A wood golf club head, which is provided therein with a hollow section and for which a crown section that forms the upper surface of the head is formed from a metal material. The crown section includes a heel portion; a toe portion with a smaller thickness than the heel portion; and a thickness transition section provided between the heel portion and the toe portion, the thickness of which decreases gradually from the heel portion to the toe portion. In the top view of a reference state in which the head is placed on a horizontal plane with a specified lie angle and loft angle, the thickness transition section extends as a smooth curve that protrudes towards the toe side.
