FARMINGDALE, N.Y. – As the crowds grew on Saturday at Bethpage Black it wasn’t hard to imagine a similar scene in five years when the Ryder Cup will be played at the “People’s Country Club.”
“I mean, listen, the atmosphere will be unbelievable, first and foremost,” Graeme McDowell said.
But if the intensity of the crowds for the 2024 matches isn’t in question, how the Black Course will be set up for the event is certainly a talking point.
“This [the PGA Championship] won't be the 2024 Ryder Cup setup, I can tell that you. This looks more like Paris than Hazeltine,” McDowell said of the PGA Championship setup.
