Next September, the Ryder Cup will be contested in the City of Light, but for years to come the matches are likely to be a blackout for the Euros.

THE RYDER CUP is dead—you just don’t know it yet.

One of the greatest events in sport is on the verge of irrelevancy. The young, talented, hungry golfers from the United States, benefiting from the cohesive leadership of the Task Force era, are going to roll to victory in 2018 in Paris. This will be the first American win on European soil in a quarter century and, coming on the heels of an overpowering U.S. win in ’16, will set the stage for a decade-plus of blowouts, sapping the intrigue out of the Ryder Cup. It’s going to get so lopsided that you can expect future Ryder Cups to have all the dramatic tension of...gasp!...the Presidents Cup.
