Editor's Choice 2024

Photo montage of Editor's Choice 2024 products.

We like to consider ourselves as golf equipment experts here at Golf Monthly, having formed a large team of experienced testers and reviewers qualified to provide opinions and buying advice on any product you might be thinking about adding to your bag. It’s why our Editor’s Choice Awards, now in its sixth year, carries so much weight and gravitas - we really have scoured the market and hand-picked the best of the best, although with so much innovation on show this year it was tricky to narrow it down to just 150 products. So what makes a product worthy of selection? 

First off, it has to stand out from the crowd. You would think in a well-established and strictly governed category like hardware, this would be a tough ask. Yet, manufacturers continue to showcase exciting design improvements powered by modern technology and brought to life through compelling stories. We’ve really thought about the broad spectrum of people who play golf, be it casually or with more serious intent, which is why we’ve made a conscious effort to include more women’s and entry-level products - it didn’t take us long to find some excellent contenders. 

Now the Masters has been and gone, the golf season is well and truly underway and hopefully, you will find inspiration in the choices we’ve made that should elevate your enjoyment of the game.
