Prepare for golf's most electrifying event as the Ryder Cup transforms the traditionally genteel sport into what Jack and Grant aptly describe as "a war" between Team USA and Team Europe. This episode breaks down everything you need to know about the unique atmosphere and format that makes the Ryder Cup special, even for casual golf fans.

The brothers dive deep into the 2024 team lineups, with Scottie Scheffler leading the American squad against Rory McIlroy's European contingent. They expertly explain the different match formats across the three-day competition: four-ball (where each player plays their own ball with the best score counting), foursomes (alternate shot with partners), and singles matches that create the Sunday drama.

What truly separates this episode is the fascinating trivia and historical context. Did you know the trophy is just 17 inches tall and was donated by a seed merchant who never played competitive golf? Or that Tiger Woods, arguably the greatest golfer ever, has a disappointing 13-21-3 Ryder Cup record? The brothers share these gems while explaining why home-field advantage has proven decisive in every competition since 2012.

The episode culminates with a friendly "Ryder Cup or Rubbish" quiz testing their knowledge of tournament facts, followed by analysis of the betting odds for those interested in wagering on the outcome. Whether you're a dedicated golf enthusiast or someone who only watches during team competitions, this preview delivers everything you need to appreciate the unique passion and national pride that makes the Ryder Cup appointment viewing.

Ready to experience golf's most intense team battle? Listen now and discover why even non-golf fans get drawn into the red, white, and blue fever of Ryder Cup weekend.
