The countdown of the Ryder Cup is underway, and this year has the potential to be one for history books.
This year’s event will take place at Bethpage Black outside New York. It will be the second time that a team competition will have been taking place in the three states region, as well as the 2017 Presidents Cup in Liberty National in Jersey City.
The United States and Europe have alternated the victory of the Cup, the home team winning each event, in a rather convincing way, every year since 2016.

Xander Schauffele is part of the United States team for each Ryder and Presidents Cup since 2019, and he currently has an automatic offer as the second American in the Fedex Cup (the best six players obtain automatic offers).
However, his own father wants a part.
Stefan Schauffele told London Times that he “does not go” to the Ryder Cup in September.
“I’m afraid of what will happen in New York. I was there [at Whistling Straits] When they called Shane Lowry’s wife a whore in front of him. I couldn’t believe my ears, “said Stefan.

Stefan also said that he had been disabled by the temperatures that move away between Rory McILroy and the Caddy of Patrick Cantlay, Joe Lacava, in Rome two years ago.
McILroy was not satisfied with the celebration of Lacava of a long Putt de Cantlay, who chose not to wear a hat to protest against the players who are not paid to play in the event. This year, American players will receive an additional $ 200,000 allowance and an additional $ 300,000 to donate to the charity.
“It was completely disgusting to claim this money —, and Rory behaved disgusting in my opinion,” continued Schauffele. “It will only get worse. It is ruined my appetite for the Ryder Cup. It becomes inaccessible.”
McILroy then had to be retained from Lacava in the parking lot after the Tour.

The rivalry between the two teams is undoubtedly warmer than ever – but apparently, Mr. Schauffele has no interest.
