AND I'M JOINED BY MIKE QUIRK.
YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF ALL OF THE
MERCHANDISE HERE.
AND IT IS A BIG PRODUCTION, AND
YOU EVEN INFLUXED SOME
MINNESOTA FLAVOR INSIDE.
WE DO.
AND ESPECIALLY THE RYDER CUP
BEING HERE IN MINNESOTA, TO
PIGGY BACK WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT
THE HOCKEY JERSEY, CAN'T COME
TO MINNESOTA WITHOUT DOING
SOMETHING AROUND HOCKEY.
Reporter: IT'S REALLY HARD
TO SEE JUST HOW BIG THIS SHOP
IS FROM WHERE WE'RE STANDING.
SO HOW MUCH MERCHANDISE DO YOU
GUYS HAVE IN HERE?
YOU REALLY DO HAVE SOMETHING
FOR EVERYONE.
YES, ALI, BELIEVE IT OR NOT,
THERE'S ONLY 1500 DIFFERENT
PIECES OF PRODUCT TO CHOOSE
FROM.
WE TALK ABOUT THE SCOPE OF IT.
U.S. BANK STADIUM JUST OPENED.
YOU COULD TAKE THE FOOTBALL
FIELD FROM THAT STADIUM AND PUT
IT IN THIS TENT.
THAT IT HOW LARGE IT IS.
45,000 SQUARE FEET.
Reporter: THAT IS SO BIG.
OVER TO OUR LEFT, WE CAN SEE
SOME OF THE RYDER CUP HATS THE
TEAM WILL BE SPORTING, AND
EVERY DAY OF THE TEAM WEARS
SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
ROBIN, MY PHOTOGRAPHER, IS
GOING TO PAN OVER.

THESE LASTS AND HOW YOU MAKE
SOME OF THE DECISIONS IN TERMS
OF GEAR.
NEW ERA, OUR OFFICIAL BRAND

IT GOES TASTEFULLY WITH THE
UNIFORMS DONE BY RALPH
LAURENEN.
AS YOU CAN SEE, THE PRACTICE
ROUNDS FRIDAY, SATURDAY, AND
SUNDAY, IT'S KIND OF A
DIFFERENT LOOK EACH DAY.
OF COURSE SCREAMING OUT, THE
ISA, AND WHO WE ARE ON SATURDAY
AND SUNDAY, BUT KIND OF A
TASTEFUL WAY TO HAVE ANYONE
CHOOSE WHAT THEY LIKE.
Reporter: I KNOW A LOT OF
PEOPLE, THIS WILL BE THEIR
FIRST TIME EXPERIENCING AN
INTERNATIONAL EVENT LIKE THIS.
BUT FOR PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE
TICKETS, BUT THIS IS THEIR
CHANCE TO MAYBE STEP INSIDE AND
KIND OF GET A TASTE OF WHAT

WHAT MAKES THIS EVENT SO
SPECIAL AND SO UNIQUE?

IF YOU AND YOUR KIDS WANT TO
CHECK IT OUT, OR YOU AND YOUR
WIFE, IT REALLY IS SOMETHING
FOR EVERYONE.
WE'LL BE OPEN FRIDAY, SATURDAY,

