Ryder Cup 2023 schedule: When will the tee-off timings and pairings be announced?

The 44th Ryder Cup is all set to take place from September 29 to October 1, marking a new chapter in the history of this prestigious tournament.

Fans are now focused on a crucial moment, the official announcement of tee-off times and pairings, as the level of excitement reaches a fever pitch.

Traditionally held in late September or early October, the Ryder Cup is a three-day event that functions as a thrilling culmination to the golf season's major championships. This year's Ryder Cup is even more significant, as it is the first time Italy will host the competition.

The tournament will take place at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, located just outside Rome. This picturesque venue has previously hosted top-tier golf tournaments, including the Italian Open. Now, it is preparing to host the tournament between the finest golfers from the United States and Europe.

The announcement of tee-off times and pairings is a moment that adds to the enthusiasm of the tournament for both fans and professionals. The pairings will determine the pairings for the foursome and fourball segments on the first two days, while the singles match on Sunday will provide the event's climax.

The tee times for the first foursomes games will be released at 4:45 p.m. (1.15 p.m. IST) on Thursday as part of the opening ceremony.
