On Tuesday morning, the Ryder Cup shop in Rome was a hive of activity.
The fans were still able to take home souvenirs, despite the high prices. How do you feel when you see 88 euro tees and 139 euros polos?
Overall, the selection of items is disappointing. It’s the same old stuff – polos and hats. Quarter zips, hoodies, headcovers, and accessories that you’ll see at any tournament. G/Fore’s CIAO hat, scarf and soccer jersey are my favorites. What is the most unusual product for sale? My favorite item is the Ryder Cup bathrobe with logo. Who knew that we needed such a thing? There are many big brands, including Nike and Peter Millar, but also Chervo, a local favorite, and Euro favorites like Sunderland and Glenmuir, as well as Abacus, Sunderland and Glenmuir.
The Ryder Cup Shop learned from Augusta National’s experts and now offers UPS shipping to those who do not want to carry their purchases around the course or home. This is a great idea.
Here is a list of the top Ryder Cup merchandise being sold at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club this week.
