If you're on a budget, a synthetic golf glove can be your friend. Cabretta leather golf gloves are usually on the more expensive side and aren't always the most durable. Golf gloves made from synthetic materials are not only cheaper gloves, but they often have more features and last a lot longer. They are also better in a range of weather conditions so you can be sure to have a good grip on the club rain or shine.

I've tried nearly every synthetic golf glove design there is so you don't have to and this is my list of the top 5 on the market today.

Best Synthetic Golf Glove 2024

  1. FootJoy WeatherSof golf glove (best synthetic golf glove)
  2. Callaway Weather Spann golf glove (best fitting glove)
  3. Wilson Feel Plus golf glove  (best budget option)
  4. Under Armour Medal golf glove (best for grip on the club)
  5. TaylorMade Stratus Tech golf glove (best for breathability)

FootJoy WeatherSof golf glove

Simply the best synthetic golf glove

Once again this glove tops another best of list. It's the perfect combination of price, functionality and durability, and these are all big factors when choosing a synthetic golf glove. I put a few of these in the bag at the beginning of a season and they will last for pretty much the whole golfing year, even in the hot and humid conditions that I am usually playing golf in.

Because they're made by FootJoy you know that you're getting high levels of quality control and also trusted fit options. The synthetic materials used in these gloves feel really good and you could be fooled into thinking it's a leather golf glove. You get consistent grip of the golf club and I've never been let down by one of these gloves on the golf course.

Simply the best golf glove made from synthetic materials you can buy. 

Pros

  • Excellent pricing 
  • Multiple fit options
  • High level of durability
  • Velcro enclosure is excellent
  • Quality synthetic materials

Cons

  • Only comes in white

Callaway Weather Spann golf glove

4 way stretch material for a perfect fit

The first time I tried on the Callaway Weather Spann glove, I was blown away by what a comfortable glove it was! It fits like a glove! This glove allows for all-weather performance by incorporating durable synthetic leather combined with a 4-way stretch synthetic.

It is a really good glove in the rain and it grips like a vice. The material is so thin that it feels like a premium golf glove made from soft leather. This does make me concerned that the overall durability might not be the greatest. I find that thinner gloves gets holes in the heel of the hand and thumb area faster. That being said, I used this glove for 4 rounds and didn't notice any quality issues.

The flexible knuckles add to the excellent feeling this glove provides and perforations across the glove give great breathability. Worth a try. 

Pros
  • Best fitting synthetic golf glove
  • Perforations for breathability
  • Sleek design
  • Good grip

Cons

  • Could wear quickly

Wilson Feel Plus golf glove

Bargain prices but always reliable

These Wilson gloves are so cheap, I had to include them in this list. Most synthetic golf gloves are pretty similar and come in at the same price point, so what are the noticeable differences with a glove that is that much cheaper?

The first thing you notice about the Wilson Feel Plus, is that it's not made from perfectly white synthetic material. This doesn't bother me in the slightest as my gloves get pretty discoloured from regular use, but it might bother people who only want to wear golf gloves which are pristinely white.

Of course, the colour doesn't affect the performance of the glove one bit. It's a perfectly functional glove and performs as expected in all conditions and provides good grip on the golf club. My main issue with cheaper synthetic gloves is that they can feel a bit "scratchy" inside. The synthetic leather they use doesn't alway have the smoothest finish on the underside and when they're new, there can be a lot of excess material. After a few uses this tends to go away but it's something I notice. For such a low price it's not going to stop me using these gloves, but I have to be honest about what I find when wearing these gloves. 

Pros
  • Super cheap
  • Very flexible with lycra in knuckles and fingers 
  • Good velcro

Cons

  • Discoloured material might put some off

Under Armour Medal golf glove

One of the grippiest gloves I've tried

If grip is what you looking for in a golf glove design, then look no further than the Under Armour Medal Glove. It's like velcro to a golf club! I like to give my driver a rip (probably when I shouldn't) and this glove gave me the performance and confidence to take aim and let fly.

As mentioned before, I play in hot and humid conditions, and grip is really important for me. The best golf gloves I've tried are all really grippy (the Hirzl golf gloves are some of the best for this) and you don't have to break the bank with a premium golf glove made from cabretta leather to get high levels of grip.

Looking at this golf glove, there's nothing on the palm which would make you think that it would perform like it does. On closer inspection, the surface of the palm is textured and this is what makes the synthetic material so grippy. Overall they look great and I like the 3 grey fingers, they actually help me make sure I' gripping the club correctly.

A really good golf glove. 

Pros
  • Great looking glove
  • Insane levels of grip
  • Really smooth synthetic leather

Cons

  • Might be too grippy for some!

TaylorMade Stratus Tech golf glove

Extremely breathable synthetic material in all conditions

The TaylorMade tour preferred glove is the best premium golf glove in my opinion, so how does their synthetic golf glove stack up against the competition?

The TaylorMade Stratus Tech Glove is constructed from premium synthetic material with leather palm and offers superior fit and durability in all weather conditions.

It features an engineered perforation which adds natural breathability whilst the stretch lycra panels provide an exceptional customised fit.

It's the breathability which made this glove stand out for me. It kept my hand cool and I didn't feel the need to take it off between shots which is something I only usually find with premium golf glove gloves. 

Pros
  • Looks and feels like a premium golf glove
  • Extremely breathable 
  • TaylorMade quality 

Cons

  • Slightly more expensive than other options 

Final Thoughts on Best Golf Synthetic Golf Glove

You don't need to break the bank to game a golf glove that will perform under all conditions. I stopped using premium leather gloves a long time ago and it hasn't impacted my game one bit. Synthetic gloves are here to stay and they should be in your bag now!
