2026 Open Championship Scripting: Everything the pros are wearing at Royal Birkdale

The Open Championship is always a style-forward affair, with the changeable conditions of the British summer often asking players and brands to explore golf styles from every season.

With hot, firm and fast conditions expected this weekend at Royal Birkdale, outer layers are probably going to be a rare sight. However there will be plenty of great outfits on show all the same, with brands like Peter Millar, adidas and Malbon revealing the garms their headline players will be rocking at the final major of the year.

Read on to see all the outfits and apparel trends we're set to see over the weekend.

Ludvig Åberg - adidas

It's a typically clean wardrobe for the Swede this weekend, with reserved shades of pink, grey and white and sharp geometric patterns adding a point of difference. He'll be grounded by the sporty silhouette of the Adizero ZG golf shoe.

Sam Burns - Peter Millar

Burns' wardrobe for Royal Birkdale is a perfect fit for the conditions, with muted greens, khaki and mottled browns forming a colour palette very similar to the condition Royal Birkdale is in right now. 

Burns' scripting is also introducing some new seasonal pieces from Peter Millar, including the Excursionist Flex Alpine Five-Pocket, and the Bingham Trousers, which are made from a unique performance corduroy that combines flex with texture.

Jason Day - Malbon Golf

Day has already caught eyes this week with an eye-catching get-up for Wedensday's practice round, and true to form, Malbon have pulled out all the stops for the Australian's scripting this weekend. The collection has a distinctly autumnal palette, with neutral hues of white, grey and cream bouncing off burnt orange, maroon and brown. 

Ryan Gerard - Peter Millar

Cool blues, whites and creams form the theme for Ryan Gerard's Open Wardrobe, with a heavy emphasis placed on natural fibres throughout – a prevailing theme in golf fashion this year. 

The 25th Anniversary Cashmere quarter-zip will debut in Gerard's outfit on Thursday, while the collection is grounded in the performance-oriented Crown Crafted polo for easy layering as the weather gets warmer.

Rasmus Højgaard - adidas

Vivid colours and subtle prints are the order of the weekend for Rasmus Hojgaard, with a wardrobe grounded in clean stripes and the geometric pattern of the Ultimate365 Tour Deco polo shirt. Uniquely, he'll be wearing the Retrocross Gripmore golf sneaker, which has a trainer-inspired silhouette with an aggressive lugged outsole for grip on the course.

Viktor Hovland - J.Lindeberg

Hovland raised eyebrows with his striped pants at the U.S. Open, but his J.Lindeberg scripting for this weekend is a little more subtle. A lavender polo kicks things off in a vibrant way for Thursday, before the wardrobe shifts to a range of different brindle and black pieces for the weekend, with J.Lindeberg's classic lean on geometric shapes, technical fabrics and bold branding.

Collin Morikawa - adidas

Pastels and deep neutrals ground Morikawa's scripting for this weekend, the American leaning into his preference for subtle floral patterns and prints to convey his sense of style, while fabrics like the Butterspun material of the Ultimate365+ Climacool polo provide soft, luxurious breathability. As ever, he'll be taking to course in a special spiked version of the Adizero ZG shoe.

Jordan Smith - Peter Millar

A palette of muted blues, greys and neutral tones nod to the rolling waters of the Irish Sea in Smith's wardrobe this weekend. The scripting places an emphasis on textures and fabric that look and feel luxurious while providing the stretch and breathability to perform out on the course, from the soft performance fabrics of the Crown Crafted polo collection to the buttery cashmere of the Artisan Crafted quarter-zip.

Cameron Young - Peter Millar

Young's wardrobe also plays with various shades of blue, grounded with crisp creams, greys and earthy brown. Elevated sweaters and layers, such as cashmere quarter-zips and wool jumpers, feature prominently as a nod to golf’s old-school style, as well as a functional aid against the breezes off the Irish Sea. The Surge Trouser prevails across all four days, grounding each outfit with a clean, tailored silhouette.
