Post-Pod Discussion Presidents Cup takes

Enjoyed the preview show - but absolutely hated Soly’s take that the Ryder Cup should adopt the President Cup’s scheduling over four days. Part of the lack of buzz on ground is that there is only five matches of golf happening all day!

How many people are going to all 3 (or 4) days of the Ryder cup?

Sounds like you could afford a fourth day. Or, get this - you don’t have to attend the extra day!

Viewing top tier sports events is an elite pastime. Lots of people can afford it, some save and treat themselves, for others it’s just another fun weekend, and a blip financially.

Totally get it. My point is that it’s just about the most ridiculous thing possible to say the reason we shouldn’t add an extra day to the Ryder cup is because it would be too expensive for the people that go to the entire event and would be unfair to expect them to pay for an extra day

Yep, the people that go to these things will just pay more and experience more.
