Exclusive: Tommy Hilfiger Partners With New Cadillac Formula 1® Team
F1® The Movie star Damson Idris in the new Tommy Hilfiger APXGP Collection. Formula 1® racing is about to get even more popular, thanks to the upcoming F1® The Movie starring Brad Pitt and Damson Idris and the Cadillac Formula 1® team's debut in 2026. Only one fashion brand, Tommy Hilfiger, has starring roles in both. The clothing brand's sponsorship for the Apple Original Films' racing flick produced by Jerry Bruckheimer was announced in March. Now, PVH Corp.'s Tommy Hilfiger, the American preppy brand founded in 1985, is announcing its role as the official apparel partner for the new motorsports team. Founder and principal designer Tommy Hilfiger, whose formative years involved a former F1 racetrack, parlayed love for the fast-paced sport and fashion with several racing partnerships: Team Lotus in 1991, then Ferrari and Mercedes-AMG F1TM️, to brand collaborations with driver Sir Lewis Hamilton. The global fashion powerhouse will play a key apparel role in the first new team to join the pinnacle sport since 2016. The tie-up marks the new F1 race team's first official partner announcement. The products include an official team's kit—to dress drivers, pit crews, paddock staff, team car constructors, management—and sport-inspired fanwear collections. The drop is timed to the March 2026 Formula 1 season and available in Tommy Hilfiger stores globally and select partner distribution. Tommy Hilfiger logo placement will grace technical gear such as the driver's suit, helmet and race car for the new Cadillac Formula 1 team, which was created by TWG Motorsports and General Motors. The announcement comes as the brand launches its F1 The Movie APXGP Collection globally across its stores, with select wholesale partners, and before the film's late June release. The collection features the movie's star, Damson Idris, a Tommy Hilfiger brand ambassador, in the campaign. Former Tommy Hilfiger brand ambassador Lewis Hamilton at the Spring 2018 TommyNow "Drive" show in ... More Milan. According to Hilfiger, the 2019 Netflix docuseries Formula 1®: Drive to Survive and the new F1®: Academyabout female racing talent, opened the sport's popularity to new audiences. "Drive to Survive lifted it to a new level; the F1: Academy will take it to another, but F1 the Movie is like the stratosphere," Hilfiger continued, adding, "I don't think there is another sport as relevant." Alba Larsen of the new series F1 ACADEMY™ "These documentaries show behind the scenes, and that's inspired a lot of new fans, which is the sport's biggest asset," Lowdon concurred. Hilfiger's brand embodies the FAMES approach: fashion, art, music, entertainment, and sports to capture the cultural Zeitgeist. Formula 1 is currently at the apex. "It's more than a sport. It's a global force. Fashion and motorsports have been part of the culture and relate to luxury for years. It's an elite sport gaining many international fans," said Hilfiger. For Lea Rytz Goldman, Tommy Hilfiger Global Brand President, delivering these cultural moments is bolstered by tech. "Tools like AI are helping us better understand what consumers want and how they engage. As we deepen our involvement with Formula 1, we see powerful ways to use technology to bring fans even closer through immersive activations, storytelling, and digital experiences, making them part of the action on the track or online," she said. 'Tommy Hilfiger is driving some of the most exciting consumer engagement in its history, and we are making this strategic investment as Formula 1 expands its relevance in the US and globally. This partnership is the latest example of how we are building Tommy Hilfiger into one of the most desirable lifestyle brands in the world as part of the PVH+ Plan—our long-term, brand-building growth strategy,' added Stefan Larsson, CEO, PVH Corp. Mr. Tommy Hilfiger Tommy sees it organically like the 1970s musical heroes that inspired his design ambitions. "The drivers are like rock stars. They're cool young athletic people living a great lifestyle." Tommy Hilfiger and Cadillac have global brand recognition. The latter is synonymous as the ultimate American luxury car with a motorsport background. "Cadillac has a proud and storied racing history as far back as 1950 when they began competing at Le Mans at World Championship Level," said Cadillac Formula 1 Team Principal Graeme Lowdon. The power of the names together is immense. "These two iconic American brands come together with a colorful history in visual culture. I love racing's iconic graphics. The uniforms are very cool with patches, logos, and team names. It's rich in design territory. We had insight into the Cadillac team's design direction; it will look incredible across the collections," noted Hilfiger. Cadillac Formula 1® Team Principal Graeme Lowdon The car brand is equally enamored. "Tommy has known Formula 1 for a long time. It's the pinnacle of motorsport, like Cadillac is for luxury automobiles. Cadillac's