It seems like just yesterday we were at Bethpage Black for the 45th Ryder Cup, but almost one year later means it’s time for the Presidents Cup.
The 2026 Presidents Cup returns to Medinah Country Club from September 22–27. This page will be updated throughout the lead-up to the tournament with the latest team news, standings, uniforms, captain’s picks, schedule and other important developments as they happen.

August 5, 2026 — Presidents Cup Team Uniforms Unveiled
The first bit of exciting news leading up to the Presidents Cup is the official announcement of the U.S. and International Team uniforms.
The Presidents Cup and Summit Golf Brands have unveiled the official U.S. and International Team uniforms for the 2026 Presidents Cup at Medinah Country Club, where B. Draddy and Zero Restriction will outfit both teams, along with their captains, caddies and support staff throughout tournament week.
The collection includes seven days of on-course apparel along with off-course pieces, including polos, cashmere sweaters, crewnecks, quarter-zips, sport vests and technical outerwear. Every item features Presidents Cup branding alongside the U.S. flag or the International Team shield.
According to Billy Draddy, founder of B. Draddy and creative director of Summit Golf Brands, the goal throughout the design process was straightforward. “Our priority has been making sure both teams are represented well: that the players feel comfortable in what they’re wearing, that they look good, and that the product performs.”
The U.S. collection leans into a classic red, white and blue palette, while the International Team collection adopts a striking black and gold color scheme inspired by the International Team Shield.
First Impressions
In advance of the tournament, I had the opportunity to check out two pieces from the U.S. Team collection. The Russ Crewneck and the Cool Duke Polo did not disappoint, but, admittedly I wasn’t surprised.
The entire collection was designed by B. Draddy and Zero Restriction, which if you’ve been following The Golf Player, you already know I’m a big fan of both brands. Their quality is second to none and both have managed to elevate the Presidents Cup uniforms beyond feeling like licensed merchandise with a logo applied afterward.
The standout piece for me is the Cool Duke Polo. It uses B. Draddy’s signature COOL FABRIC, a subtly textured performance fabric that reduces the amount of material resting against the skin to improve airflow. Earlier this summer I tested another COOL FABRIC polo from B. Draddy on a particularly sizzling day in Los Angeles and came away genuinely impressed by how breathable and lightweight it remained throughout the round. I was excited to see the same fabric carried over into the Presidents Cup collection. Paired with an understated U.S. flag embroidered on the chest and Presidents Cup branding on the left sleeve, the polo reads more as golf fashion than uniform.
The Russ Crewneck feels like it was made to be lived in. While technically a crewneck, it incorporates a discreet kangaroo pouch making the otherwise preppy style feel sporty and fresh. What stood out most was the construction. Angled stitching extends from the front pouch around the back of the garment, creating a subtle athletic shape without drawing attention to itself. It’s a thoughtful design detail that elevates what could otherwise have been a simple logo sweatshirt.
While the American collection stays true to traditional red, white and blue, I also found myself drawn to the International Team line. The black and gold palette feels distinctive without being loud. My favorites from the International collection are the Everyday Vest and the International Polo, though the entire collection maintains the same striking aesthetic.
