FRISCO, Texas – Golf industry professionals attending the 2026 PGA Buying Summit, July 26-29, at the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa, will experience Spring 2027 golf fashion from every angle—seeing apparel in motion on the runway, discovering emerging brands influencing golf’s evolving style culture and exploring nearly 200 golf apparel, accessory and lifestyle collections throughout exhibit ballrooms.
Designed for retailers preparing future assortments, the PGA Buying Summit offers an early preview of Spring 2027 collections from established market leaders and emerging brands. Buyers can evaluate apparel in motion during the annual Fashion Show, connect directly with participating exhibitors, and discover the products, trends and merchandising strategies shaping the next season of golf retail before they reach the market.
“The PGA Buying Summit gives buyers the opportunity to evaluate Spring 2027 collections in ways they simply can’t anywhere else,” said Lisa Langas. “From seeing apparel in motion on the runway to discovering emerging brands and connecting directly with exhibitors, attendees gain the perspective they need to make more confident buying decisions for the season ahead.”
Fashion Show Brings Spring 2027 Collections to Life
The annual PGA Buying Summit Fashion Show returns Tuesday, July 28, from 6:00–6:30 p.m. in the Panther Creek Pavilion at the Omni PGA Frisco Resort & Spa. The Fashion Show Reception, sponsored by RepSpark, will take place from 5:30–7:00 p.m. surrounding the runway presentation.
Showcasing Spring 2027 golf apparel, accessories and emerging style trends, the runway presentation enables buyers and industry professionals to evaluate fit, movement, styling and presentation in ways that cannot be replicated on a rack, in a catalog or through product photography alone. The live showcase provides valuable perspective on how collections perform in motion while offering an early view of the trends expected to influence golf retail in the season ahead. The surrounding reception provides another opportunity to compare impressions from the day’s collections, discuss emerging trends and continue conversations that help inform buying decisions for the season ahead.
The runway presentation will feature Spring 2027 collections from designers including A. Putnam, Birdie Brand, Club Special, Dolcezza Golfwear, Elfaromada, Flag & Anthem Golf, Good Good Golf, HeadGolf, Hooey Brands, Soneven and Tipsy Elves, showcasing a diverse mix of established and emerging golf apparel and accessory brands. Attendees also will help recognize standout collections by participating in the annual Fashion Show People’s Choice Awards, casting votes for Best Dressed, Best Men’s Brand and Best Women’s Brand. Winners will be announced during the reception immediately following the runway showcase.
The Next Drop Explores Golf’s Evolving Style Culture
Before the Fashion Show Reception and runway showcase, attendees are invited to The Next Drop Social, a new networking experience celebrating the independent brands, emerging ideas and cultural influences shaping what’s next in golf style.
Presented as part of The Next Drop: Golf Style & Culture Experiences Presented by Gwop Meet, the social gathering brings together brands, creators and industry professionals for conversation and discovery. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet founders, exchange ideas and gain firsthand insight into what’s influencing the next generation of golf apparel and lifestyle brands.
Featured brands such as AIEA Golf, Birdies & Buckets and Fella Golf provide attendees with the opportunity to connect directly with the people behind the brands while discovering the ideas influencing tomorrow’s golf consumer.
Nearly 200 Brands Showcase What’s Next in Golf Retail
Beyond the runway, attendees can continue product discovery across nearly 200 golf apparel, accessory and lifestyle exhibitors showcasing collections spanning two resort ballrooms on July 28–29. Reflecting golf’s ongoing cultural evolution, participating companies range from next-generation lifestyle brands such as Quiet Golf, Devereux Golf, Palm Golf Company and Students Golf to crossover and contemporary apparel labels including Fabletics, Tommy John, Tuckernuck and UNRL, and anchored by established industry leaders including J.LINDEBERG, Greyson Clothiers, Holderness & Bourne, HUGO BOSS and Johnnie-O.
Together, the runway, the Next Drop showcase, and exhibitors provide buyers with an opportunity to compare Spring 2027 collections, identify emerging merchandising opportunities and discover companies consumers may not yet know—but soon will. Combined with ONE2ONE buyer appointments, educational programming and daily networking events, the PGA Buying Summit helps retailers make more informed buying decisions while building assortments for the season ahead.
