Classic USPGA Outfits Over the Years
Payne Stewart
Payne Stewart sporting the colours of the Chicago Bears en route to victory in 1989
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, Payne Stewart had a contract with the NFL to sport the colours of the team closest to that week’s tournament venue. The 1989 USPGA was played at Kemper Lakes, Illinois and a combination of a very strong finish by Stewart and a late collapse by Mike Reid paved the way to him claiming the first of his three Majors sporting the colours of the Chicago Bears. The first of our classic USPGA outfits.
Colin Montgomerie

Tiger Woods
Final-day red with a twist for Tiger in 1999
Plain red would become Tiger’s trademark final-day colour, but when he claimed the first of his four USPGAs at Medinah in 1999 there was a little more going on than just straight red.
Shingo Katayama
Shingo came close to victory in 2001, eventually finishing 4th
Shingo Katayama never fails to deliver on the style front, but in 2001 at Atlanta Athletic Club he challenged strongly for the title too, leading after round two and going on to finish 4th.
