The Ryder Cup takes place this year at Whistling Straits as Padraig Harrington’s European side look to retain the trophy they won in 2018 at Le Golf National in France.
Meanwhile, Steve Stricker’s side will be aiming to replicate the result last time the Ryder Cup was held in America, winning 17-11 at Hazeltine in 2016.
This year’s venue, Whistling Straits, is set on the shores of Lake Michigan and the weather promises to be a key factor is which side will come out victorious on September 26th.
When the PGA Championship was hosted at Whistling Straits in 2015, there were a number of weather delays due to storms in the area which often gather over Lake Michigan.
The Straits Course is one of the harder courses in America on a good day, but being set on the shores of one the Great Lakes makes the weather changeable, windy and often damp.
So, what does the weather look like for the upcoming Ryder Cup? Take a look below.
