How often do you change gloves?

Watching Min Woo Lee change gloves every few holes had me thinking about this.
Even if I had an unlimited supply like the pros I don't think I'd switch that often. I remember when Sergio won a LIV event they talked about how he used the same glove every round like it was some insanely crazy thing to do.
I've always felt like there was a break in period for the glove. I for sure like the feel of one a few rounds in than I do when I use it for the first time.
1 round
3 rounds
10 rounds
A season
Until it's dry rotted
Where do you fall?

I always play a round rotating 3 gloves. Helps during the summer/sweaty months. Keeps them from getting wet and drying out quicker. I’m used to it so I do it all the time. In winter my gloves will last months. In the summer, maybe a month. I play a lot though; a few times a week.

Until it's worn out.. cooler months and winter not so bad.. Summer wreaks havoc on gloves for me.. I have multiples on hand for a round during the hotter months

I always laugh at the glove wearers complaining about wet gloves in the summer. I’ve never worn one. Full cords and fresh towels.

I do not seem to have the same problem with gloves as a lot of people. Even in the heat of summer, I usually play the whole round with the same glove on. I keep maybe 1extra available in case of a blowout or it getting really soaked, but I almost never use anything but the one I start with.

Every few months, and that’s with me playing 3-6 times a week.

I guess I’ve haven’t found where I prefer wearing gloves.

Until it starts to get hard or I wear a hole in it. Changing every few holes is incredibly wasteful, if he was really using a brand new one and not rotating it because it was sweaty. In the summer, will play with 2-3 depending on how hot it is allowing the wet ones to dry on the cart roof post or steering wheel.

I guess my hands just don't sweat that much even during the summer. My most annoying thing is during the hottest days my right hand seems to be tackier more than wet on the grip. Like it's almost too much grip.

For probably 10 years I went with no glove until about two years ago I started wearing one with my driver for extra grip. Then for whatever reason started working them in with my irons. Still use heavy cord grips and don't use them on my wedges for more feel. But if I forget a glove or something it's not an issue because I could easily go back to no glove.
What grips do you use?

I will use one glove for the entire round almost all the time with the exception being the hottest days, then I change it after 9 holes. I do make a habit of taking the glove off after shots so they don't absorb as much moisture. Gloves last me a good while.

I have baby powder in my bag for summer months to help keep my hands dry and the gloves dry and easy to take on and off.

I've also found switching to the FJ Tropicool gloves on particularly hot muggy days has worked wonders. Not a huge fan of the material in the palm but my hands don't sweat as bad

Lamkin full cords

I use a Finger 10 glove.
It gets better with moisture.
Cheap too and durable.

I usually rotate two a round, take off after shots and put on golf cart grip or bag to let it air out. A tip I heard years ago that helps extend the life is to keep original casing and store them in there in between round. I’ve found they’ll last a lot longer
If it’s really humid and my hands get sweaty I’ll rub a couple ice cubes together and dry off with towel. Helps out a lot as well

I use those as well and love them. I played 50 some odd rounds last year and am still using the same glove now.

3 years ago i stopped wearing gloves. I didn't think I could, but it was easier than I thought. If it is really humid, I carry one in my bag and I can always put 1 on, but I rarely do Texas (other than Houston) is not as humid as South Louisiana where I grew up. We used neutral shoe polish when I was in high school and college to keep the sweat off our hands (even with gloves). I also have rain gloves in my bag, just in case.

I don’t even wear a glove in the winter normally unless it’s unusually dry. Three gloves per round, two holes per glove then i rotate.

When playing in competitive rounds I rotate 3 gloves every 3 holes. Fun round I swap after 9 holes.
