Hey Everybody, 


I am beyond excited that you can make it on this trip! I have been lucky enough to attend dozens of amazing sporting events in my life and, without question, the Ryder Cup is my favorite. Sharing this with my good friends, and our wives, is nothing short of my ideal vacation.

Thank you for making this a priority and I can hardly wait for the memories we’ll create!

DESTINATION HIGHLIGHTS

 
 

ROME

Rome is the historic city and capital of Roma province. Rome is located in the central portion of the Italian peninsula. Rome was once the capital of an ancient republic and empire whose armies and politics defined the Western world and left seemingly indelible imprints thereafter. It is the spiritual and physical seat of the Roman Catholic Church, and the site of major pinnacles of artistic and intellectual achievement, Rome is the Eternal City, remaining today a political capital, a religious centre, and a memorial to the creative imagination of the past.

FLORENCE

Florence, capital of Italy’s Tuscany region, is home to many masterpieces of Renaissance art and architecture. One of its most iconic sights is the Duomo, a cathedral with a terracotta-tiled dome engineered by Brunelleschi and a bell tower by Giotto. The Galleria dell'Accademia displays Michelangelo’s “David” sculpture.

 
 
 

RYDER CUP DETAILS

Today, the Ryder Cup is golf’s pre-eminent event, biennially bringing together 12-member teams from the U.S. and Europe for glory and pride on a three-day worldwide stage. Spanning 91 years and now 42 competitions, the Ryder Cup also is among the last great professional sporting events where winning, and not prize money, is the reward.

Tickets – We have purchased tickets to enjoy the Ryder Cup at the Champions Pavilion. The light and airy Champions Pavilion is an ideal base from which to immerse yourself in the unique Ryder Cup atmosphere. The two-floor clubhouse overlooking the 17th offers a relaxed atmosphere, with seating throughout, refreshments served all day and large-screen TV coverage to keep you up-to-date with all the action from across the course. We will transfer your tickets to you in the coming weeks.

What to bring – In order to enter the event you will need to provide your physical passport and your mobile ticket.
