[Golf Topic] Ryder Cup "To Be Held as Scheduled in September"

European Union players are cheering immediately after winning the 2018 Ryder Cup.

[Asia Economy Reporter No Woo-rae] ○…The Ryder Cup will take place as scheduled….

On the 19th (Korean time), the British BBC cited statements from senior officials of the European Tour and the U.S. Ryder Cup officials denying rumors of postponement. "Reports that the Ryder Cup will be postponed to next year are incorrect," they said, adding, "There are currently no plans to delay the tournament." Following the postponement of the season's first major, the Masters, and the PGA Championship due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), concerns arose that even the Ryder Cup might be in jeopardy.

The Ryder Cup is a biennial intercontinental golf competition between the United States and the European Union. Originally held in odd-numbered years, it has been held in even-numbered years since 2001 after being postponed due to the 9/11 terrorist attacks in the U.S. The U.S. leads the overall record with 26 wins, 2 draws, and 14 losses, but in the nine matches since the 2000s, it has been at a significant disadvantage with 2 wins and 7 losses. This year, the event will be held over three days starting September 25 at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin, USA.
