The Ryder Cup is one of golf’s greatest biennial events, offering spectators an exciting blend of tradition, talent, and sportsmanship. If you’re lucky enough to attend the 2025 event, deciding what to wear is a vital part of the planning process.
Getting your outfit right matters more than you might think. You'll spend three full days walking miles across the course, so you want to stay comfortable but also be dressed appropriately for this special occasion.
In this guide, we’ll share advice on what to wear so you can look the part and enjoy every swing and putt of the 2025 Ryder Cup.
What to Consider When Packing for the 2025 Ryder CupThis year, the competition is back on American soil and will take place from September 26-28 at the legendary Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York. Before you start throwing clothes into your suitcase, keep these three main factors in mind:
Our 2025 Ryder Cup Glenmuir collection is filled with practical and stylish staples that are perfect for Bethpage Black. Let's break down the best choices for both men and women attending this year's tournament. |
What Should Men Wear to the Ryder Cup
Men's Ryder Cup attire should balance smart-casual style with all-day comfort. The Glenmuir Men’s Ryder Cup collection includes high-quality clothing with classic golf-inspired designs, perfect for both the course and the clubhouse.
Tops
A good polo shirt is a staple for any Ryder Cup outfit. These shirts provide the breathability you need while maintaining the smart appearance expected at prestigious golf events.
Whether you prefer a bold print polo shirt that makes a statement or a classic royal blue polo shirt that shows off a more traditional look, polos are versatile enough to offer you a sharp yet easygoing look. In our Ryder Cup Glenmuir Men's collection, we have plenty of great options.
Our recommendation: The g.RYDER CUP TORRANCE Striped Polo Shirt and the g.RYDER CUP MAX Long Sleeve Polo Shirt are made from performance polyester with moisture-wicking properties to keep you comfy throughout the day.
Bottoms
Pairing your outfit with the right trousers or shorts is just as important as choosing a smart collar polo shirt. Neutral chinos or tailored golf shorts are ideal, offering comfort for walking the course while keeping your look polished. Opt for breathable fabrics to stay cool, especially during long match days.
Our recommendation: The g.ROSS Lightweight Golf Trousers look great and will suit most weather conditions at the 2025 Ryder Cup.
Mid-Layers
Layering will keep you cosy when the temperature dips or the wind picks up. Our Ryder Cup fanwear men's collection includes practical yet stylish options designed for comfort on and off the course. A 1/4 zip midlayer is a great choice, offering warmth without bulk and the flexibility to adjust as the day goes on.
Our recommendation: With its 100% combed cotton composition, you cannot go wrong with the g.RYDER CUP DEVON Quarter Zip Cotton Golf Sweater. If you're looking for something a bit more casual, you may be interested in the g.RYDER CUP CAMERON Hooded Mid-Layer.
Outerwear
Bethpage Black’s weather can be unpredictable, so bring lightweight jackets, gilets, or waterproofs that allow easy movement. Pack layers you can easily add or remove as the conditions change. Our range of men's outerwear offers everything you need for the 2025 Ryder Cup.
Our recommendation: Protect yourself from the elements with our g.RYDER CUP ARDEN Padded Performance Jacket or our s. RYDER CUP WHISPERDRY STEALTHY Waterproof Jacket.
What Should Women Wear To The Ryder Cup?
Women have plenty of stylish options for the Ryder Cup, often choosing colours like white, blue, or red to show support for the U.S. or European teams. While it’s tempting to go bold, aim for a casual yet put-together look that keeps you comfortable.
From classic polos to caps, our 2025 Ryder Cup Glenmuir women's collection provides plenty of options for showing support while maintaining that perfect balance of style and practicality.
Tops
Women's Ryder Cup tops should prioritise breathability and comfort above all else. Think polo shirts, lightweight long-sleeve options, and subtle team-coloured pieces. Look for fabrics that wick moisture away from your skin during those warm afternoon periods.
Our recommendation: For sunny days, the g.RYDER CUP STELLA Performance Golf Shirt is the perfect choice, while the g.RYDER CUP MISHA Long Sleeve Golf Shirt is ideal for breezier afternoons.
Bottoms
Modern golf fashion gives women great flexibility in choosing between tailored shorts, skirts, or comfortable trousers. Since you'll spend considerable time walking Bethpage Black's challenging layout, prioritise breathable fabrics and flexible fits over fashion statements.
Neutral tones (like white, beige, blue, and black) or subtle team colours work best to complement tops while keeping your look polished and practical.
Our recommendation: The g.KALEY Lightweight Golf Trousers will serve you well on the Ryder Cup's cooler days, while the g.EMELI Golf Skort (available in navy and light blue) is the best choice for sunny days.
Mid-Layers
When the weather turns cooler at Bethpage Black, having a lightweight mid-layer is essential. Options like zip-up jumpers or pullovers provide warmth without restricting movement. Mid-layers also give flexibility, so you can easily adjust as the day warms up or the wind picks up.
Our recommendation: The g. RYDER CUP CARINA Performance Golf Midlayer is soft, comfortable, and perfect for the occasion.
Outerwear
A dependable jacket is another key clothing item for the unpredictable weather at the 2025 Ryder Cup. Hybrid jackets that combine warmth and breathability offer both style and function. Our ladies' Ryder Cup outerwear range is designed for the event but also works for playing golf or attending other tournaments.
Our recommendation: Stay warm in the g.RYDER CUP SAMARA Heavyweight Golf Jacket and keep the rain off with the s.RYDER CUP WHISPERDRY AURORA Waterproof Golf Jacket.
Accessories
The right accessories can greatly improve your comfort at the 2025 Ryder Cup.
Comfortable, moisture-wicking socks help keep your feet dry and prevent blisters during long walks around the course. A lightweight, durable bag is useful for carrying essentials like water, snacks, sunscreen, and a small umbrella.
For headwear, pack both a sun hat and a beanie to cover chilly mornings and sunny afternoons. Our g.RYDER CUP COWAN Golf Cap and g.RYDER CUP LEXI Visor will keep the sun out of your eyes, while the g.RYDER CUP MALABAR Bobble Hat and the g.RYDER CUP KIRUNA Faux Fur Bobble Hat will keep your ears warm.
Footwear
You’ll be on your feet for hours at a time, often walking across uneven ground, so comfort should always come first. Supportive trainers, golf-inspired casual shoes, or lightweight walking shoes are all great options.
It’s important to note that spiked golf shoes are not allowed for spectators, as they can damage the course and make walking uncomfortable. Instead, look for cushioned soles and breathable materials to keep your feet happy throughout the day.
A reliable pair of shoes will help you focus on the action without worrying about sore feet or blisters.
