The PGA of America will announce on Wednesday that the Ryder Cup will be postponed until 2021, sources confirmed to Golf Channel.
Speculation had built for weeks, following reports in British newspapers the Telegraph and the Guardian, that the biennial competition would be pushed back a year because of the COVID-19 pandemic. ESPN first reported the news on Tuesday.
The 43rd Ryder Cup matches were originally scheduled for Sept 25-27 at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin. The location will remain the same and the 2021 dates will be similar, the source said.
As a result of the schedule change, the PGA Tour is expected to move the Presidents Cup, which was slated to be played in late September 2021 at Quail Hollow in Charlotte, North Carolina, to the fall of 2022.
