Here Are the Ugliest Ryder Cup Uniforms of All Time
To quote an old joke, “The reason most people play golf is to wear clothes they would not be caught dead in otherwise.”
It’s a savage barb, but there's evidence to support it. One only needs to take a peek over the fence at their local club or tune into any tour event to see men and women in funny pants chasing a little ball around a lawn.
For nearly a century, the biennial Ryder Cup has treated fans to one of the world’s great sporting spectacles—and at times the game’s worst fashion show. A dozen men from Europe face off against a squad from the U.S., while occasionally having questionable sartorial decisions forced upon them as a group. As a 12-pack, mistakes tend to echo.
The uniforms aren’t always terrible, but they are rarely good. Sometimes they rise to the level of entirely warranted ridicule and that’s why we are here. So without further ado here are the nine worst Ryder Cup uniforms.
