Ryder Cup: New York storm threat forces opening ceremony to be moved

Advertisements

The pairings for Friday’s opening Ryder Cup matches will be announced at 21:00 BST on Thursday despite the opening ceremony being moved to Wednesday because of the threat of inclement weather in New York.

Storms are forecast to hit Bethpage Black around the same time as the traditional curtain-raiser, so organisers are taking no chances of the event being interrupted.

An hour-long pre-show will now begin at 20:00 on Wednesday, with the ceremony following that.

Usually, both captains reveal their pairings for Friday morning’s opening matches during the ceremony.

However, Europe captain Luke Donald and US skipper Keegan Bradley will keep their pairings under wraps until the time they would have been officially announced on the Thursday.
