Glenmuir’s Managing Director, Mikhel Ruia said: “Glenmuir focus on crafting the finest golfwear designed to perform in varying playing conditions and climates. The matches really tested the thermo regulating properties of our moisture wicking performance shirts as well as our lightweight merino knitwear allowing the GB&I team to maintain comfortable and well ventilated in temperatures which reached 100 degrees F in CordeValle, California. The Sunderland of Scotland outerwear layering items played a key role in allowing the players to warm up on the range and practice days. We are one of the last remaining truly British golf brands and we see ourselves as the team behind the team, which really motivates our 95-strong workforce here in Lanark, Scotland.”

The PGA is proud to enjoy a longstanding relationship with Glenmuir and Sunderland of Scotland and we look forward to future successes both on and off the course.”

Commenting on the matches GB&I Team Captain Jon Bevan of Rhos on Sea Golf Club, North Wales remarked: “Our overseas success was down to many things. One of which was the wonderful apparel we wore for the match. The standard and styling of all the clothing was only matched by the wonderful location and the team’s performance. Our players adored the powerful colours, stylish embroidery and the feeling of dressing for success. We would all put our stamp of approval and trust in Glenmuir & Sunderland of Scotland clothing.” Vice-Captain Albert Mackenzie of Saunton Golf Club, Devon added: “To be victorious was always going to be special but to be victorious accompanied by comfortable and stylish elegance made the victory all the sweeter. It was a privilege for us all to be draped in Glenmuir and Sunderland of Scotland.”
