Socks used to be the last thing you thought about before a round. White tube, pulled up or pushed down, never once considered. That era is over. A wave of indie golf brands has turned the sock into one of the most expressive pieces in the bag — Japanese-made cotton from Sentinel Golf, Drake's argyle from OVO, and desert cactus prints from a brand called Del Campo that launched as a socks-first golf company.
This is 15 picks from 15 brands. The range runs from the $16 Metalwood Studio Oval Logo Crew to the $39 Whim Golf Featherweight Merino, knit from USA-grown wool in North Carolina. In between: ALD Golf's performance ankle that sells out in minutes, Sugarloaf Social Club's Made-in-USA arrow socks, and Gumtree Golf's mismatched Flora & Fauna prints. Crew socks, ankle socks, bold patterns, quiet logos — every style, every price tier, all from brands doing their own thing.
