- Covid-19 forces 12-month delay, with future events in odd years
- PGA of America says there is no guarantee of full attendance
The organisers of the Ryder Cup have admitted there can be no certainty of the event taking place in typical form in its rescheduled window in 2021. Confirmation has now been delivered that the meeting of the United States and Europe, scheduled for late September at Whistling Straits, will be postponed for 12 months. The continuing problems around Covid-19, though, still leave question marks.
“None, frankly,” said the PGA of America’s chief executive, Seth Waugh, when asked what guarantees there were that the Ryder Cup would be played in front of a full crowd in 2021.
