It is actually a match between teams representing the PGA Tour of America and the European Tour.
The UK's non-membership of the EU is totally irrelevant to the continued presence in the European team of UK players.
If this were not the case then Victor Hovland would also not be eligible.

I don't think Brexit geographically moved the British Isles.
Europe may be a colloquialism for the EU, but the Ryder cup is a match between the continent of Europe and the USA, not the European Union.

Which continent do we belong to now then?
If you are going to try and troll a forum about Brexit. At least try not to be so thick.

Pay attention, along with the EU flag the flags of all competitors are displayed, sorry that doesn’t fit your agenda.
Is this a wind up? Surely

Going by the OP it’s most probably a sock puppet account. Best locked and binned @PhilTheFragger @williamalex1

Top trolling! As well you know, Europe is a continent, the European Union is an attempt to unify parts of the continent in a single political organisation. You can be in favour or against, that's up to you.
The Ryder Cup is European Tour v PGA of America. Nowt to do with EU - but they do try and stick their hooters in.
Above my desk is a big print of the team at Celtic Manor - each player has his national flag round his neck. No sign of their blue emblem in sight!

We can't actually leave Europe without some major continental drift happening.

As an aside to the obvious, Joakim Haeggman of Sweden played in the 93 RC, 2 years before Sweden joined the EU.

Haha I love threads like this, you get people taking offence at a bit of gallows humour. If the UK Players apply for a french/German/Irish passport would that fix things?

To be fair, the European team does use the EU flag for its logo. Since they adopted the EU flag I think the Ryder Cup team has only featured players from EU countries.
Time for a new logo!
