PING Murphy Lined Full Zip Sweater – Navy is a premium men's golf sweater combining the natural thermal comfort of merino wool, enhanced wind resistance and refined sporting style. Designed for golfers who want to remain comfortable throughout cooler autumn, winter and spring rounds, it offers an excellent alternative to bulky winter jackets when a standard golf polo is no longer warm enough.
The standout feature is the fully lined construction, designed to provide additional insulation and wind resistance. Unlike a conventional knitted sweater, Murphy has an extra layer that helps retain warmth and reduce the cooling effect of wind. This makes a noticeable difference when walking between holes, waiting on the tee or playing in colder conditions.
The outer knit combines 50% merino wool and 50% acrylic. Merino wool is valued for its natural temperature-regulating properties and comfortable feel, while acrylic adds the practical qualities of a synthetic knitted fabric. Together they create a classic golf sweater suitable for regular course use and everyday wear.
The lining is made from 96% polyester and 4% elastane. It adds thermal protection and helps reduce wind penetration, while the elastane content contributes to flexibility. For golf, this is important because clothing should allow the shoulders, arms and torso to move naturally through the backswing and follow-through.
A full-length front zip makes the sweater easy to put on over a polo shirt and remove when conditions change. It also allows convenient temperature adjustment during the round. Compared with a traditional pullover or short-zip sweater, this design offers additional versatility and simpler layering.
The 1 × 1 ribbed collar, cuffs and hem provide a comfortable, secure fit and give the sweater its classic, tailored appearance. Rib detailing across the shoulder panels adds texture and a sporting character, while the subtle metal PING badge at the back neck completes the premium finish.
We recommend Murphy as a warm midlayer or outer layer for cool, mainly dry weather. It can be worn over a golf polo or combined with another layer when temperatures fall. Although the fully lined design improves wind protection, the manufacturer does not present it as a waterproof garment for prolonged heavy rain.
Another advantage is versatility. Rather than looking like purely technical sportswear, the Murphy sweater has a refined appearance that works on the golf course, in the clubhouse, while travelling and for casual everyday occasions. It particularly suits golfers who appreciate classic knitted clothing but want more warmth and wind protection than a conventional sweater.

Our recommendation
We recommend the PING Murphy Lined Full Zip Sweater to golfers who want a stylish, comfortable and warmer knitted layer for cold-weather golf. Its greatest advantage is the combination of a merino wool blend with a full lining designed to deliver additional warmth and wind resistance.
For frequent play in rain, we would choose a dedicated waterproof golf jacket. For golfers who prefer classic style, quality materials, convenient full-zip fastening and versatile everyday use, Murphy is an excellent choice.
