Donald, Bradley trade jabs at Ryder Cup opening ceremony

Title Ryder Cup Captains Trade Jabs in Opening Ceremony Donald Stresses Legacy, Bradley Fires Up US Team

The 2023 Ryder Cup got underway at Bethpage Black, despite a brief delay due to thunderstorms. As thousands of fans cheered on their respective teams, captains Luke Donald of Europe and Keegan Bradley of the United States engaged in a verbal sparring match during the opening ceremony.

Donald emphasized the importance of legacy for European players, highlighting that they compete without financial incentives, unlike their American counterparts who receive $500,000 each for charity and personal use. He stressed that the Ryder Cup is about pride, saying, It's not about prize money or world ranking points. It's about time and again showing what we can achieve when we come together with a shared purpose.

Meanwhile, Bradley drew inspiration from Europe's most memorable Ryder Cup moments, including the infamous Battle of Brookline in 1999. He credited the event as a galvanizing force for himself and his team, saying, The moment lit a fire within me... The Ryder Cup doesn't just test skill; it reveals souls.

As the two captains spoke, they touched on the electric atmosphere expected at Bethpage Black this weekend. Donald joked about New York being a place where if you show up with talent and a fighting spirit, the city will get behind you – while Bradley praised Europe's passion, saying it elevates this competition.
