THE OPENING CEREMONY BEGINS
TV host Carson Daly is on introductory duties. He’s just reminding everyone it’s been 730 days since the last Ryder Cup. The next five promise to pack about as much drama in as the previous two years.
We now have a nice Ryder Cup montage with footage of editions gone by, which is helping set the tone nicely for what’s to come. Where’s that scene of Ian Poulter with the bulging eyes at Medinah though? Oh, there it is! They’ve not missed a trick with this. That got the emotions stirring.
We’re back to the stage now and here we go.

NOW IT FEELS REAL
It’s felt like an age since the two teams were finalized with the captain’s picks, but the Opening Ceremony is where things get very real indeed, and as it well might – the 45th Ryder Cup begins the day after tomorrow!
Goodness knows how the players are feeling because I’m already a bundle of nervous anticipation.
Anyway, while we wait for the Opening Ceremony to begin, just one thing to note – the timing for the captains to reveal their pairings for the Friday morning foursomes hasn’t changed. We’re still expecting that this time tomorrow.

WELCOME!
Welcome to Golf Monthly’s coverage of the Ryder Cup Opening Ceremony, which has been brought forward by a day because of the probability of “inclement weather” on Thursday.
I’ll take you through all the points of note as it unfolds at Bethpage Black, where we’re expecting, among other things, ceremonial speeches and introductions.
We’re about 10 minutes away from the start.
