Best golf sunglasses

Top pick: Oakley Radar EV Path. The wrap shape and tall lens keep sun out of your eyes at address and through the swing, and the big coverage means you're not squinting over a putt. It's the pair most golfers reach for when they want one set for the whole round.

Who the others suit:

• Tifosi Navar FC — the value play: light, vented, and easy to forget you're wearing them.
• Sundog Maverick — open-bottom frame and adjustable nose pads, good if you want airflow and a secure fit.
• GOODR Sonic G — polarized, vented and light; the fun, low-key option for casual rounds.
• Shady Rays Ace Elite — rose tint and 100% UV, a strong all-rounder with a big following.
• RIA Response [Golf HD+] — copper-rose golf-specific tint for reading greens; note it isn't polarized.
• Maui Jim Kanaio Coast — the premium choice if you want the best lens clarity and wear them off the course too.

One thing to weigh: polarized lenses cut glare but can flatten contour, so some golfers prefer a non-polarized golf tint for reading greens.
