Abstract
In a golf glove, a slit 5 that is laterally expanded when a hand is inserted is formed in a lower end portion of a back region 3 of the glove body 2, and engaging portions for closing the slit 5 after the hand is inserted are attached to the back region 3. An imaginary line 6 connecting the top portion 5A and the bottom portion 5B of the slit 5 does not coincide with the longitudinal axis 7 of the back region 3 of the glove body 2, but is inclined to cause the top portion 5A of the slit to be close to a little-finger portion 8 of the back region 3, and the bottom portion 5B of the slit to be close to an index-finger portion 9 of the back region 3, thereby forming the slit 5 so as to inclinedly elongate.

- a finger portion including a thumb piece, an index-finger piece, a middle-finger piece, a ring-finger piece, and a little-finger piece,
- wherein an imaginary line connecting top and bottom portions of the slit is not parallel to a longitudinal axis of the back region of the glove body;
- the longitudinal axis passes through a center of the middle finger piece;
- the top portion of the slit is close to a little-finger portion of the back region;
- the bottom portion of the slit is close to an index-finger portion of the back region;
