ProQuip to provide European Ryder Cup rainwear in 2012

ProQuip will once again provide the weatherwear to the European Ryder Cup team next year after playing a key role in the win at Celtic Manor in 2010.

The company will exclusively design the outerwear outfits for Jose Maria Olazabal’s team at Medinah, after being involved in many previous events with the European team.

Last year the rainsuits worn by either team played a crucial role in the outcome of the event with the European team’s garments performing superbly in wet conditions while the American outfits were unable to cope with the deluge.

Richard Head, chief designer at ProQuip, said: “ProQuip has designed rain suits for over a dozen Ryder Cup and Solheim Cup teams since 1991, and we are looking forward to working with José Maria Olazábal to ensure his men are equipped with the best products in their quest to retain The Ryder Cup.”

Head continued: “The last Ryder Cup in Wales was phenomenal for ProQuip and we were proud to play a role as The European Team secured victory in dramatic circumstances.

“Producing weatherwear to the very highest technical standards has always been of paramount importance to ProQuip and we are proud to be a long term Preferred Supplier to Ryder Cup Teams. It is always a great privilege and honour to play a part in the greatest team event in golf, and we are already looking forward to next year’s event in the USA.”
