Caps you will have seen on the heads of Rory, Brooks and Tommy, here are the best Nike golf caps in the game right now.
A brand that isn't in the club-making game anymore, Nike still regularly appears in the golf world because it outfits some of the best players in the world including Rory McIlroy and Brooks Koepka.
Obviously every one of those top players wear Nike from the bottom, their shoes, all the way to the top, their caps and in this guide we are focusing on the latter. Nike has been making some of the best golf hats for a long time now with pretty much every model being designed for comfort, using technology that deals with sweat and breathability. Additionally, more than any other brand, Nike also releases lots of different models, in lots of different colors, including special edition versions for Major Championships, or ones with unique logo's on.
Bearing all of this mind, here are some of the best golf caps made by Nike. Additionally be sure to check out some of our other golf guides as well - such as the best golf beanies, best golf tops or best golf waterproofs.

If you want more breathability you can also get the Classic99 cap in a mesh design as well. Once again it has the sweatband on the inside and unlike a couple of models on this list it has a snapback adjustable closure system at the back so you can tailor it to be comfortable on different head sizes.

A classic design worn out on Tour by players like Rory McIlroy, this high-performance golf cap is highlighted with Nike's signature Swoosh logo and has a soft sweatband to give you maximum comfort during your golf game. Additionally the color choice is fantastic. Speaking of which if you are a fan of Nike gear then take a look at our guides on the best Nike golf shoes.

Our second pick is the Retro72 cap. Featuring a unique bill, the modernized cap remains lightweight, sweat-wicking, and yet different for those who want something outside of normal. The green underbill and low-profile silhouette are inspired by OG hats, while a braided rope adds a vintage vibe.
Sizes: S/M, M/L, L/XL
Colors: 10+
The Nike AeroBill Heritage86 cap puts a fresh spin on a course classic with a leather back strap and lightweight, sweat-wicking technology. The sweatband is particularly useful here as it is soft and absorbent without feeling sticky on the forehead or uncomfortable. From a looks perspective it is the simplicity of the cap we like, in particular in colors like the black and white version above.
Sizes: S/M, M/L, L/XL
Colors: 9+
Look the part with this Nike cap with the legendary 'TW' logo. The perforations and holes at the front of the design give excellent ventilation and Nike's AeroBill technology combines breathability with sweat-wicking comfort.
There are loads of colors to choose from as well although we should say, if you turn up to the course with a Tiger Woods logo on display, you better bring your A-game!
Sizes: S/M, M/L, L/XL
Colors: 10+ (plus special editions)
The Classic99 is made of 4-way stretch fabric with perforations to help you stay dry and comfortable on and off the course. Additionally this is the cap that often gets released in lots of different color options ranging from printed versions with unique graphics, to models celebrating Major Championships.
How we test golf apparel
We test golf apparel with the same ethos as all other golf equipment, by using the product. With golf hats and caps this means putting them on during golf, after golf, on and off the golf course and just using them in every day life. We would also see what the caps are like in different conditions, and also see how easy they are to wash too because that is an important characteristic.
We also should mention that no manufacturer can pay for a good review because our team tells it how it is.
What to consider when buying a golf cap
There are several factors to consider when buying a golf cap and lets go into those now.
Style
The first factor to discuss is the style of cap and what are you after? Do you want a more curved bill or one that is almost flat like a snap back kind of design? Knowing what kind of style cap you want is one of the easiest ways of narrowing your search.
Comfort
This is the next most important factor because if a cap isn't comfortable, then it is totally pointless. It will make you take it off all the time and it might even irritate you as you are about to pull the trigger on a shot which never ends well. Therefore we would recommend trying out some models and seeing what size would be best for your head. That way you can gauge the comfort and whether a model will be good enough to wear over 18 holes and beyond.
Adjustability
Linking with the comfort point, adjustability can play a key role in managing comfort. A hat can be transformed in seconds from one that doesn't fit, into the perfect fit with the ability to adjust the size. That being said some caps are stretchy and adjust themselves to different heads so once again we would recommend trying out models for yourself.
Color
Gone are the days when caps were boring and the same old colors. No, brands and Tour professionals have shown they want to design and wear models that stand out and Nike is one of the best at this. Sure some models split opinion but fashion is entirely subjective so if you want a bright and flashy model, go for it. But if you want to have a more understated design, you can do that as well. It is a case of wearing what makes you comfortable.
Budget
Finally caps can vary in price so we would be remiss if we didn't mention budget as a factor to consider. Simply be aware of how much you want to spend on a golf cap and pick accordingly.
