Europe, on the other hand, was locked in the Ryder Cup on Sunday – which makes sense, not only Because they won the 15-13 CupBut due to the fact that they entered the last day of play with a massive advance. Sky Sports said He had a record of 5 million viewers looking at Sunday, which increased 45% compared to the Ryder Cup 2023 in Rome. The weekend, he said, was the most watched in the history of Sky Sports.
Now, to be fair, the Ryder Cup will never draw a massive audience in the United States. The last day of play is still facing the NFL, which eliminates a large part of viewers. Sunday was also the last day of the regular MLB season.

But the performance of the United States in the first two days has certainly not helped. Europe took a dominant advance of 11.5-4.5 on the Americans in matches in single Sunday, which marked the biggest European advance after two days in the history of the Ryder Cup. They only needed 2.5 points to keep the cup, then won an additional half-point before the game started on Sunday after Viktor Hovland had to withdraw with his neck injury.
