The 2023 Ryder Cup kicked off on Thursday at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, Italy, with a jam-packed opening ceremony before the tournament's official start on Friday.
The opening ceremony was highlighted by the introduction of both Team USA and Team Europe by Sky Sport Italy presenter Melissa Satta.
Opera singer Carly Paoli also sung the Italian national anthem after both teams were led out onto the stage and singer-songwriter Tom Grennan performed a two-song set to open and close the ceremony.
