Finally, it’s showtime. The 44th Ryder Cup is upon us.
The host course, Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, is a public-access layout with tee times available on the course’s website starting at 190 Euros for international players. The course will play to a par of 71 with the scorecard showing 7,181 yards.
It’s likely the host European team will adjust yardages in an attempt to benefit itself. The rough is deep and thick, putting an emphasis on accurate tee shots to relatively tight fairways.
The Americans, led by captain Zach Johnson, are trying to win on foreign soil for the first time since 1993. Team Europe, meanwhile, is hoping an influx of young talent will help captain Luke Donald reverse a lopsided loss at Whistling Straits in 2021.
