Team USA has always aimed for style at the Ryder Cup.
Last month, the squad unveiled its uniforms to take on Team Europe this weekend at Bethpage Golf Course. Festooned in red, white and blue unis designed by Ralph Lauren, Team USA looks like it’s more than prepared to bring a Ryder Cup title back to the States.
Look good, feel good, play good 🇺🇸

While the colors of Old Glory have been a reliable go-to for Ryder Cup uniforms over the years, designers haven’t been afraid to go in some interesting directions. Here are the uniforms Team USA has worn at the Ryder Cup since the turn of the century.
2002
Golfers had the option of red or white shirts on Day 1, and white or black shirts with white stripes on Day 2. An optional blue vest completed the look on Day 3.
