🏌️ The European Ryder Cup team always finds a way to manufacture a grudge against the Americans as added motivation. This year, it seems to be about Americans taking money and the Europeans being too pure to accept it. Is this a legitimate beef?
🏌️ Does it matter that every U.S. player — and captain — who has been asked has said they are going to give their entire $500,000 stipend to charity?
🏌️ At the Ryder Cup, Brandel Chamblee ripped Bryson DeChambeau, calling him a “circus barker” and a “captain’s nightmare,” among other things. Can’t Chamblee just let go of his LIV obsession? Does anyone pay much attention to him anymore?
🏌️ Does anyone need reminding that DeChambeau qualified for the U.S. team on points he earned just from the major championships?
🏌️ Rory McIlroy said of European players coming to the U.S. to play the PGA Tour, “I still think America is the greatest country in the world.” Wonder what Seve Ballesteros would have said about that?
🏌️ On a podcast, European Ryder Cup hero Ian Poulter said of U.S. fans, “Only in America that the stupidness comes out.” Then, he said, “I’m not completely dissing the American fans, ’cause the atmosphere in America is amazing.” Can both be true at the same time?
🏌️ Does it matter that all 24 Ryder Cuppers play a full schedule on the PGA Tour and live in the U.S., at least part time?
🏌️ The U.S. team was criticized for wearing open collars with no necktie and white tennis shoes with their suits for the gala dinner. Really? This is what we’re spending time talking about?
🏌️ Has the Ryder Cup gotten out of hand or is it still the best event in golf?
