It’s Ryder Cup all the time, like it or not. With virtually no other high-level golf taking place over the past several days (apologies to the French Open and the U.S. Mid-Amateur), the focus is on the biennial competition that’s already been discussed for weeks and will continue to be until the first golf balls is in the air at Bethpage Black on Friday morning—and beyond.
The event is undoubtedly one of the biggest on the golf calendar, rivaling the Masters in popularity and the source of considerable conjecture for weeks on end. It all but bankrolls the DP World Tour and fills the coffers of the PGA of America, too.
