Ralph Lauren to outfit US Ryder Cup team

US fashion brand Ralph Lauren has agreed a deal with the PGA of America to be the official outfitter of the 2014 United States Ryder Cup golf team.

A sponsor of the 2014 US captain Tom Watson for more than 20 years, Ralph Lauren will design the official uniforms to be worn by the American golfers at the 40th edition of the Ryder Cup, which takes place from September 23-28 at Gleneagles in Perthshire, Scotland.

For the first time, the USA’s Ryder Cup clothing will be available for purchase through Ralph Lauren’s online store and from selected retailers. A portion of the proceeds will go towards the 41 PGA Sections, which teach and manage golf throughout the United States.

Watson began his partnership with Ralph Lauren as a Polo Golf Ambassador in 1993, the same year he captained the US to its last overseas Ryder Cup triumph.
