Despite the PGA’s presidential support, the Ryder Cup will probably have to wait. Rescheduling, though, will be a challenge
Had the 2020 Ryder Cup been set to take place in Europe, it is reasonable to assume it would have been called off already. That Whistling Straits in Wisconsin is the host, in a country where President Trump is breathlessly pushing golf’s exit from cold storage, means the biennial event has not dropped from the schedule. Golf appears sport’s Chosen One as Trump looks to lead a charge towards normality in the United States. The NFL and NBA are looking on with great intrigue.
Rory McIlroy is the most high-profile golfer to speak out against the concept of a Ryder Cup without spectators, even though one wonders if they might fancy a break fromthe course-side comedians now and again.
