Doesn't look like there will be any problems finding Russian and Chinese sponsors for the Ryder Cup.
Ryder Cup: "The hateful atmosphere has also made the competition so big" Former professional golfer Parnevik is not surprised by how the American crowd acted during the golf match between Europe and the USA, especially when Northern Irishman Rory McIlroy was subjected to very abusive words and his wife had beer thrown at her. – I think this does not belong in golf, but in a way, it has made the competition gain more interest worldwide, and this energy and almost hateful atmosphere have made it the biggest event there is, says Parnevik.

It was, to say the least, a heated conclusion to the Ryder Cup. Several times during the tournament, European golfers were subjected to jeers and insults from the crowd, not least Rory McIlroy. On several occasions, the audience was seen shouting "fuck you, Rory," which irritated the Northern Irishman. Due to the hostile atmosphere on the golf course, the police brought dogs on Sunday. On Monday, golf expert Johan Sköld visited SVT's Morning Studio, where he explained that the audience's reckless behavior was worse than expected. – That it would be this much, these are personal attacks and five-star swear words, moreover very close to hitting the strokes. Pure hooligan antics. Watch the segment on SVT News.