brand values are bold, sophisticated, and optimistic. That was a natural fit with the Tommy Hilfiger brand. Combining this offers an ambitious, confident outlook. The chemistry, vision, and passion felt right from the start. Racing is about passion and desire to win," Lowdon said. Both brands embody Americana with the cars soon to boast 'Made in the USA' in an Indianapolis manufacturing headquarters. "I didn't see that coming in the earlier years. Formula 1 was automobiles and cars coming from Europe. Building out fanwear with our iconic prep with Cadillac's bold racing and motorsport motifs is an exciting playground to push the boundaries," Hilfiger added of the partnership that was nearly two years in the making. Fashion's connection with racing was apparent in the Spring of 2018. Lewis Hamilton became Tommy Hilfiger Men's global brand ambassador and created five Tommy X Lewis collections during their six-year partnership. It coincided with the TommyNow "Drive" show during Milan Fashion Week that involved a race car on a runway. The Tommy x Gigi collection and sporty racing motifs also ran the track. Three of Hamilton's joint-record seven World Drivers Championships occurred during the six-year period. George Russell, another Mercedes team racer to join the Tommy Hilfiger universe, also regularly sported the clothes for appearances on and off the track. "Lewis expressing himself through fashion helped shift the spotlight beyond the track as he became a style icon," Hilfiger said. The collaboration happened before fashion existed in motorsport, and Hamilton's gusto for dressing up inspired other drivers to up the style ante, typically choosing Tommy Hilfiger. Hamilton winning those years is not lost on Lowdon. "There is an advantage to feeling good, whether wearing Tommy or driving a Cadillac. Formula 1 is a big team sport. We want mechanics, engineers, designers, and everyone working at the top of their game, feeling good and focused. The association with Tommy Hilfiger gives them a lot of confidence. People underestimate in sports, what you wear and how you feel are enormously linked to performance." Lowdown added.

Inspiration comes from the uniforms' authenticity to the extended team in the pits and factories. "Technology plays a huge part in all of it because the creation of cars and engines uses advanced technology. Putting technology into our fashion clothing is important. Using technical fabrics that add breathability, waterproofing, or a type of stretch or reflective can feel like the racing uniforms," Hilfiger noted. "Formula 1 is the Haute Couture of motor racing because cars are handmade. I love the creativity that sets Formula 1 apart. We see that same creative flare and passion for design and ideas with Tommy's talented team as ours. We can do many exciting things in this partnership," Lowdon added. "We're setting a new standard for how fashion and F1 can evolve into a new chapter, and we are incredibly proud leading it. It will be an epic milestone for American motorsport," Hilfiger stressed. Rytz Goldman concurs. "It's not just about race day—it's about tapping into the energy of the sport to create cultural moments extending beyond the track like our APXGP Collection, which fuels the connection between style, motorsport, and cinematic storytelling. These and other collaborations will continue to open opportunities to connect with and excite new communities and lead in the cultural conversation," she added. To wit, Tommy Hilfiger is also in partnership with F1 ACADEMY™, the series designed to help develop young female drivers and sponsors Spanish talent Nerea Martí. Archive images from the Tommy Hilfiger Team Lotus collaboration. Musicians were Hilfiger's early design beacons, and so were car races. "I was at a race where the John Player Special team won. Afterward, we talked a couple of the drivers and pit crew into giving us gear. That inspired shirts with embroideries, patches, and all sorts of detail in early collections taken from those authentic black shirts with gold lettering. They were the only team to do black, which was cool," reminisced Hilfiger, recalling his high school proclivities of working on his car at his gas station job and taking it out for a spin on the Watkins Glen track. Both gentlemen are pumped for the respective task ahead, especially one that involves the super stringent world of Formula 1. "It's relentless, but the challenge is part of the appeal. We're building a team for Cadillac's first entry everyone can be proud of. While drivers are the heroes, it involves 1000 people. We want the fans to join us," Lowdon noted. "Above all, I'm proud to be a part of an American team," said Hilfiger, adding, "As a fashion brand, we like to think into the future. What could be disruptive but inclusive and on brand? So, we're always looking at everything through the lens of pop culture that can extend into different categories. There are no limits, and F1 is at the heart of that mix; we've always been ahead of the curve!

