• Bad Tee: £40, the cheapest top

Pros:

• Duties included: UK orders include duties at checkout
• Sizes: Men's polos run S to 3XL, which its chart gives as a 49 to 51-inch chest, and women's XS to XL
• Customers love the polo: 4.9 out of 5 from 5,017 reviews on its own site

Cons:

• Price: £91 for a polo and £115 for a hoodie
• Returns: The help centre limits free returns and exchanges to domestic orders, and the 45 days run from purchase
• Thin Trustpilot record: 2.5 out of 5 from just 7 reviews

Verdict:

Bad Birdie is a close match for Swag's loud polos, with duties included at checkout and sizes to 3XL. You'll pay more than Swag's £69 sticker price, which excludes VAT, but Bad Birdie's checkout total includes duties and taxes.

Three Putt Golf: Best for golf streetwear from a UK brand

Available on: threeputtgolfclothing.co.uk

Key Features:

• Graphic designs: Original golf graphics, such as Reckless Driving and The Scenic Route, across tees, sweatshirts and hoodies, plus plain Three on the Green basics

• Returns: 14 days, with return postage paid by you, and no exchanges

Verdict:

Three Putt shares Swag's sense of humour in its golf graphics, with free UK delivery on every order. It doesn't do headcovers, so it's the pick for the clothes, not the bag.

Breezy Golf: Best for bigger sizes with UK stock

• Places to try it: UK stockists listed by Cloud 18 include The Fairway Lounge in Ashton-under-Lyne and Wortley Golf Club in Sheffield

Cons:

• Men only: We found no women's range
• Returns: 30 days, but the policy doesn't say who pays return postage
• Thin Trustpilot record: Just one review, though Cloud 18's own site shows 4.98 out of 5 from 53 shop reviews

Verdict:

Breezy brings Swag-style colour to bigger golfers, with most polos up to 4XL at Cloud 18 and quick Royal Mail delivery.

• Duties: Orders over $200 may carry extra taxes and duties
• A niche look: Hunting and fishing prints aren't for everyone

Verdict:

Waggle is the family pick, with fun prints, family sizes and flat $9.99 shipping to the UK. Its American outdoor themes are an acquired taste.

Frequently Asked Questions About Swag Golf

What is Swag Golf known for?

Collectable putter headcovers and putters. Swag was founded in Illinois in 2018 by Nick Venson, who spent nine years at the putter maker Bettinardi first. It launched what it calls its first apparel collection in June 2026, and Bryson DeChambeau signed with the brand in April 2026.

Can you buy Swag Golf clothing in the UK?

Yes, from its US online store, which shows UK visitors prices in pounds. However, those prices exclude VAT, which Swag says is charged at checkout if applicable, and its policy pages give no UK delivery rate. Limited drops are also final sale, so check the size chart carefully before you buy.

What brands are similar to Swag Golf?

For headcovers and print polos, Pins & Aces is the closest on this list, and it sells in pounds through an official UK distributor. Bad Birdie makes similarly loud polos, Breezy Golf and Waggle Golf bring colourful prints at lower prices, and Public Drip and Barstool Golf lean further into streetwear and fan culture.

Which Swag alternative sells headcovers in the UK?

Pins & Aces, whose official UK distributor lists dozens of headcovers in pounds, such as the Joker blade putter cover at £39 and the Mustache Sugar Skull driver cover at £49 to £59. Prices include taxes, and delivery is free on orders over £100. You pay the postage if you return anything.

Which Swag alternative is best for bigger golfers?

Breezy Golf, whose American Geo Polo runs from S to 4XL at its UK distributor, Cloud 18, with some pieces up to 5XL on its US store. Bad Birdie, Pins & Aces, Waggle, Public Drip, Barstool and Three Putt all make polos up to 3XL. Labels mislead, though: Swag's classic polo in XXL measures about 52.5 inches round the chest, more than Three Putt's Pin High 3XL at about 50.

Which Swag alternatives include duties at checkout?

Bad Birdie, Public Drip and Barstool Golf all include or collect duties at checkout for UK orders, so there's no extra bill on delivery. Pins & Aces and Breezy Golf sell through UK distributors in pounds, so UK buyers pay no import charges. Swag's own UK prices exclude VAT.

Is Bad Birdie better than Swag Golf?

For clothing, it's the safer buy from Britain. Bad Birdie includes duties at checkout, makes polos up to 3XL and offers a 45-day returns window from purchase, and its core polo scores 4.9 out of 5 from 5,017 reviews on its site. However, its £91 polo costs more than Swag's £69 sticker price before VAT.

Can you return Swag Golf clothing?

Core items, clothing and Rewind Golf items can go back within 30 days of receipt if they're new and unused, but you pay return shipping unless you added Checkout+ when ordering. Limited-release, pre-order, customised and marked-down items are final sale, which is a big catch for its drop pieces.
