What should you wear to watch the Ryder Cup to support your country or continent?
What’s the proper way to dress to watch the action at the Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York? From September 26-8.
There or watching it at home? How do you fly the flag?
Some might opt for just a MAGMA cap, a patriotic Stars n Stripes snapback trucker cap, or a Pars ‘n’ Stripes skort or Bars ‘n’ Stripes Bermudas.
Others might prefer Royal & Awesome Shamrock shorts or a pair of Eurostar plus-fours and Union Jack pants.
Others may prefer the full-on, All-American Loudmouth Look. To release their inner rowdiness and latent rowdiness.
Whether you have tickets or are just watching at home, you should not hide your allegiances. You must show who you are rooting for. Fanwear is crucial.
There’s no strict dress code to watch the biennial USA v Europe golf contest. Indoors or out.
The choice of what to wear is still either mainstream or OTT. Discreetly nationalistic, understatedly patriotic, or spectacularly partisan. Sober or brazen. But never neutral.
The Scottish firm Glenmuir is the official licensee of the Ryder Cup and offers women’s and men’s polos, sleeveless pullovers, half-knits, and clobber, including, for those who want to wear their hearts and allegiances on their sleeves, Welsh Dragon, tartan, Saltire, and St George’s Cross motifs.
Ralph Lauren is the official outfitter of the US Ryder Cup team, providing both practice and on-the-course uniforms as well as outerwear and tailored clothing for the opening ceremony and welcome dinner. The brand will also dress all caddies, spouses, and partners of the U.S. Team, including the U.S. team captain and Ralph Lauren Ryder Cup ambassador, Keegan Bradley.
Unsurprisingly, the 2025 U.S. Team’s on-course uniforms feature a palette of red, white, and blue in performance fabrics. There will be both layering and weather-resistant pieces, including cashmere hoodies, technical vests, half-zips, and wind-resistant jackets. Each garment will offer advanced moisture-wicking technology, technical stretch, and breathable fabrications.
“It’s the best of the best of American style,” Bradley comments. “The classic American flag sweater piece is a classic and a favorite. I love the red, white, and blue, of course. It’s always exciting to be wearing the uniform as a team, which is so unique to the Ryder Cup. And even more exciting this year.”
“It is an extraordinary honor to outfit the U.S. Ryder Cup Team as they represent our country at the most exciting event in the world of golf,” adds David Lauren, chief branding and innovation officer of Ralph Lauren. “And with the tournament coming back to New York for the first time in decades, Bethpage is going to be explosive. Defining the look and style of the U.S. to match that energy, while honoring the timeless style and heritage of the game, is what we set out to do. These are the best golfers in the world, and we want them to step onto the course — together — looking and feeling their absolute best.”
For fans, the company is also producing a commemorative collection of men’s and women’s RLX apparel that will include a navy and red satin jacket featuring embroidered New York and golfing motifs and the brand’s signature Polo Bear outfitted in the U.S. Team uniform standing before Bethpage Black’s legendary course signs. There will also be novelty prints and graphics such as the 13th Man camp shirt — a printed statement piece that honors fans as the unofficial “13th player” on the team.
The Ryder Cup collection will be sold on the brand’s website, the Ryder Cup site, select golf clubs, resorts, and stores, as well as Bloomingdale’s. The Bethpage Golf Shop will also sell the RLX Ralph Lauren seasonal collection, along with the U.S. Team uniforms and fan collection.
Fans can also support Keegan by wearing apparel from Flag and Anthem, his PGA Tour clothes provider.
Europe’s captain, Luke Donald, has Greyson as his clothes sponsor is Greyson, whose range of polos includes Gannet, Black Diamond, and Hawthorn twinned with Amagansett cotton twill trousers. As well as the women’s Halley striped Windsor polo.
