Ebony Greens, a Black-owned golf apparel brand redefining modern golf culture, proudly participates in the African American Golf EXPO & Forum during PGA Show week. The brand introduces a bold vision for the future of golf—one rooted in heritage, representation, and performance-driven design.
Founded to honor the legacy of minority golfers while creating space for the next generation, Ebony Greens exists at the intersection of culture, lifestyle, and sport. The brand blends technical golf performance with Afrocentric storytelling, delivering apparel that looks intentional on the course and powerful off it. Each collection is designed not simply to be worn—but to represent.
“Golf has always been about tradition,” said Roderick Shawn Summerville, Founder & CEO of Ebony GreensTM.
“Ebony Greens is about expanding that tradition—making the course a place where culture, history, and excellence coexist.”
What Makes Ebony Greens Unique: Authentic cultural representation inspired by African heritage and Black golf history; performance-first construction designed for comfort, mobility, and modern athletes; and inclusive storytelling that connects underserved communities to the game.
Looking Ahead: The Links to Our Roots — 2026. At the EXPO, Ebony Greens previews its 2026 design direction through The Links to Our Roots—an annual concept exploring the dual meaning of “links”: the fairways we play and the ancestral ties that ground us. The first micro-collection, Heritage on the Green, blends retro-geometric prints, aerial landscape views, and modern golf silhouettes to create a collection that is both timeless and forward.
As Ebony Greens continues to grow, its presence at the African American Golf EXPO & Forum underscores the brand’s commitment to shaping a more inclusive future for golf—one that honors the past, reflects the present, and invites more voices to the table. Because when we step onto the green, we bring more than our game—we bring our roots.
