Together, they successfully extended PRG’s reach to over 3,500 golf retail accounts nationwide, significantly enhancing the brand’s visibility. “Our aim now is to expand our footprint in the U.S. market. With increased resources and an expanded sales team, we’re poised to build upon the outstanding foundation laid by PRG Americas,” said Stephen Riley, PRG Founder/Owner and PGA Professional. “Establishing our own presence in the USA marks a significant milestone for our business and fulfils a long-time aspiration we first established for the PRG brand in Northern Ireland back in 2006.”

Since 2020, PRG Golf has proudly served as an Official Team supplier for both Ryder Cup teams, a testament to the brand’s commitment to excellence and performance on the world stage. This partnership extends through 2025 at Bethpage showcasing the trust and confidence placed in PRG Golf’s product quality and exceptional service.

Chosen as the Official Team supplier for both teams, PRG created a wide range of team products, used by players and caddies throughout the event, along with exclusive fan merchandise which was available on-site at the 44th Ryder Cup. The entire week set a new record for Ryder Cup sales for PRG at the on-site Merchandise tent. “The Ryder Cup represents the pinnacle of golf competition, and to be entrusted with providing our products for the world’s best players for consecutive events is a true testament to the quality and performance of PRG Golf,” said Riley.
