The 2021 Ryder Cup, one of the most esteemed and beloved sporting events each year, will come to a close. It is scheduled to begin on September 24 and run until September 26, potentially returning to the US.
The 2021 Ryder Cup, a popular event for Illinois gamblers, will be held at Whistling Straits Golf Course in Sheboygan, WI, as sports betting in Illinois continues to gain momentum.
The most recent Ryder Cup victory for Team USA was in 2016 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota. This was also the last time the tournament was hosted in the US. Could this give the United States a home field advantage?