Bryson DeChambeau hits golf balls on White House South Lawn during visit with Trump
As a two-time U.S. Open champion who has earned north of $80 million on the golf course alone, Bryson DeChambeau has seen and done some pretty cool things. His recent trip to the White House to visit President Donald Trump was about as unique it gets. As the undisputed golf content king these days, DeChambeau managed to do something not many people throughout history have done: He hit golf balls off the South Lawn at the White House. White House Special Assistant Margo Martin shared a video of DeChambeau hitting a wedge onto the green of the South Lawn practice green, and he wasn't hitting short chip shots, he turned the property into a makeshift Par 3 course. DeChambeau, who has finished T-6 or better in five of the last six major championships, didn't only hit golf balls on the South Lawn during his stop in Washington D.C. He and President Trump made a stop at Trump National in Lowes Island, Virginia to hit some shots together as well, which is where Trump shared a quick joke about how long of a hitter he is. "We play golf a lot together, it's not a very pleasant experience for me because I always consider myself a reasonably long hitter," President Trump said. "My wife says, 'Are you as long as Bryson?' I say, 'Yeah sorta, pretty close - it's not close.'" DeChambeau is a long-time supporter of Trump, and he was even called on stage by the President during his victory speech back in November after he ran away with the presidential election. As the President noted, he and DeChambeau have played many rounds of golf together over the years. The President made an appearance on the LIV golfer's YouTube channel, where the duo teamed up to shoot 50. Following his U.S. Open win at Pinehurst in 2024, DeChambeau paid a visit to Trump National Golf Club in New York, hit some long drives, and drank some red wine

Philadelphia Flyers re-sign Noah Cates to 4-year contract extension after career season
The Philadelphia Flyers have re-signed center Noah Cates to a four-year contract with a $4 million annual average value, general manager Danny Briere announced Tuesday. Cates is the latest in a string of restricted free agents the Flyers have reupped. Cates, who was scheduled to become an RFA on July 1, is coming off a career-high 16-goal season in which he established himself as one of the club's leaders. The 26-year-old forward finished the 2024-25 season with 37 points and averaged 15:53 of ice time with a plus-3 rating, which was second on the Flyers. Cates has 102 points in 235 career games since being drafted in the fifth round of the 2017 NHL draft. Cates is the third RFA-to-be that the Flyers have re-signed this offseason. Last week, the orange and black re-signed Tyson Foerster to a two-year, $7.5 million extension and defenseman Helge Grans to a two-year, $1.575 million deal. Cam York, a 2019 first-round draft pick, forward Jakob Pelletier and minor-league forwards Zayde Wisdom and Elliot Desnoyers are the team's remaining RFAs. Last month, the Flyers hired Rick Tocchet as their new head coach. When introducing Tocchet, a member of the team's Hall of Fame, Briere said he viewed the 61-year-old as their "long-term solution." By signing Cates to a four-year deal rather than a bridge deal, it's safe to say the Flyers' front office views the center as part of the rebuild's finished product. The Flyers have 11 selections, including seven in the first two rounds, in the 2025 NHL draft coming up at the end of the month.
