The world’s best male golfers from Europe and the United States are about to battle for the coveted Ryder Cup trophy.
In 2023, the 44th iteration of the men’s team tournament is being played in Italy, at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club outside Rome, from Friday 29 September to Monday 1 October.
Team USA will target their second straight title, having taken home a comprehensive 19-9 victory at Whistling Straits in 2021.
However, the reigning champions have not won on European soil since 1993.
Since 1979, when continental Europe was included in Ryder Cup, Europe holds a 11-9 lead over the United States, and the Americans will be eager to bag another victory.
European team captain Luke Donald believes his team have also been inspired by the continent’s female players. Europe won the women’s equivalent, the Solheim Cup, last weekend.
All the 2023 major championships winners; Jon Rahm (Masters Tournament), Brooks Koepka (PGA Championship), Wyndham Clark (U.S. Open), and Brian Harman (The Open Championship), will be competing in the Italian capital.
