The Story

Nike was a newcomer to golf in the mid-90s. Within a few years of signing some of the game’s brightest young players, Nike Golf went from an outsider to one of the most recognizable names on tour.

The look of the era is unmistakable: early Dri-FIT polos and mock necks, a single swoosh on the chest, and bold final-round reds. Plenty of amateurs dressed the same way, which is why so much of it still turns up today.

Pieces from roughly 1996 to 2006 are the ones collectors look for. The tag is the giveaway — look for the Nike Golf label, the fabric content and the country of manufacture, all of which we photograph on every listing.
