Cup Uniforms

- — J. E. P.

There may be a fierce rivalry when the U. S. and the Internatio­nal golf teams square off in the Presidents Cup in September, but one thing they'll have in common is their uniform provider. B. Draddy and

Zero Restrictio­n are the Official Apparel Providers for both teams in the tournament, which will be held Sept. 24 to 29 at the Royal Montreal Golf Club in Canada.

The brands, both divisions of Summit Golf Brands, will dress the players, caddies and the staff with uniforms and outerwear for the entire week and the various events that will be held. They will be provided with collared polos, golf sweaters, pants and Zero Restrictio­n rain gear and jackets, all of which will be embroidere­d with the Presidents Cup logo and correspond­ing team shield or flag.

The collection­s will also be made available to consumers and fans can purchase the line on the B. Draddy, Zero Restrictio­n, Presidents Cup or Fanatics websites as well on site in the 30,000- squarefoot Fan Shop during the tournament.

“After months of planning, fine-tuning design details, and collaborat­ing with the PGA Tour, Presidents Cup, and Fanatics teams to ensure a successful rollout, I couldn't be more excited for our Presidents Cup uniforms and apparel collection to finally be launching today,” said Chad Delp, president and chief executive officer of Summit Golf Brands. “Having the opportunit­y to outfit some of the world's best golfers with B. Draddy and Zero Restrictio­n during an event as prestigiou­s as the Presidents Cup is truly an honor, and with today's launch, I'm thrilled that fans will now be able to wear the same uniforms as the competitor­s, whether on their local golf course or while cheering from behind the ropes at Royal Montreal this September.”

“Summit Golf Brands has been fantastic to work with in creating the 2024 Internatio­nal team uniforms and has done a wonderful job incorporat­ing our colors and the team shield,” said Internatio­nal team captain Mike Weir. “I wanted to pay homage to Canada as well, so we were able to incorporat­e some elements into the design to help represent our passionate host country for 2024. We are excited to showcase a strong collection of apparel and hope fans will come out showing their support for the Internatio­nal team wearing black, yellow and the shield.”

“As an ambassador, I am proud to have worked closely with Summit Golf Brands to develop the

U. S. Team uniforms for the 2024 Presidents Cup,” said U. S. team captain Jim Furyk. “Summit features some of the most stylish, comfortabl­e and quality apparel I've worn in my career and I'm thrilled to see the finished product come to life. My goal was to make the uniforms simple, functional, and comfortabl­e, and Summit Brands has delivered on every aspect of that mission for us.”

After it signed the deal to be the official apparel providers for the 2024 tournament, Furyk was signed as an ambassador, joining 2021 FedEx Cup champion Patrick Cantlay and 2023 Open champion Brian Harman as well as Christiaan Bezuidenho­ut, Taylor Moore, Zac Blair, Victor Perez, Leona

Maguire, Cheyenne Knight and other profession­al golfers.

B. Draddy launched 11 years ago with one polo and now offers a full collection of essentials for men and women. Zero Restrictio­n traces its history to 1991 when it began making waterproof outerwear for golfers.
