[Golf Topic] Casey: "Ryder Cup Should Also Be Postponed" View original image


[Asia Economy Kim Hyun-jun, Golf Specialist Reporter] ○…World No. 24 Paul Casey (England, photo) has proposed the 'Ryder Cup postponement'...


On the 23rd (Korean time), Casey emphasized in an interview with the BBC, "It is disappointing, but people's safety and health come before the tournament." He is drawing attention as a key player representing Europe in the Ryder Cup. The Ryder Cup is a biennial intercontinental golf competition between the United States and Europe. Originally held in odd-numbered years, it was postponed after the '9/11 terrorist attacks' in the U.S. in 2001 and has since been held in even-numbered years.



This year, it is scheduled to open on September 25 at Whistling Straits Golf Course in Wisconsin, USA. However, a Ryder Cup official stated, "There are currently no plans to postpone the tournament." It is interesting that Casey recently won back-to-back titles at the PGA Tour Valspar Championship, which was minimized due to the spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19). Last year, he made history as the first to defend the title in the tournament's history, but his attempt at a 'three-peat' has been postponed until next year.
