ABOUT US
Our Story
The Matchplay Company was born on the historic links of Great Britain, where traditions and timeless quality run deep. A century ago, the golf sock was an integral part of the game and The Matchplay Company champions its return to the fore. With the demise of the humble tie for all but the most formal of occasions, our aim is to bring a Club’s colours to life through socks and other thoughtful accessories so that members, guests and visitors can ‘show their colours’ on and off the course.
The Matchplay Company is a small, family-run business owned by Chris Stott - an often wayward member of Notts Golf Club (Hollinwell) and Royal Dornoch. Chris has always favoured the Matchplay format; the true form of the game, and has a (unhealthy) passion for classical golfing attire coupled with a sense of fun.
As Chris will tell anyone who listens;
“Most people put clothes on in the morning. Some of us get dressed.”
Quality Assured
Frustrated by the lack of high-quality options that could withstand the rigors of Golf whilst looking smart, Matchplay turned to the rich textile heritage of Great Britain to create the signature Matchplay Classics sock – a product now adopted by many of the world’s leading golf clubs and institutions and widely accepted as the best sock in golf.
The Matchplay Company holds the belief that golf attire can and should be as sophisticated and enduring as the game itself.

Greg Petersen - Head Professional, Royal Birkdale Golf Club
“As a club that does not enforce a specific sock rule, I was initially skeptical but have been blown away by how well received our striped club socks have been. Both Long and Sports have sold extremely well and the popularity seems to be growing amongst members and visitors alike. We have expanded the Stripe story across several products including the new Matchplay belts.”
