Ryder Cup in Prime Time

[GolfBagCheck.com]

The Ryder Cup is certainly one of my favorite sporting events... but life has got in the way - wife, kids, work, etc... and the time difference is going to make it tough to really give it the time it deserves.

 

The USGA has been very successful in their prime time US Open weekend rounds - who can forget the 3rd and 4th round of the 2008 US Open in san diego with tiger/rooco - and this years at Pebble. Seems like the ryder cup has always been east coast - brookline, oakland hills and valhalla. then i just checked the future, and it is still all central- illinois (medinah 2012), minnesota (hazeltine, 2016), wisconsin (whistling straits, 2020)...

 

beyond the fact that the weather is less than great in october there that time of year, we still won't have a prime time event. Wish the PGA would think about it... how great would a saturday night fourball final that finishes at 9 EST and then the singles ending in primetime on sunday. certainly would be better than competing with college football on saturday afternoon and nfl on sunday afternoon.
