Tuck or Untuck Golf Shirt Playing Golf

Play18 · July 21

Do you tuck or untuck your golf shirt when playing golf, not including golf courses with dress codes? I was always Team Tuck, but I recently tried the untucked style and am starting to like it. I'm in good physical shape, and my wife thinks my athletic/modern-style shirts look better untucked. What do you think?

As someone who would LOVE to be Team Tucked all the time, my muffin top has other plans for my shirts, and so I'm Team "Constantly Retucking In My Shirt During the Round", which is not a team I love being on.

That being said, I far prefer the look of tucked to untucked, but I'm also the guy who would wear a vest and tie if given the chance, as I think that still looks killer. Sure, uncomfortable as hell, but...I mean - what better way to take a Zoom office call on the course if you at least LOOK like you're still at your desk?

... Us older golfers grew up in a tucked era. Tee shirts were the exception. I recently had to revise almost my entire shirt wardrobe because the tails are so long, and untucked they looked sloppy. I still wear my shirts tucked when temps are below 90* but during the summer from late May -Sept we don't see temps below 105* and obviously tucked shirts trap body heat. So I bought 30 new shirts with a shorter tail and they look nice untucked. An added bonus is they are athletic cuts and a much better fit in the body as well.

When I started working as an administrator and had to full shirt and tie every day I had the same multi-retuck problem. I found these on Amazon and am so glad I about two pairs as they have been out of stock for a while and I lost one pair. They are little half-golf ball-looking rubber magnets that if you where a good belt keep your s*** in place

I am a big guy and I tend to by xxxlt shirts and go tucked as I where them at work for causal Fridays too and during summer when things are more relaxed (I work in higher ed so summer months are more causal)

Tucked all day long for me!

Just seems cleaner to me, but it doesn’t bother me that others have theirs untucked…just my personal preference.

I always tucked for work, but my favorite shirts are Peter Millar and Johnnie-O printed designs and they do look better untucked.

... Haha as a flat belly I have the opposite problem. Any shorts/pants with any kind of "grabber" waistband to keep shirts tucked just ride up my body with my shirt on every swing and I end up looking like Ed Grimley.

Those are pretty clever - but sadly, out of stock.

I'm not YET so worried about that I'm considering the alternative...

...then again, I mean...if my legs looked like that, I could go tucked AND pants-less. Total win.

@GolfSpy SAM looked sharp with the untucked shirts at the Kingsmill outing…I could only wish to look that good with an untucked shirt!

No…just no!

... If you look at my avatar (or read my earlier reply) I go untucked all summer.

Team Tucked, just looks better. Am not a fan of the sloppy golfer look.

Some of my shirts just don't look good because they're too long as well. Coming from the "sleeve just below the elbow" era, it took me a while to find that I could go from a large to a medium in many brands. Now the seam is JUST below the shoulder and the shirts can worn tucked or untucked.

But I'm firmly a tucked on the golf course and untucked off the golf course guy.

I was always untucked, but I got into the habit of playing with my shirt tucked in in the last couple of years because of being able to play a couple of private courses. There were no rules, it just seemed like the thing to do.

Tallwood88 · July 22

Because my 5' 4" 250-pound physique is elite level, I can wear anything, look amazing where women swoon and men are envious, I go with whatever is most comfortable. Hot days will be untucked, cool days tucked.

Team tucked 90% of the time. However, I do try the untuck look with some shirts and in some situations (very warm, yet a touch of breeze). Still, I prefer massively the look of tucked shirts (on me and on others alike, whatever the shape/size of bodies).

ParFore74x · July 22

I’m untucked the vast majority of the time but I also am happy to be on team tucked if the course requires it or I’m at a tournament.

tony@CIC · July 22

Tucked or untucked - who cares. Go with what's comfortable for you.

Duffer_E · July 22

I am Team Untucked. I don't like the way my shirt tugs when I swing. It feels restrictive.

Even though it was rebellious to be untucked, as a Catholic school student, old habits are hard to break as I always have my shirts tucked in, just a force of habit at my age.

JaredC · July 22

Prefer the tucked in look, but when I am playing, I prefer the freedom of untucked even though most shirts stretch.

evomo23 · July 22

I cant get comfortable untucked. Also the old school thought of belt tucked no belt untucked

That’s Mr. Dirt · July 22

Definitely untucked. That being said, I need to get a proper fitting shirt, but I’m not gonna pay over $100 for one UNTUCKit shirt. So, I shall stay on the untucked team, probably for the rest of my golfing life.

trike11 · July 22

I'm team tuck. I have this illogical notion that the bottom of the shirt will get in the way of my golf swing even though I have an athletic frame and wear the proper "fit".

Krls032022 · July 22

Tucked for me as I don’t own any untucked shirts. I prefer a cleaner look.

alii1959 · July 22

Veteran....very difficult to go untucked...anywhere. Even workout clothes get tucked half the time. My wife is Hawaiian and she is kinda weird about clothes...she hates them, everything has to be loose and easy to wear. Thus, I have loosened up over 40+ years of marriage...sometimes I can go untucked and feel semi-comfortable. However, when I am strapped I am often untucked, but only in very hot weather. I like the trim look. I like looking like I have a waist. However, for those with dunlops' disease the tucked look is a bad one. I have a friend that is a 34" waist (no matter what) and is always tucked...that shirt is strained beyond its elasticity. Not a good look. As far as the course is concerned, my club requires tucking, but I don't care about others and what they wear.

Decssm · July 22

For sure untucked! Way more comfortable!

CFreddie · July 22

Depends on the course, especially if I’m a guest somewhere (at which point I’ll ask the guest what’s most appropriate). Don’t have a strong preference either way
