Ralph Lauren expands PGA of America association

Fashion brand Ralph Lauren has been named as an official partner and outfitter of the PGA of America.

Under Ralph Lauren’s agreement the brand will be associated with the USPGA Championship major tournament and the United States team at the Ryder Cup for six years, through to 2020.
