The 44th Ryder Cup will take place at the Marco Simone, Rome, Italy. The cup is commencing from the 29th of September to the 1st of October. This is the first time that Italy is hosting the Ryder Cup. The course has held three Italy Opens in the past. 

The European players are quite familiar with the course. As the players landed in Italy, the Americans, too, had their fair chance to familiarize themselves with it. 

The Marco Simone is a harsh and unforgiving golf course. The temperatures are rising high and even the European captain has shown concerns with his decision to rest players more. Team US vice-captain, Stewart Cink, also claimed that the Marco Simone is “probably the most demanding physically of any (Ryder) Cup course I’ve ever seen.”
