A few months ago, I had the opportunity to go over to Scotland and play the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles, site of the 2014 Ryder Cup courtesy of Standard Life Investments and the Telegraph. Myself and James Corrigan were filmed playing the course and talking about what to expect.
The previews were posted at theScore, and you can take a look at them at the below links.

Ultimate Ryder Cup
Posted on September 23, 2014 Leave a Comment
Thirty seven years ago, the Ryder Cup was in trouble of falling into a pit of irrelevancy. Team USA had won all but three of the biennial events against Great Britain since the inception back in 1927, and most of them by a wide margin. The addition of Irish players in 1953 helped a little bit but for the most part, the Ryder Cup was mostly an event for the Americans to prove their dominance over Britain.
Noticing that this was becoming a bigger problem, Jack Nicklaus suggested that the format be tweaked to allow all of Europe into the competition, and in 1979, that’s exactly what happened, but there was only one problem: the Americans still dominated, winning 17-11 at the Greenbrier and 18.5-9.5 two years later on European soil at Walton Heath. In 1983 though, Europe made it close, losing only by one point before taking the 1985 event at the Belfry. Since then, Europe has dominated the event, winning nine of thirteen and not losing at home since 1993.
There have been a lot of great players on both sides since the event took this form 35 years ago, so I decided to put them together into one team for both Europe and the United States. Some tough decisions were made and players were definitely left off that were worthy, such as Ray Floyd and Sam Torrance, but here are my picks for the Ultimate Ryder Cup.
