GolfWRX’s 2025 Father’s Day Gift Guide
A reminder from your friends at GolfWRX: Father’s Day is June 15. And as we do every year, we’re rounding up the best gifts for dad.
Our staff has created a list of the coolest Father’s Day golf gifts on the planet, each of which has been rigorously tested and approved by our equipment-obsessed staff. To make things even easier, we’ve included links below to buy these products, which means you’re just a few clicks away from making Dad the best-geared guy in his foursome.
But as we say every year: There’s no better golf-related Father’s Day gift than a round of golf with pops. Be it a country club or your favorite muni, take the time to get together to play 18, if you can.
With that said, let’s get to the gifts.
Bettinardi’s Antidote Zero Torque Series and Queen B Series putters

Not only will Dad love the signature aesthetics of Bettinardi’s beautiful flatsticks, but the Antidote line offers him an incredible-looking zero-torque option to help him hole more putts.
Bettinardi says: The Bettinardi Antidote putter series is a masterpiece of precision and innovation. Engineered with Simply Balanced Technology, it ensures a torque-free stroke, offering unrivaled consistency on the greens. Crafted with Bettinardi’s iconic design and legendary feel, the Antidote putter embodies the perfect fusion of elegance, control, and performance. Elevate your game to the highest standard of excellence and experience putting redefined. Simplify your stroke with the Antidote.
Since the Queen B Series’ initial inception, its aesthetic charm, superior performance, and heavier head weights have won the loyalty of golfers around the globe. Now, our new 2025-2026 Queen B Series ascends to the throne, featuring improved Centers of Gravity, more naturally positioned sweet spots, and head shapes that maximize MOI and prioritize framing. The Mini Honeycomb face milling provides the player with supreme haptic feedback on every putt, and the head shapes and face milling are enhanced by our new Royal Rose PVD, a hue that distinguishes the Queen B from any other putter on the green. Rule the Green with the new Queen B Series.

Pinned Golf’s The Caddie – $450

If your father likes technology, or is looking for a simple way to get his yardages and view the hole he’s playing, you have to consider Pinned’s latest innovation.
Pinned says: Awarded “best new product” at the 2025 PGA Merchandise Show, The Caddie is a portable GPS tablet designed specifically for golf. Instead of waiting for courses to invest in expensive cart systems, golfers can now bring their own high-tech Caddie, complete with a heavy-duty magnet that securely attaches to the golf cart. This device provides instant yardages, identifies hazards, keeps your score and gives a 360-degree view of each hole at any of the 45,000 courses it has pre-installed. Plus, it’s outfitted with an ultra-bright screen, weatherproof casing and a built-in magnet.
Fiberbuilt Double-Hitting Hourglass Pro mats – 45% off

We’ve recommended Fiberbuilt’s mats before as they’re absolutely top-notch, but with a deep discount for Father’s Day, they’re no-brainers now at $579 (MSRP $1,049).
Fiberbuilt says: For a limited time, the Fiberbuilt Grass Series Hourglass Pro Mat is on sale for 45% off our standard prices. This incredible mat delivers the same industry-leading levels of durability, performance and injury prevention that are experienced in our larger Fiberbuilt Grass Studio Mats, but in a smaller, mobile footprint. Available in a double-hitting configuration, it includes two Fiberbuilt Grass hitting panels to accommodate both right- and left-handed players without having to rotate the mat. The mat is built on a modular rubber base that allows for quick, tool-free setup and lets you move or stow it away when you’re not using it. The grooves in the molded base accommodate the included rods to guide alignment and clubhead path. The system also includes a 50+ capacity ball tray to add even more utility and value to this incredible deal.
Titleist Pro V1/ProV1x golf balls – $55/dozen

The No. 1 ball in golf. The most widely played on the PGA Tour by a wide margin. With best-in-class performance, Dad will feel like a pro when you hand him a dozen “Pro V’s.”
Cobra Darkspeed X driver – $299

Just a great all-purpose driver for Dad. We’re assuming he’s not a 25-year-old tour pro, so he’ll appreciate the extra forgiveness of this badass-looking driver. Great deals on both new and used models at 2nd Swing.
Galvin Green Larry jacket – $199

We saw this down at the PGA Show and were blown away that it is fully windproof! The Larry jacket is so thin, flexible, and lightweight that it doesn’t look like it does this much. The Interface-1 fabric is polyester with a PU membrane and not only is 100 percent windproof, but it also repels water. We also love the stretch that is built into Galvin Green clothing because it doesn’t have any restrictions on your swing.
Ping G430 Max fairway wood – from $267

Whether Dad needs an off-the-tee alternative or something he can elevate from the fairway, the Ping G430 is a tremendous option (and was a top performer in GolfWRX’s 2024 Best Fairway Wood)
Asics Gel-Kayano Ace 2 golf shoes – $170

