The Ryder Cup tees off on Friday, September 29th and runs through Sunday, October 1st. The Marco Simone course was designed by Jim Fazio in the 1980s and remodeled between 2018 and 2021 in preparation for the Ryder Cup. The course has bunker-heavy landing areas that will force some tough decisions as well as beautiful views of the Roman countryside.
