The 2026 Presidents Cup uniforms put the Ryder Cup to shame

Despite having the weight of two multi-billion-dollar fashion juggernauts behind them, the 2025 Ryder Cup uniforms largely went down with a pretty muted reception.

Team USA's Ralph Lauren garbs once again laid it on a little too thick with the patriotic motifs, while the more understated, incredibly expensive Team Europe uniforms, designed by Italian luxury brand Loro Piana, came under fire for the second Ryder Cup running – this time for their construction and iffy collars.

This isn't a problem, however, likely to affect 2026's biggest team event. The 2026 Presidents Cup will return to American shores this year, seeing Team USA host a rest of the world team at Illinois's storied Medinah Country Club. 

While we're far from knowing the teams, apparel brand B.Draddy and outerwear manufacturers Zero Restriction are returning to provide the uniforms once again, and have just unveiled their final designs of what the teams, staff and caddies will wear for this year's showdown.

Known for their relaxed, modern take on classic country club style, the general aesthetic of B.Draddy is one of understated elegance. To borrow a phrase from the fashion world, one could even call it quiet luxury – not just because their clothes are generally more minimalist in nature, but make use of more luxurious fabrics that rely on the temperature-regulating benefits of natural fibres rather than synthetic materials. 

“It's a real honor to outfit these teams,” said Billy Draddy, Creative Director of Summit Golf Brands and Founder of B. Draddy. “Working with the captains meant a lot. These are guys that we look up to and have a lot of respect for, so working with them on the uniforms was really fulfilling. Being part of an international competition at this level makes it even more special.

“Throughout the process, our priority has been making sure both teams are represented well: that the players feel comfortable in what they’re wearing, that they look good, and that the product performs. It’s been an easy collaboration from start to finish. The PGA Tour is wonderful to work with, and we have a great relationship built around our products and the looks we put together. While every captain has been different, those collaborations have always come easily as well.”

B.Draddy's collections are known for their heavy lean on natural fibres, with polos typically featuring soft cotton and blended performance fabrics to blur the lines between sport and lifestyle wear. Their knitwear is also crafted from Italian merino wool and Scottish cashmere, with some layering pieces designed with added stretch and materials engineered for breathability and warmth.

All of this lends the collection an aesthetic far more akin to the golf clothes of the game's golden era – back before polyester began its invasion of the game and the 1/4 zip pullover was ever a thing. It's no co-incidence that one of the PGA Tour's most stylish players, Victor Perez, plies his trade in B.Draddy garb.

Much like last year's Walker Cup uniforms, the Presidents Cup uniforms rely on minimalist insignia, smart prints and a patriotic pallette of red, white and blue for the US team, offset against the black and gold of the Internationals.
