Top Budget Pick
The golf shoe that golfers are calling “very comfortable” and “easy to walk in” just got even cheaper.
Skechers dominates the budget golf shoe game, and their Elite Vortex may just be their best ever. This spiked shoe is extremely comfortable and has fantastic traction.
Engineered for Golfers
The GO GOLF Elite Vortex isn’t just another golf shoe – it’s a carefully crafted piece of equipment designed specifically for the unique demands of the golf swing. The waterproof synthetic upper ensures your feet stay dry even in wet morning conditions or unexpected rain showers.
Revolutionary Arch Support
This removable insole provides podiatrist-certified arch support that helps distribute weight evenly across the foot. For golfers who spend hours on their feet navigating varied terrain, this translates to reduced fatigue and enhanced comfort throughout your entire round.
Superior Traction When It Matters
The GO GOLF Elite Vortex comes equipped with replaceable spikes that deliver exceptional grip on any course condition. Whether you’re driving from the tee box or making that crucial putt, these shoes keep you firmly planted for consistent, powerful shots.

Golf clubs are designed with varying lengths to optimize performance across different types of shots. Understanding the rationale behind these differences can enhance your game and inform your equipment choices.
The purpose of varying club lengths
Think of a set of golf clubs like a toolbox.
Each golf club is a tool engineered for specific tasks on the course. Longer clubs, like drivers, are built to maximize distance while shorter clubs, such as wedges, offer greater control and precision.
The variation in length, combined with differences in loft and clubhead design, allows golfers to execute a wide range of shots.
Standard golf club lengths
Golf clubs—unless custom ordered—are typically built to standard lengths by the manufacturer. If you’re taller or shorter than average, these standard lengths may not be ideal for you.

For years, you’ve longed to be a member of a golf club. You’re eager to learn more, get better (fast) and stay up to date on golf’s latest and greatest equipment.
But like that shiny new driver you’ve been eyeing, joining the local track and enjoying all the membership perks that come along with it is just not in the budget.
Gotta pay for the kid’s college somehow, right?
Golf is only getting more expensive. Fees and dues are otherworldly and the common golfer like you and me often feel left out and outpriced. It’s one of the more frustrating things about a game that’s already infuriating. (I still love you, golf!)
So when I had the chance to learn more about what PGA TOUR Superstore is doing to provide the everyday golfer with a club-like membership experience, my ears perked up.
We tested nearly 50 spiked and spikeless golf shoes in 2025. Some shoes delivered top-tier performance in terms of comfort, traction and stability, others fell short.
Here’s a closer look at the best versus the worst from each category.
Spikeless: Payntr All Day SC versus Duca Del Cosma Churchill
In testing, the Payntr All Day SC set the bar by feeling more like a running shoe than a golf shoe. Its PMX Nitro+ midsole scored a 44.55/50 in comfort. Testers repeatedly noted that they could play 36 holes without their feet hurting.
The traction was nearly perfect for the All Day SC and rivaled that of a spiked golf shoe. Stability and weather protection (elements) were also strong, leading to a total score of 98, highest in the test.
Duca Del Cosma’s Churchill was the worst spikeless shoe we tested in 2025. It’s made with premium Italian Nappa leather but from an overall comfort standpoint, the Churchill cannot compete.
When it comes to all things wedges, most reasonable people can agree that Titleist’s Bob Vokey is the chairman of the board.
Last summer, MyGolfSpy’s Rick Young asked Vokey where he thought the future of wedges would go.
“We’re always looking at new materials,” said Vokey. “But, honestly, nothing has come along yet that can replace 8620 carbon steel. It’s castable, it lasts, you can grind it … We stay with it because it ain’t broke.”
When Boeing Smith, a PhD-level metallurgist who admits to a lifelong Everest-size chip on his shoulder, read that, all he could do was just smile.
He was, after all, in the process of replacing the irreplaceable and breaking what wasn’t broken.
I’m of the opinion that Johnnie-O is one of the more underrated (and understated) apparel brands in golf. They don’t get nearly the amount of love they deserve, and fly under the radar compared to the ever-growing list of brands built on brash designs and streetwear culture.
But the brand built on the iconic four-button polo is here and thriving. To commemorate their 20th anniversary, Johnnie-O is launching a special collection that includes a unique partnership with SWAG Golf.
The collection is headlined by the return of Johnnie-O’s classic four button pocket polo. Made of 100-percent cotton, these buttery soft polos feature the signature surfer logo and chest pocket. The 20th anniversary Original 4-Button 100% Cotton Polo is available in four unique colors; Vista Blue, Spearmint, Cubbie Blue and Watermelon (my favorite).
As mentioned, Johnnie-O teamed up with SWAG Golf to create some custom headcovers inspired by the OG Johnnie-O polo. Yes, they’re pretty darn cool.
The 20th anniversary marks a new season for the brand, with plans to introduce new offerings as the year rolls along. These include an eyewear line, elevated headwear and continued partnerships with content creators like St. Andre and Peter Finch.
Last week, Grant Horvat posted a tweet saying he had been invited to play in a PGA Tour event but wasn’t sure he should accept the offer.
It turns out the tournament in question is the Barracuda Championship, an opposite-field event at Old Greenwood in Truckee, Calif. The tournament will be played while the Open Championship is at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.
To me, this is a no-brainer: Horvat should play.
Why YouTube golf sponsor invites are good for golf
There is a lot to unpack here.
The first is that we are all aware professional golf needs as much publicity as it can get. Rory McIlroy’s Masters victory pulled in phenomenal ratings, but the Tour isn’t in a position to rest on its laurels. It needs to fight for every inch when it comes to entertainment value.
