Do big-name sponsors give Scottie Scheffler an unfair advantage at the Presidents Cup?

The team uniforms for the 2024 Presidents Club have finally been revealed! The US Team and the International Team will battle it out at The Royal Montreal Golf Club from 24th September to 29th September. B. Draddy and Zero Restriction, part of the Summit Golf Brands, made the kits for the week-long event at The Royal Montreal Golf Club. “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 & CEO of Summit Golf Brands.

B. Draddy and Zero Restriction will design kits for the teams, caddies, and staff for the biennial team golf extravaganza. The two brands have unique identities and visions which are reflected in their collection. B. Draddy wanted to create a better cotton polo, only to now boast a full collection of luxury essentials for men and women. The brand uses some of the most premium materials to make its products, like Peruvian Pima cotton and Merino wool from Italy. Zero Restriction, on the other hand, aimed to create a waterproof yet breathable jacket that delivers peak performance on the course. Let us take a closer look at what the two brands have come up with for the 2024 Presidents Cup.

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. The team captains have worked in collaboration with the brands, and the result is a bespoke line of clothing that is both functional and striking. The teams will each have 27 pieces in their collection, comprising polos, crewnecks, vests, hoodies, pullovers, jackets, hats, and a pant.