Our Brian Knudson says: Flat out, the most comfortable golf shoes I have ever worn. Just as Asics is known for comfortable running shoes, the Gel-Kayano Ace 2 has great cushioning that makes walking 9, 18, 0r even 36 easy on your feet. But Asics didn’t forget about traction, stability, or keeping water out. The outsole has aggressive lugs that don’t slip, even when it is wet out or you are in a bunker. Now these aren’t fully waterproof but they are water-resistant and I have never had wet feet playing in the early morning dew.
Golf Pride MCC grips – $11.99

If your dad is ours and plays a lot of golf, then he might need some new grips for this summer. Golf Pride’s MCC grip features a firmer rubber with a Brushed cotton cord in the upper hand for stability and traction while the lower hand is made up of a softer compound for better feel and feedback. It is the #1 hybrid grip in golf and seen out on tour every week. Plus the MCC is offered in plenty of colors to fit dad’s style or match his favorite team.
SuperSpeed Swing Training System – $199.99

Whatever his age, Dad wants to hit the ball farther. At the professional and amateur levels, speed is the name of the game in golf these days, and SuperSpeed is the standard for training. Give the gift of speed with the #1 overspeed training system in golf. SuperSpeed is used by over 700 tour players, and you’ve no doubt seen their signature sticks in many of our tour photos.
Sun Day Red’s Pioneer Cypress golf shoes – $250

One of the slickest golf shoes on the market, loaded with premium details and Tiger’s unique new logo. The shoe’s 6mm heel to toe drop, delivers on its promise to provide every golfer to leverage the power of ground force, while its fully grain waterproof leather offers maximum durability. If your father is a Tiger fan and loves a shoe that offers a modern yet super clean look, then the Sun Day Red Pioneer Cypress shoes will surely impress.
Big Max Golf’s Dri Lite Hybrid Tour 2 bag – $279

Offering more storage, a refined design, and premium materials, as well as the brand’s signature hybrid technology and water-resistant construction, the Dri Lite Hybrid Tour 2 is a golf bag that has it all and one that impressed here at WRX HQ. Coming in six different color schemes, the bag delivers a modern and sleek look, and if you can hold out until June, the company is offering 20% off the bag when bought between June 1st-8th.
The Golfer’s Journal – $75/year

Does Dad subscribe to The Golfer’s Journal? If you’re buying a gift for your golf-loving father, TGJ is the perfect pick for superb reading material, and best-in-the-golf-media photography. As a bonus, when situated as a coffee table adornment, it signals your aesthetic sensibilities are as high as your appreciation for our maddening game!
Puma Ignite NXT Lace golf shoe – $34.99

Puma’s Ignite NXT keeps going strong. It’s still a best-seller over at our friends 2nd Swing. Tremendous value in a previous generation shoe that’s sub-$40 and still widely worn.

Slab city on the Korn Ferry Tour — Lead Tape Report
This week, we have our Tour Photographer, Greg Moore, on the ground at the OccuNet Classic at Tascosa Golf Club in Amarillo, Texas, for the 14th event of the 2026 Korn Ferry Tour season. With that, we see some great things in the Lead Tape Report as we roll into Amarillo.
Joel Thelen
Monday Qualifier, Joel Thelen is in the field this week. He has played on the Korn Ferry Tour for a full season in 2023, and he is back in action this week. A couple of clubs caught my eye this week in his bag.
First off: His trusted Titleist 816 H2 hybrid. This club came out in October of 2015, and it still remains strong in the bag. Also, take a look at this Odyssey White Hot OG 7, putting a capital S in the 7S model. This custom neck has some impressive lean for an arm-lock-style putter. The bottom of the putter is covered in tape for optimal weighting.





Mitchell Meissner
Taking a look at Mitchell Meissner’s bag this week, we have some great lead tape coverage. Top to bottom working from fairway metals, irons, and wedges. We can see on the short irons and wedges that there is tape at the base of the grip, adding a little counterbalance. Along with that, some tape on the short irons and wedges as well. Moving to his putter, he rolls the Odyssey 7 Bird putter. Meissner putts left-handed and strikes the ball right-handed.

- macedan: “Started with a hand-me-down Golden Bear set from my brother when I was in high school, never really played more than once a year or got into the game until about summer of 2017. First purchased a set of Cleveland CG4’s (I actually really miss this set sometimes, soft & not terribly large for a GI iron), moved into Nike Vapor Fly’s by the end of the year. Those lasted until spring of 18 when I decided I wanted new, so I traded them in for TM Rbladez. Honestly, although I liked the Rbladez, poor decision on my part, I think this was really about the only time so far that after a week or two I was kicking myself for not staying with what I had. Rbladez stayed with me until late last summer when I switched to P790’s and (knock on wood) I am hoping this will be my longest lasting set.”
