Definitely need a glove. It just feels right, and improves my grip considerably. Not to mention saving the blisters.

I wear a glove all the time. I like the feel for some reason. I'm trying to not wear a glove while I'm putting so it can dry out( in addition to me taking it off and trying to dry it from hole to tee box) and not get too soaked from sweating in it while playing in 100-110* heat. I may buy a second glove just for that reason.

I take mine off after every shot. Its become a habit from playing golf in the summer.

I carry two gloves in my bag since my hands tend to sweat alot and it soaks through, and I change up the glove after nine holes.
in the bag:

Rescue Dual 19°
Titleist 755 4-PW
Vokey Black Nickel 54.10° Vokey Oil Can 60.08° Circa 62 No. 2 Charcoal Mist

I wear a glove, but only because I have a circle around the 2nd knuckle so that I make sure to maintain a strong grip. I have played both ways and dont mind either, just fun to accumulate more golf gear.

Gotta have a glove. Otherwise my left hand gets all torn up.

no glove for me, and I'm surprised by the amount of others who don't like the "Michael Jackson" glove look either.

to tell you the truth I can't remember the last time I saw anyone without a glove on other then myself while playing.

I've actually been asked alot by people I've been paired up with about not wearing 1, and them not understanding it.

tour players over the years who don't:

Couples
Janzen
Cochran
Glover

anyone else think of any?

I probably answered this before, but I also don't wear gloves when golfing. I should find some gloves for when it's really, really raining, but I've always put that off.

I'm in the same bag as you. I rely too much on my left hand for my grip, and it would tear up my hand if I didn't wear a glove. I learned this the hard way earlier this year, when I played nine holes without a glove after leaving it on top of the TV at home. I couldn't touch a club for the next three days.

My left hand is a lot less tan than my right hand. It's obvious from a mile off. And, I go through gloves pretty quickly - about once a month before I wear a hole in it.

I wear a black glove so the wear doesn't show so much. I also take it off after every shot... habit caused by the heat here in Oklahoma, I sweat too much. I noticed one other person mentioned doing that too. Neato.

    • I have been debating getting a launch monitor of some sort, if only so I can re-figure my shot zones (I haven't actually mapped them in years) and also to practice distance wedges at home.  I have to see if this works with either my current setup, or what my setup would be if I move it to the garage.  
    • Day 48, June 23.  After work today, I took 25 minutes in my practice room;  6-iron, same everything as yesterday except the time and count. 
    • Well, this is interesting.  I think we discovered a few months ago that I haven't been following professional golf in a while (my confusion about Scotty's footwork confirmed that), so at least as I aim to follow a bit more I'll get something new to learn with all of you.  My very quick read of Erik's summary makes me think this new Challenger series fits somewhere between Korn Ferry and the Championship (not Champions, but I know I'm going to make that mistake a few times if I'm not careful!).   My recollection is that there were already second-tier events among the PGA Tour;  the Bob Hope didn't have the same quality of field as the event at Riviera (whose current name I forget, although now that I say that, I realize the Palm Springs event hasn't been called the Bob Hope in a few years either).   With the absence of the FedEx (if I'm reading that correctly), does that mean no more FedEx Cup at all? Hopefully I'll have time later in 2026 to sit down and see what we're in for in 2027, where one of my goals already is to follow more professional golf.
    • The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.
