Fans are now focused on a crucial moment, the official announcement of tee-off times and pairings, as the level of excitement reaches a fever pitch.
Traditionally held in late September or early October, the Ryder Cup is a three-day event that functions as a thrilling culmination to the golf season's major championships. This year's Ryder Cup is even more significant, as it is the first time Italy will host the competition.

Now, it is preparing to host the tournament between the finest golfers from the United States and Europe.
The announcement of tee-off times and pairings is a moment that adds to the enthusiasm of the tournament for both fans and professionals.
