After surviving what was one of the oddest winters in memory, and I’m talking way beyond just the weather, it’s safe to say that we are all ready for the warm-up and to get back into the swing of life on and off the course. But what to wear when the temperature goes up?
Travis Mathew has an answer for that.
The Heater 2.0 Polo
It’s safe to say that Travis Mathew was golf lifestyle before golf lifestyle was even a fraction of a thought in the eye of the seemingly hundreds of companies fighting for a piece of the pie now. When you are a true originator though, you know that the only way to stand your ground is to innovate, and Travis Mathew has never been afraid of that.
Their new Heater 2.0 polos are exhibit number one.
These designs are based around maintaining the iconic aesthetics that have made the brand popular on and off the course but bringing the materials they are made out of into an era of new effectiveness. Using a new blend of cotton, polyester, and spandex which the company refers to as their Prestige Pure Performance fabrics, Travis Mathew has created a polo that stands up to the heat, literally.
Offering breathability blended with 4-way stretch, each of the polos also feature the 3-button placket that Travis Mathew has historically used. The Heater 2.0 stays true to Travis Mathew roots featuring the bold textured chest the company is most known for, and is available in four colors: Black, Sleet/Quiet-Shade, Vintage-Indigo/Black, as well as Heather Lichen Blue. Each of the new polos are priced at $89.95.
The looks Travis Mathew is known for, but in a material design that seeks to offer golfers all the movement and moisture wicking that they could want as the temperature keeps climbing up. Are the Heater 2.0 polos something that catch your eye? Jump into the conversation and let us know what you think!

I’m really digging it, and I’m not a big blue guy.
That’s interesting stuff in the material.
I want to love their stuff but Travis Mathew consistently has 3 issues for me (based on the 8 or 9 polos I own).
1) collars are flimsy and lose shape quickly. Never sit right.
2) sizing is inconsistent. One Large is tight while another fits decent.
3) the cut is not flattering to people with some belly.
But $90? Oooof that’s a tough sell for me.
This is the model Jon Rahm was wearing on Sunday, right? Seemed like there were sweat stains for days on that shirt.
I like the looks. However I am curious how well that blend of fabrics work when it’s hot?
Oh hell yeah!!
An extra shout out to TM customer service. The guys in the shop were awesome and we ended up talking golf for awhile, I didn’t even realize TM had been acquired by Callaway. The guys ended up giving me a 15% discount just because and offered me an Arnold Palmer on the way out the door. I normally dread shopping but can’t say enough about the vibe and service in their store. They had so much awesome stuff in there and I will definitely be back soon to load up on gear.
I couldn’t agree more with you on the fit. I went with an XL myself, which in other brands tends to be a bit baggy but provides the length I need. These polos are the perfect length and have a fantastic fit to go along with the lightweight feel and fantastic looks.
I’m going to say no on sweating through, and I put this through the ringer on Monday. It was 95+ when I decided to play a second 9 (teeing off at 1115) on a course with minimal shade and a fair amount of elevation change (two holes specifically have a very steep uphill hike). Perhaps it just dries quickly, but when I got home (5 minutes after reaching the truck) the shirt was dry to the touch. At no point during the round, despite dripping sweat literally, did I feel like the shirt was sticking to me.
sounds like a winner.
I normally feel the same but for some reason these looked so good in person. I went with the dark grey and the stripe colors are so similar in tone that it ends up looking really good.
The cotton piece throws me off. Always has with TM. Love their look but refuse to use cotton in the South. (I live in Nashville). Cotton and golf equal heavy, sweat staining shirts.
I know this is a blend but didn’t even notice this was a Heater polo that Rahm was wearing but yes, it looked like he was sweating thru and that was cooler California weather, or at least much less humidity than we have down here. Can anyone comment in humid weather it breathes well?
I live in NC and wore one on the range with it was mid 90s and with high humidity. I didn’t feel like changing so wore the Heater. I wouldn’t recommend the Heater in heat like that. Not the best moisture wicking and the sweat stains and super obvious.
Thank you.
well the current version.
