This Year’s Best Golf-Themed Halloween Costumes

Halloween-2016-header (1).jpg

For many, dressing up for Halloween is one of the highlights of the year. It’s one of the few times in life when you can put on a costume and pretend to be someone else. But if vampires and zombies aren’t quite your thing, why not dress up as your favorite golfer? Here are five costume ideas for the golf fan this Halloween.

No one in the world of golf owned the year 2016 more than Beef. Whether it’s his love of beer, his passion for fast food roast beef sandwiches or the best/worst facial hair in the history of the sport, people couldn’t get enough Beef. Grab a fake beard (or grow your own), throw a pillow under a golf shirt, swing through your nearest Arby’s and wa-lah, you’re on your way to crushing Halloween like it’s a large curly fry.

Tiger Woods

While Tiger has certainly been a popular costume for years, there are a few twists you can add to your get-up to update it for 2016. In addition to your red polo and black pants, throw on a back brace to make the outfit as realistic as possible. If you really want to go all out, RSVP to your friends Halloween party and then cancel the day of.

Of course the funniest character in one of the greatest movies ever made would be a great Halloween costume. All you need is a camo bucket hat, a pair of hiking boots and a dirty t-shirt. Bonus points if you have a friend dress up like a gopher and spend the whole night chasing him around. Or you can carry the bag for your friend dressed as the Dali Lama. Big hitter, the Lama.

Patrick Reed and Rory McIlroy

One of the most memorable moments of this golf season was the battle between Reed and McIlory at Hazeltine. It provided us with the passion, drama and gif-able moments we all crave. Have your Patrick wear a stripey blue polo and some awesome red pants while your Rory rocks the often underappreciated blue sweater vest and no hat. Then battle it out for Halloween supremacy.

These four gentlemen spent a week in April having the trip of a lifetime down in the Bahamas, posting their adventures for the world to see on Snapchat. Now it’s time for you and your friends to take on Spring Break 2016, but you know, in October. Probably the easiest costume on this list, all you need is a bathing suit, a straw hat and a 7-iron.

Chris Gotterup Making A Name For Himself

Who is Chris Gotterup (Bridgestone Tour B X), and why is he tearing it up early in the 2026 PGA Tour season? If you had asked golf fans heading into this year’s season, some may have known him and success he has had, but I don’t think there would be many who would say he was slated for a breakthrough season. But now the word is out: Not only is he a long-ball hitter off the tee and someone who can keep it in the fairway, but he also has a complete game and championship mettle. With two victories in only three tournaments in 2026, most recently last weekend beating two-time winner Hideki Matsuyama (Srixon z-Star XV) in a playoff in the WM Phoenix Open, Gotterup is on a heater. Matsuyama, the tournament leader heading into the final round, was spraying his ball all over the course and was scrambling most of the day. Gotterup was quietly doing his own thing. In fact, while Scottie Scheffler (Titleist Pro V1) was making a serious run for the lead that just fell one shot short after a seven-under par, Gotterup was putting together a similar round. He had the tournament lead after round one with an eight-under par – Scheffler was just hoping to make the cut after opening two-under par – but shot one-under par in his next two rounds. Gotterup really turned it on in the final round. He was two-under after the front nine, but five-under on the back nine, including birdying five of the last six holes.
