The 45th Ryder Cup, being played this week at New York’s Bethpage Black, features 24 players, 28 matches.
For the vast majority of us watching at your local golf club in Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and across the rest of the MENA region, or at home on your own TV or streaming online, it may not quite replicate the raucous atmosphere likely in store on Long Island. But it will let you catch all the action over the three days as the US tries to win back the cup after losing to the Europeans outside Rome two years ago.
