Five colour stories, a first-ever hoodie and more fit options than ever — PING’s SS26 women’s collection is its most expressive yet.
Here are the highlights.
There is a shift happening in women’s golf fashion, and PING’s SS26 collection is a clear marker of it. This is a brand that has always delivered on the technical side — and still does, with its Sensor fabric technology running through every piece — but the conversation has moved on. Women want personality in what they wear on the course, and this collection suggests PING has been listening.
Five colour stories run across the range, from the warm, elevated tones of Rich Heritage through to the punchy brights of Fuchsia Foliage and the relaxed energy of Colourful Retreat. What stands out is the restraint: prints are used selectively rather than plastered across everything, which keeps the range feeling curated rather than chaotic. The Aeria and Penola polos are the hero print pieces, both available across all five palettes, making mix-and-match genuinely easy rather than an afterthought.
Polos with personality- and a polo for the heat
For those who gravitate towards texture over print, the Viviana, Alicia and Eben polos bring a more tactile, heritage feel. And for the height of summer, the Evetta polo in lightweight mesh with stretch is worth noting — it is the kind of piece you will reach for on those airless August mornings when breathability is everything.
Across the polo range, PING has expanded its sleeve length options too — sleeveless, short and longer sleeves — which gives women more control over how they dress for the day and the conditions.
The Ciara Dress: Simplicity With Substance
The standout trend piece is the Ciara dress. Two of the three colourways are clean and solid, the third carries a soft, understated print. It reflects a wider movement in women’s golf fashion towards simplicity with substance — fewer fussy details, more confidence in cut and colour alone.

A First for PING Women’s: The Rhona Hoodie
PING has made a quiet but significant move with layering. For the first time in the women’s range, there is a hoodie — the Rhona — and it fills a gap that most women golfers will recognise. Add the windproof Inga jacket and the textured Misha vest, and the transitional weather options are genuinely strong this season.

More Lengths, More Choice in Bottoms
The bottoms story deserves attention too. The Vic trouser, skort and shorts now come in two lengths, which sounds like a small thing but makes a real difference to fit and confidence. The new Harlie skort — available in five options — is designed to pair easily with the polo range, and that kind of practical outfit-building is exactly what busy golfers want.

The Verdict
This is a collection that balances performance fabric with genuine fashion thinking. It is not trying to be everything to everyone, but it is giving women considerably more to work with — and that is exactly the direction women’s golf apparel needs to keep moving in.
