“#Golf gets it right by postponing Ryder Cup until 2021<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n CROMWELL, Conn. \u2014 All along, it was going to be the right thing to do. <\/p>\n

In the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect on the sports world, the chances of the 2020 Ryder Cup being played at all has been in peril. The chances of the biennial event taking place with spectators never was realistic. <\/p>\n

A Ryder Cup without fans is not a Ryder Cup at all. This is why, according to a report from the Guardian, the 2020 Ryder Cup, which was scheduled to be staged Sept. 25-27 at Whistling Straits, will be postponed until 2021.<\/p>\n

For weeks, the most prominent players in the world \u2014 players who have had significant say in the past several Ryder Cups \u2014 have expressed strong sentiments that the event should not be played unless fans are permitted.<\/p>\n

The PGA of America and the European Tour, the two governing bodies that run the sport\u2019s most compelling week of golf, would not confirm the report. Phone calls by The Post to PGA of America boss Seth Waugh were not returned, and a PGA of America spokesperson later declined comment.<\/p>\n

In this case, silence is confirmation. Same as it was when the San Francisco Chronicle broke the news<\/a> last week that the PGA Championship would go on as scheduled at Harding Park but do so without spectators. <\/p>\n

Eventually, The PGA of America got around to confirming that report this week \u2014 just as it likely will likely officially announce the postponement of the Ryder Cup in the coming days.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

The PGA Tour events currently powering on without spectators the past two weeks at Colonial and Hilton Head, and now this week at the Travel<\/a>ers and next week in Detroit are different animals than a Ryder Cup.<\/p>\n

A Ryder Cup simply isn\u2019t the same event without the passion of the fans.<\/p>\n

Look at every video highlight of the greatest moments in Ryder Cup history and those moments are intertwined with the fans and their rabid reaction.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want a Ryder Cup with full capacity,\u2019\u2019 Englishman Paul Casey said Tuesday. \u201cI want it with screaming fans. I saw the headlines [about postponement], so if that\u2019s confirmed by the PGA of America in the next few days or weeks or whenever it\u2019s going to be, I fully support that. Even as a European, knowing how loud that would be for the American team, that\u2019s what I want. We want to play a Ryder Cup in that environment, in that cauldron, and [postponing is] the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know there\u2019s politics involved. There\u2019s financial implications and knock-on effect to Presidents Cup [which is scheduled for 2021 and likely will be moved to 2022], but I fully support that.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

\"A<\/img>
A Ryder Cup without fans would have been a big mistake, The Post\u2019s Mark Cannizzaro writes.<\/span>AP<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Indeed, there are political implications that come with postponing the Ryder Cup \u2014 mostly as it involves the European Tour, which is too reliant on the revenue raised by the event. Surely, the European Tour wanted no part in postponing.<\/p>\n

But even Europe\u2019s star players want no part in playing a Ryder Cup without fans \u2014 even if that would help them retain the cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf we can\u2019t play with fans, I don\u2019t think we should play this year,\u2019\u2019 Spaniard Jon Rahm, the No. 2 player in the world, said. \u201cThe fans make what the Ryder Cup is. I think it should be played with fans.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

That means 2021. And finding a player who disagrees is like finding one who doesn\u2019t mind an occasional double bogey on his scorecard.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf players voted to have it without fans or to be able to postpone to allow for fans, they would go for postponement,\u2019\u2019 Jordan Spieth said. \u201cI think everybody would vote for postponement, especially the Americans being on home soil. I would rather wait and play with fans than play without fans and force a Ryder Cup this year.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Patrick Reed, who acquired the nickname he cherishes, \u201cCaptain America,\u2019\u2019 for his Ryder Cup exploits, called the impending postponement \u201cdisapp<\/a>ointing\u2019\u2019 but said he \u201ccan\u2019t\u2019\u2019 imagine playing one without fans.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou want to have that banter back and forth with the crowds,\u2019\u2019 Reed said. \u201cIf you\u2019re a home team, you basically want that 12th man. If you\u2019re the away team, you\u2019re expecting to be going into a hostile environment.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Irishman Rory McIlroy, the No. 1-ranked player in the world, has been the most vocal proponent of postponement if fans were not permitted to attend.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt wouldn\u2019t be a great spectacle,\u2019\u2019 he said recently. \u201cThere\u2019d be no atmosphere. A Ryder Cup without fans is not a Ryder Cup.\u201d<\/p>\n

Enough said.<\/p>\n

See you in 2021.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
