Golf's Ryder Cup may be North Texas' best chance to end its long championship drought.
Scottie Scheffler, seen here in the final round of the Charles Schwab Challenge at Colonial Country Club on May 28 in Fort Worth, is one of a long line of golfing greats from North Texas.Our professional sports teams haven’t won a championship in a dirty dozen years, since the Dallas Mavericks won their only NBA title in the summer of 2011. It’s closing in on 4,500 sleeps since we awakened to a trophy.
That’s right. Forget our once-great America’s Team. We’re gearing up to co-opt a better, more authentic America’s Team, the golf squad that will represent the United States in the upcoming Ryder Cup. The sport may have been born around fabled St. Andrew’s in 15th-century Scotland, but it’s reaching puberty right here in our backyard. Frisco, to be exact.
The thing about the Ryder Cup is that it’s played not for pennies, but only for pride. That’s saying something in today’s professional sports world, especially on a PGA Tour where Sheffler this year earned $21 million and year-end tournament champ Viktor Hovland pocketed — for four days of work, mind you — a cool $18 million.
One day the Ryder Cup will come to Frisco’s Fields Ranch East Course. Alas, it will be much later rather than sooner.
