Ryder Cup team to wear ProQuip golf apparel

13/08/2012

Golfwear manufacturer ProQuip is to outfit competitors at the 2014 European Ryder Cup Team at Gleneagles, Scotland.

It will supply its 20th Ryder Cup waterproof suit when the biennial match between Europe and the US returns to Scotland, in two years' time.

The 2014 Ryder Cup will mark the 31st anniversary of ProQuip's involvement in the Ryder Cup. The company was first selected to design rain suits for the 1983 US team, captained by Jack Nicklaus, at the PGA National Golf Club, Florida.

Since then, it has been selected as the preferred supplier to six American teams and 12 European teams.

This includes a new high-performance rain suit designed for José María Olazábal's European Team at Medinah Country Club, Chicago on September 25-30.

ProQuip general manager Russell Brooks said: "ProQuip has remained committed to developing its own, exclusively produced fabrics, and golfers will soon be able to experience for themselves the technology in this year's Ryder Cup team weatherwear, when the soft, quiet and super-breathable Trophy Suit is launched in September."