YOU DON'T NEED A TICKET.
PARKING WILL BE A LOT EASIER
THAN WHEN THE RYDER CUP
OFFICIALLY STARTS ON TUESDAY.
AND OF COURSE YOU CAN EVEN SEE
THE RYDER CUP, JASON AND KIM.
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE GETTING
THEIR PICTURE TAKEN WITH THE
CUP THIS WEEKEND.
Reporter: THAT'S RIGHT.
THE RYDER CUP WAS ON DISPLAY AT
U.S. BANK STADIUM.
I HAD TO GET MY PHOTO WITH IT,
AND OF COURSE FOR TEAM USA.
THAT RYDER CUP ONLY FOUR
POUNDS, AND THEY REALLY DON'T
LET TOO MANY PEOPLE TOUCH IT,
SO YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR
DISTANCE FROM IT.
THE CUP IS SO SMALL, LIKE
THE FLAG AND YOUR HAT DWARFED
IT.
I DON'T WANT TO BRAG, BUT
I'VE HELD THE RYDER CUP.
DID YOU HAVE TO WEAR GLOVES?
NO, NO, THEY JUST LET ME
PUT, LIKE, MY STAINED FINGERS,
BARBECUE SAUCE, HANG ON.
WAS THIS A TV MOMENT, OR
CHILLING WITH SOME GUYS IN THE
RYDER CUP, OR HOW DID THIS COME
ABOUT?
I DID AN EVENT, THIS WOULD
HAVE BEEN, LIKE, OVER A YEAR
AGO, AND THE RYDER CUP WAS
THERE.
IT WASN'T IN GLASS OR ANYTHING.
WAS OUT.
AND PEOPLE WERE DRINKING, AND
YOU'RE, LIKE, ALL RIGHT.
DID YOU PICK IT UP WITHOUT
PERMISSION?
NO BE, THEY SAID GO AHEAD.
LAST FULL DAY OF SUMMER
TODAY.
IS YOU KNOW, THE 2016 RYDER CUP
TEASE OFF NEXT WEEK AT
HAZELTINE GOLF COURSE IN
CHASKA.
BUT YOU CAN STILL GET OUT
THERE AND ENJOY THE GREENS AND
THE GEAR BEFORE THEN.
HEY, ALI.
Reporter: GOOD MORNING,
JASON.
THE SHOP WE'RE IN, THE RYDER
CUP SHOP, AND S ABSOLUTELY
STUNNING.
-- IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
THEY'LL BE SELLING 24 HATS A
MINUTE.
MIKE QUIRK IS IN CHARGE OF ALL
OF THE MERCHANDISE IN HERE FOR
THE PGA.
GIVE US AN IDEA HOW BIG THIS
VENUE IS.
49,000 SQUARE FEET.
WHAT ELSE DO YOU REALLY NEED TO
SEE SAY?
ONE OF MY FAVORITE PARTS ABOUT
THIS IS SEEING PEOPLE'S FACE
WHEN THEY COME IN.
BECAUSE RARELY ARE YOU IN A
STORE THIS BIG THAT'S A
TEMPORARY STRUCTURE.
AGAIN, CAN FIT A DEPUTY BALL
FIELD IN THIS STORE FROM FRONT
TO BACK.
Reporter: RIGHT NOW, YOU
ARE MAKING NOW THE UNIFORMS
THAT THE TEAM IS GOING TO WEAR
AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC.
SO WE ARE KIND OF I SHOWING OFF
WHAT THE PLAYERS WILL BE
WEARING.
SO CAN YOU KIND OF WALK US
THROUGH DAY BY DAY?
ABSOLUTELY.
RALPH LAWYEREN IS OUR OFFICIAL
OUTFITTER.
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, WE'RE
SELLING THE EXACT REPLICAS OF
THE UNIFORMS.
MUCH LIKE THE SHIRT YOU'RE
WEARING TODAY, WHICH IS THE
SATURDAY TEAM SHIRT, WHICH WE
HAVE NOT ONLY FOR THE MEN, WHO
HAVE BEEN AT THE EXACT TEE THAT
PHIL MICKELSON WILL BE WEARING
NEXT WEEK, BUT ALSO HAVE A
VERSION OF IT FOR WOMEN, WHICH
IS GREAT.
I KNOW THE WHITE HAT OVER
HERE, THEY'LL BE WEARING ON
SUNDAY.
THEY WEAR A DIFFERENT HAT EVERY
DAY.
WHAT IS THE GEAR THEY'LL BE
WEARING AFTER THEY WIN?
THAT'S EXACTLY RIGHT.
SO SUNDAY IS A BASIC GREAT
CLASSIC HE LOOK OF A NAVY AND
WHITE BLOCK WITH A WHITE HAT,
AND SOME NAVY PANTS, BE SO A
VERY DISTINGUISHED LOOK, WHICH
WILL LOOK FANTASTIC WEST THE
NAVY BLAZER, HOLDING THE TROPHY
ON SUNDAY.
THE RYDER CUP WILL BE ON
DISPLAY HERE FROM 10:00 A.M.
TO 2:00 P.M.
ON FRIDAY, SO PEOPLE CAN CHECK
