Bethpage Black will host the Ryder Cup this weekend, almost 12 years after the initial announcement that it would be the place of the tournament host.
The goods “Ryder Cup 2024” was on sale during the 2019 PGA 2019 championship in the Long Island Course, but due to the pandemic in 2020, the Ryder Cup returned to its former format to be played in strange years. This change was forced for the first time after the September 11 terrorist attacks.
Fans of the New York region had to wait another year to come back to the course, but the wait is worth it.

Nicknamed “The People’s Country Club”, the major championship course is open to the public and is often the site of the night campsite for golfers who plan to play the course the next morning.
Before the players feel, they are welcomed with a warning panel:
“The black course is an extremely difficult course that we recommend only for highly qualified golfers,” said the sadly famous sign before the good Dogleg on the first hole.

The course opened its doors in 1936 but organized its first professional golf tournament until the US Open 2002.
The Ryder Cup will mark the sixth professional golf event held at Bethpage Black. The course also hosted the US Open in 2009 and the Barclays, now called the St. Jude championship, in 2012 and 2016.
Tiger Woods and Lucas Glover won the US Open in 2002 and 2009, while Nick Watney won the 2012 Barclays, followed by Patrick Reed four years later. Brooks Koepka won the 2019 PGA championship.
