The Ryder Cup was postponed until 2021 in Wisconsin because of the Covid-19 pandemic that raised too much uncertainty whether the loudest event in golf could be played before spectators.
The announcement on Wednesday was inevitable and had been in the works for weeks as the PGA of America, the European Tour and the PGA Tour tried to adjust with so many moving parts.
The Ryder Cup was scheduled for September 25-27 at Whistling Straits, but will move to September 24-26 in 2021. It’s the second time in the last two decades the Ryder Cup was postponed. It was moved off the odd-numbered years in 2001 because of the September 11 terrorist attacks.
