Because it’s only contested over three days, the Ryder Cup doesn’t get started until Friday, which, for golf fans accustomed to getting things underway on Thursdays every week, makes the buildup that much longer. As we speak, Golf Channel is currently running the piece on the time Tiger and Phil played together at the 2004 Ryder Cup for the 300th time, and we still haven’t even gotten to the opening ceremony. Just get on with it already!

Thankfully, this year’s A+(+++) crop of WAGs photos from the Ryder Cup Gala have given us something to pass the time. Here were some of our favourites.
