Golf tournaments have become increasingly popular as a way for companies, schools, and non-profits to fundraise with annual events or to simply connect at a company outing. To create an experience for your golfers and set your tournament apart from the rest, make sure you plan ahead with golf giveaways and swag bags to give out at your event.
When golfers check in on the day of the event, giving out personalized golf gift sets not only shows your appreciation, but also leaves a lasting impression of your brand. You might also consider high-end gift sets for tournament and raffle winners. Check out these swag bag ideas for golf tournaments:
Golf Tournament Goodie Bags
Some of the best goodie bags for golf tournaments are those which contain items that golfers can use the day of the event, and for all their future golf outings. The Silver Golf Kit includes a divot tool, golf tees, and first-aid essentials packaged in a compact bag that features a carabiner to easily clip on golf bags.
Golf Swag Bags & Gift Sets
If you’re looking to impress clients at the tournament or have flexibility with your budget, consider high-end golf gift sets. Golf tournament swag bags and golf gift bags like the Platinum Golf Kit includes a variety of items to help you keep your focus on the game, including:
- Natrapel® insect repellent wipes
- Sunscreen
- First-aid basics
- Other golf essentials such as tees, ball markers and a divot tool
Or, opt for a name-brand gift set like Wilson® Ball & Tee Tube that includes 2 custom printed golf balls and 12 tees in your choice of color.
Create Your Own Custom Golf Kit or Swag Bag:
In addition to our kits and bundles, you also have the option to create a fully custom kit that includes any items of your choosing, assembled by Crestline. This gives you the ability to select items that fit the theme and spirit of your specific event. With endless possibilities in bundles you could create, check out these golf tournament swag bag ideas to get you started:
A golf shoe caddy like the Zippered Travel Shoe Bag makes for a nice swag bag as it’s something people wouldn’t typically buy for themselves, yet something they’ll use for years to come. Fill the bag with a golf tournament swag like a Waffle Golf Towel, 8 oz Mini Tumbler, or a Poker Chip Ball Marker.
Customized golf balls like the Volvik® Vivid or Wilson® Ultra 500s are small yet highly useful additions to any golf swag bag. Throw in a branded divot tool along with them!
Instead of a bag, consider filling a tumbler with custom golf swag that participants can use on the course during the event. Custom tees and other golf accessories like divot tools and ball makers are sure to come in handy. The Full Color Microfiber Cleaning Cloth is another favorite to include in golf tournament gift bags as they have a large imprint area where you could feature a picturesque view from the course or even the course map.
Custom printed golf umbrellas make the perfect golf gift for clients as they’re an item everyone needs but nobody ever buys for themselves. Customer favorites include the Ultra-Lite Golf Umbrella, Revolution Umbrella, and the 60 Arc Golf Umbrella, about which one customer raved, “These are a crowd-pleaser every year at our tournament. Sponsors "fight" over who'll get to be the logo on our umbrella giveaway.”
No matter what their beverage of choice, golfers are known to keep the beverages flowing throughout the day to keep their swing loose. Fill up a water bottle such as the 28 oz Trekker Tritan™ Bottle with giveaways like bottle openers and can coolers to keep their beverages cool during the golf outing.
For smaller swag bags, keep it simple by including golf course essentials. It can get hot and buggy on the course, so great swag bag items include:
- Bug spray or an Outdoor Essentials Kit
- Sunscreen
- Lip balm
- Snacks
- Custom round golf pencils
Don’t forget about golf apparel! The great thing about golf apparel, such as custom golf shirts, is that it's universal and is just as often worn off the course. Including golf polos and pullovers in your swag bags are popular choices because your recipients can wear them as corporate apparel in the office, as work-from-home attire, or on the go.
Consider some of the most popular golf apparel for your swag bags, including:
- T-shirts
- Athleisure items
- Rainwear
- Caps
- Visors
Here are a few more hot golf items to consider adding to your next swag bag:
Looking for a personal recommendation? Consider specs with a timeless chic, our Cruise Retro Sunglasses in woodgrain. “These sunglasses were the perfect addition to our golf scramble swag bags.” Or customize a sleek silver finish Ball Marking Divot Tool that gets our customers cheering, “Everyone so far has loved it!! They said it was made very well, and loved the heavier weight and that it had a clip.”
Golf Swag for Large Swag Bags
Golf swag bags come in all shapes and sizes. Send your attendees home with bigger items like a golf bag cooler, a dozen Titleist® Pro V1® golf balls, or a branded cell phone wallet.
You’ll also want to deck out your swag bag table to grab the crowd’s attention. Put up custom banners, and set up your swag bag table with custom-printed balloons and an imprinted table throw. You could even keep a steel ice bucket filled with adult beverages or soft drinks on your swag bag table.

Why Real Customers Are Loving These Golf Products from Koozie Group®:
A national golf association wanted a giveaway item for golfers in weekend tournaments and high school students considering golf at the collegiate level. The Golf Shoe Caddy was the perfect option because student golfers are often traveling and short on clean-up time after a round. The golf mesh shoe bags were distributed to players at weekend competitions to promote the game to younger generations and encourage continued interest in golf into adulthood.
A public golf course wanted to get more women involved in the sport. They developed a free eight-week clinic that met for a few hours every Tuesday night. Participants received instruction, practice time, use of clubs, and a swag bag with some golf-related gear, including the 13 oz Koozie® Triple Vacuum Tumbler. Following the clinic, the course tracked the new players for the rest of the season and discovered that 53% of them continued to play on their property. Plus, the course got so many comments on the Koozie® Tumbler, that they added it to their merch shop.
A country club had the opportunity to host a pro-level tournament but needed to close the course prior to the event for aeration. It was the prime golf season for the club, and they were concerned about upsetting members with the course closure. They included a Ball Marker Hat Clip (imprinted with a special commemorative logo), four grandstand tournament tickets, and vouchers for a nearby course with the closure notification letter.
Members were pleased with the package to make up for lost course time and the club received very few complaints. The hat clips were so popular that the club ordered additional quantities to sell during the tournament, and re-order annually with an updated special-edition imprint.
