    Must admit to losing a lot of interest in watching golf since the LIV fiasco. Ryder cups a bit different though. Unfortunately recent ones have been very one sided and damp squibs on final day. And how about the greedy yanks insisting on payment. Have these oligarchs of golf world ever enough cash, it seems not

    Before sky took all the enjoyment from sport i used to watch this. Plus rugger and rugby league.. The open golf and some other sports.. Greed has killed it for me same as going to Elland road it's a rip off.

    I’ll be watching it wall to wall, other than Sat 3-5pm, when my interests’ll be more local.

    I do watch a fair bit of the pga stuff particularly if Rory’s taking part and LPGA stuff if Charlie’s in contention but hate the American coverage of both.

    Sadly I think if they get up early it’ll be a horrible watch. In terms of the US crowd they’re not great at accepting losing, very ungracious, even worse winners.

    Still I’ll be glued, hoping we do them on their own turf :1980_boogie_down:.

    I’m looking forward ro this.
    I don’t care ir they get paid or not, also I’m probably one of very few who likes LIV and the PGA.

    Great to see it being played at a public course.
    Here is a link to Bethpage that explains a bit about the course.
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bethpage_Black_Course

    Will be interesting to see how the big hitters(Rory Bryson etc) get on at a tight course with harsh rough and small greens.

    Anyone know how I can watch online?

    Like to hear the Yanks were beaten, but otherwise AFAIAC a golf course just stops a bit of countryside being built on.

    Agree with Wakey I dont watch anywhere near the amount of sport I used to. I refuse to subscribe to Sky or any other platform and get all my sport on a little cube computer as I can catch up with any sport anywhere. We have all watched as the BBC lost everything from football to the boat race and the only live sport now is Wimbledon but not for long. Golf gone, horse racing gone, darts gone, cricket gone, rugby league gone,mrugby Union gone but hey ho the BBC still have a load of woke dancers which is now unwatchable due to wokery, trans, gay, fat, cripples stomping around…… I really don’t give a toss who wins the Ryder Cup now as it’s lost what made it great

    Have you no fire stick provider. I used to pay 2.5k a year for sky multi room, that's now 280 euros with access to all Leeds games, snooker, darts etc. My savings cover my 5 trips a year over. Do I feel guilty, Not a bit. They fleeced me for 25 years

    The RC is probably the only golf tournament I take an interest in.

    Tbh, I have more interest in the final of the women's rugby world cup this weekend.

    For all it should be hard to get excited cheering for ‘Europe’ - match play golf lends itself to drama in a way stroke play can’t and I love the Ryder cup format. Il be watching where I can.
