News of a comp' coming pre-Ryder Cup, to give experience to the RC potentials

GB&I vs Europe I believe.....
Could be interesting but why, when it's Euro/GB&I, have it in the Middle East

They could call it the Seve Trophy maybe, in honour of the man who jumpstarted Europe as a golf force to rival GB&I ?

Was exactly my thoughts, guess it would be down to sponsors location or to make it seem more glamorous. Holding it at a euro/Brit venue may lose its appeal. May also find the course and climate is similar to the RC venue so it would see how they cope in the heat and humidity.

I quite like the idea of a (televised) ryder cup boot camp where hopefuls are put through the grynder for a few days on and off the course... but if they just need 'experience' of playing matchplay then either the ryder cup or the ET is flawed

It’s basically the Seve trophy from days gone by.

Personally I'd rather have seen Liv Vs PGA tour event.
With some of the tosh put out from both sides it would be a proper good watch
Better than the president's cup

Most guys will be in the middle east in January for the tour events anyway and the weather is a close to guaranteed as possible.

I’m all in for this, but if it was a successful broadcast then surely the LIV would be complicit to sports washing

Looks they can’t win
To bring in these events they need sponsership, Hero are providing it and it should be a good event
It was also worth remembering it was at one point called the Vivendi Cup
But the reaction right now is standard for the toxic nature of the professional game
It’s a shame it’s in the Middle East but when they are hosting it there isn’t many other places they can go

Fully agree with this. I get it being in the middle east, I get it needs a sponsor but give the legend his place and name him on the event.

Disagree strongly with the sentiment that it should be in the ME as that provides the best sponsorship opportunities
I presume that the football fans on this forum would have been strongly against the ‘39th Game’ - an official Prem League fixture being played in the ME / Far East…
The principle is the same — but we can all accept that there were huge financial incentives for Prem League matches to take place in Dubai, Singapore, the US, and..dare I say it, Saudi Arabia

It’s not in the ME because of the sponsership - it’s there because it’s being hosted in Jan during a gap on the calendar

Plenty of other ‘European’ DP World tour events take place in the ME
Can you not see the same principle at work with the 39th game? How did you feel about that?

That should have held it at Turnberry ?
