From fans to media members, tour pros and the Ryder Cup players themselves, the golf world simply can’t wait for it to begin.
Even the game’s equipment and fashion manufacturers are excited. In fact, they’re showing that excitement through terrific Ryder Cup-inspired products and limited editions. Here’s the coolest Ryder Cup golf gear being promoted ahead of the 2014 Ryder Cup:

And, how about this patriotic push from Jones Sports Co., makers of fine golf bags. #TeamWatson, indeed:
Oakley put together these absolutely fantastic shoes for Bubba Watson and I, for one, remain very jealous. Good looking bag he’s got there, too:
