Start with the job
Decide where the towel will hang and how much usable fabric you need. Reserve one patch for wet or dirty wiping and another clean patch for drying. That practical layout matters more than a claimed fabric winner without a comparable test.
Two documented examples, not a performance test
TaylorMade's grey Microfiber Cart Towel B1599601 measures 15 × 24 inches. The manufacturer specifies waffle weave, a nylon webbing bag loop, and 85% polyester with 15% polyamide. The verified Amazon child B01NCI506O lists one towel and the same model number.
PING's Bow Tie Towel provides a documented cotton example: 100% cotton, 38 × 16 inches unfolded, and a webbing loop with a snap. Its official page is the model-information route; we have not verified an Amazon child for it.
These different sizes and constructions do not establish which material absorbs more, dries faster or lasts longer. We have not conducted a head-to-head test.
See the official TaylorMade model specifications and imagery and PING cotton towel details and imagery for the actual products; the illustration below is generic.
Check unfolded dimensions and hanging clearance
A long unfolded towel can give you room to keep wiping and drying patches apart, but only if it hangs without dragging or fouling access to your bag. PING explicitly labels its dimensions as unfolded; TaylorMade gives dimensions without a folded footprint. Neither source gives a packed size.
Before ordering, fold an existing towel to a similar size and check your intended attachment point. Check clearance with the bag standing and in its normal cart position. A bag-loop description is not a universal fit guarantee.
Keep dirty wiping away from clean drying
Use a defined damp patch for dirty wiping and retain a separate clean area. When that clean area becomes dirty, stop using it as a clean drying surface. A second towel you already own may solve this better than buying a larger replacement.
Do not use a towel to grind trapped grit across a delicate finish. Follow the equipment manufacturer's cleaning directions, especially for coated surfaces or lenses; this article is not a lens-cleaning guide.
Choose or skip the verified microfiber option
Consider the TaylorMade grey B1599601 if you want its documented waffle weave, synthetic blend, 15 × 24 inch size and webbing loop. Check that the attachment works with your bag and do not assume a separate clip comes in the pack.
Skip it if you require 100% cotton, a particular closure, or more fabric than its listed size supplies. Check PING's official cotton model details if that is your preference, without treating its larger dimensions as proof of better absorption.
No purchase is needed if your current towel remains useful, attaches securely, hangs clear and allows clean and dirty areas to stay separate.

Care instructions belong to the actual towel
Read the sewn-in care label before washing. The cited TaylorMade and PING pages do not verify a model-specific wash temperature or drying method. Do not substitute a blanket rule about bleach, fabric softener or tumble drying for that label.
Air out a damp towel rather than packing it away wet. If its label is missing, ask the manufacturer for instructions for the exact model instead of borrowing advice for a different towel.
Is microfiber better than cotton for golf?
Not established by this source-based comparison. Fabric preference, actual size, attachment and the care label can guide a choice; no measured absorption or drying comparison was performed.
Are the listed sizes folded sizes?
PING specifies 38 × 16 inches unfolded. TaylorMade lists 15 × 24 inches without giving a folded footprint. Check how the towel will fold and hang on your own bag.
Do I need a new golf towel?
Not if your existing towel cleans well, attaches securely, hangs clear and lets you keep dirty wiping separate from clean drying. A second towel already at home may be enough.