THAT OUT.
BUT FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BIG FANS
OF MINNESOTA, AND IT BEING HERE
IN MINNESOTA, YOU GUY HAVE EVEN
INCORPORATED A LITTLE MINNESOTA
FLAVOR IF HERE.
WE HAVE.
WE'VE WORKED WITH SOME LOCATION
HEEL COMPANIES FOR A SCARF, AND
AN ART THIS THE AREA HAS DONE
ONE OF OUR OFFICIAL POSTERS.
BILL MACK HAS DONE A LIMITED
EXCLUSIVE SCULPTURE FOR US.
AND THEN WE HAVE HOCKEY JERSEYS
AND HOCKEY PUCKS.
ALL OF THE THINGS THAT HELP
THIS STRUCTURE TO BE FILLED
WITH RYDER CUP PRODUCT.
Reporter: WE WANT TO LET
EVERYONE KNOW THIS IS OPEN ON
FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY, AND
MONDAY, AND YOU DON'T NEED A
TICKET TO THE RYDER CUP, WHICH
MAKES IT EVEN BETTER.
SO YOU CAN COME DOWN HERE PARK
FOR FREE, GET HERE FOR FREE.
OF COURSE THE GEAR SIT NO FREE,
SORRY TO TELL YOU THAT.
BUT IT IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING.
AND KIM, I'VE NOT A T-SHIRT FOR
YOU.
SO I KNOW JASON AND MATT HAD A
REQUEST FOR A HAT.
THOSE HATS ARE AWESOME.
Reporter: I CAN'T BUY
ANYTHING UNTIL FRIDAY.
OH, OKAY.
Reporter: SO, KIM, HERE IS
YOUR SHIRT.
OH, THEY'RE GIVING ME,!
THAT'S SO NICE, ALI, THANK YOU.
Reporter: YES, YES, SO I
HOPE YOU LIKE IT.
I LIKE IT.
THESE HAVE SNAPS ON THEM,
INSTEAD OF BUTTONS.
THAT'S VERY DIFFERENT.
Reporter: THEY DO HAVE
SNAPS ON THEM.
I REALLY LIKE THAT.
ONE MORE ROSTER SPOT
AVAILABLE ON THE U.S. TEAM,
TOO, RIGHT?
YES, THERE IS ONE MORE
ROSTER SPOT AVAILABLE.
DAVIS LOVE III IS THE CAPTAIN.
HE IS GOING TO MAKE THAT
ANNOUNCEMENT ON SUNDAY.
SO FOR THOSE WHO ARE CURIOUS,
HE TWEETED OUT THAT DANIEL
BERGER, JUSTIN THOMAS AND BUBBA
A WATSON WERE ACTUALLY VISITING
THE COMPANIES ARE ON MONDAY.
SO THEY GOT TO CHECK OUT THE
COURSE FROM UP ABELIEVE.
THEY TOOK A RIDE, GOT TO SEE
THE COURSE FROM UP ABOVE, AND
ARE OBVIOUSLY PLAY IT WILL THE
COURSE.
SO HE SAID A LOT OF FACTORS GO
INTO THAT DECISION FOR THAT
FINAL SPOT.
WHO DO YOU THINK YOU WOULD
WANT TO PLAY WITH, WHO DO YOU
THINK YOU WOULD WARRANT TO
PRACTICE WITH?
WHICH ASSISTANT CAPTAIN WOULD
YOU LIKE TO HAVE WATCHING YOU
PLAY WHEN YOU GO OUT TO PLAY ON
FRIDAY MORNINGS?
Reporter: SO I DID GET A
CHANCE TO SPEAK WITH DAVIS LOVE
III.
HE WAS IN EDINA ON FRIDAY.
HE'S A BIG FAN OF JUST VISITING
NEAR MINNESOTA.
HE WOULD NOT GIVE ME ANY LEADS
ON WHO HE IS GOING TO PICK,
UNFORTUNATELY.
HE DID NOT GIVE ANY SECRETS
AWAY.
AND I KNOW THAT MIKE TALKED
ABOUT ALL OF THE MINNESOTA GEAR
YOU CAN GET IN HERE.
I JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU THIS
CUP.
THIS IS A CUP YOU CAN GET.
IT SAYS HOME SWEET HOME.
IT HAS THE MAYO CLINIC, A LOON,
MINNEAPOLIS, UNIVERSITY OF
MINNESOTA, AND EVEN HAS U.S.
BANK STADIUM.
AND THAT'S $18.
SO IF YOU'RE LOOKING FOR
SOMETHING A LITTLE MORE
AFFORDABLE, 18 BUCKS FOR THIS
CUP.
OKAY.
I'M READY.
THROW IT TO ME.
Reporter: IT MIGHT BREAK,
SO I DON'T WANT TO THROW IT TO
YOU.
YEAH, DON'T WANT TO THROW
THAT THROUGH THE SCREEN, THAT
WON'T WORK.
18 BUCKS IS THE AFFORDABLE
OPTION.
IF YOU CAN AFFORD THE TICKETS
TO THE REIDER CUP, YOU CAN --
YOU WANT A SOUVENIR, DON'T
YOU?
I'LL BE SELLING FAKE
UNAUTHORIZED GOODS.
