The Under Armour Matchplay Junior Polo is one of the best-selling golf polos in the world — now upgraded and engineered specifically for young players who want to perform at their best on the course. Built with a smooth, soft anti-pick, anti-pill fabric that features a textured, snag-free finish, this polo delivers the refined look of a traditional golf shirt with the advanced performance technology that Under Armour is known for. The striking varsity blue and midnight navy colourway makes it equally suited to the golf course, school, or any smart-casual occasion.
We actually upgraded one of the best-selling polos in the world. The fabric is now lighter and more breathable to keep young golfers even cooler and more focused on their performance — from the first tee to the final putt.
The UA Matchplay Junior Polo is constructed from a 4-way stretch fabric that moves naturally with the body in every direction — up, down, left, and right. Whether a young golfer is addressing the ball, completing a full backswing, or bending to pick up a tee, the fabric never pulls or restricts. This freedom of movement is critical at junior level, where developing a consistent, fluid swing technique is the top priority. The stretch builds confidence by removing any physical distraction from the clothing itself.
Under Armour's advanced moisture-wicking technology actively draws perspiration away from the skin and rapidly disperses it across the fabric surface, where it evaporates quickly. The result is a polo that keeps junior golfers dry and comfortable even during long rounds in warm weather. Fast-drying performance also means the polo regains its structure and feel quickly after physical exertion, ensuring consistent comfort from the first hole to the last.
Golfers — especially junior players — spend extended hours outdoors on the course, often in full sunlight. The UA Matchplay Junior Polo features UPF 50+ protection woven directly into the fabric, providing a high level of defence against harmful UV rays. This gives parents peace of mind and allows young players to focus entirely on their game rather than worrying about sun exposure. The protection is built in and does not wash out over time, unlike topical sunscreen products.
The smooth, soft fabric of the UA Matchplay Junior Polo is specially treated with an anti-pick, anti-pill finish that gives the surface a structured, textured appearance while resisting the snagging and pilling that typically affects lesser-quality garments over time. Even after repeated washing and regular wear on the course, the polo retains its sharp, clean look. This durability makes it a practical investment for parents and a reliable wardrobe staple for junior golfers throughout the season.
Integrated odour control technology is built into the fabric to minimise the development of unpleasant smells caused by bacterial growth during and after physical activity. For junior golfers who play multiple rounds per week or use the polo for school and other activities, this feature helps the shirt stay fresh for longer between washes. It works continuously, session after session, without diminishing with laundering.
This latest version of the UA Matchplay Junior Polo represents a meaningful upgrade over its already highly regarded predecessor. Under Armour engineers have reduced the fabric weight while simultaneously improving breathability, so air circulates more effectively across the body. The outcome is a polo that helps junior golfers maintain a lower body temperature during play, reducing fatigue and improving concentration — particularly important during the back nine of a competition round.
