SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – There is no shortage of traditions at the Ryder Cup, but it seems Thomas Bjorn has added something new to that legacy. Prior to the 2018 matches in Paris, then-European captain Bjorn promised his team he’d get a tattoo if the Continent won. True to his word he had “17 ½ - 10 ½” (the winning score)…

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Three years ago in Paris, “Moliwood” was unstoppable. The duo of Tommy Fleetwood and Francesco Molinari went 4-0-0 in the team sessions and led the home team to a seven-point rout.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – Every captain puts his stamp on a Ryder Cup team, and in the case of Steve Stricker, that identity is predictable: Casual and fun. In part because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and because it’s Stricker’s goal to reduce the distractions and obligations on players, this week’s Ryder Cup is historically low-key. “Very casual,” Stricker said when asked…

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – The “envelope” has been a part of the Ryder Cup for decades, with captains picking a player from their team who will sit out the Sunday singles matches if there is an injury on the opposing team. The captains’ agreement calls for the match to be halved. But the age of COVID-19 has added a new layer…
