Philly sports gear, cheesesteak head covers, and our favorite finds in the massive PGA Championship merchandise tent
It won’t be hard to spot the 50,000-square-foot PGA Shop when you enter the grounds at Aronimink.
As soon as spectators make their way through the entrance at Aronimink Golf Club for the PGA Championship, it won’t be hard to spot the 50,000-square-foot merchandise tent to their left.
Entering the tent felt almost as if you were entering the closet to Narnia — especially if you’re a golf fanatic. And being in the shop makes you feel almost as if money doesn’t matter — almost.
You’re welcomed by the smiling faces of the PGA volunteers handing out bags that will be filled by the end of the trip. And there’s a DJ playing a mix of songs, including Olivia Dean’s “Man I Need,” perhaps a nod to the recently eliminated Flyers.
As you make your way past the DJ booth, there’s a number of items that will catch your attention. And just when you think the tent is going to end, there’s another section of merchandise that you need to walk through.
The tent featured a variety of apparel lines to choose from — including brands like Peter Millar, Nike, Ralph Lauren, Adidas, Cutter & Buck, Under Armour, Vineyard Vines, and more.

But some of our favorites were their Philly-themed accessories. There were Philly cheesesteak and Benjamin Franklin driver head covers, and others decorated with Philly monuments.
There were also a lot of Philly-themed clothing pieces, including Philly hats, a Lululemon golf shirt, which had different Philly icons printed on it, and a “Go Bird-ie-s” kelly green Under Armour T-shirt, which may have been one of my favorites.
And if you were looking for some Phillies gear, the tent had you covered.
Some of our favorites included the PGA Aronimink crew neck sweater with the Phillies logo on the sleeve.
But the main star was the Cutter & Buck powder blue quarter zip. If you see this and don’t walk out with it, there’s something wrong with you — or you’re just being financially responsible. So, good for you.
If you don’t have a ticket and can’t make it to the PGA Shop at Aronimink, some of the gear — including the “Go Bird-ie-s” T-shirt — can be found online.
