The 2020 Ryder Cup was officially postponed for one year on Wednesday and the Presidents Cup was moved to 2022. In a joint statement, officials said the decision to postpone and shuffle the schedule “was based on guidance from the Centers for disease Control and Prevention, and in conjunctio­n with the state of Wisconsin and Sheboygan County, with the health and well-being of all involved as the top priority.” The 43rd ryder Cup, scheduled for Sept. 22-27, at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wis., has been reschedule­d for Sept. 21-26,

2021. The Presidents Cup, initially slated for Sept. 30-Oct. 3, 2021, at Quail hollow Club in Charlotte, N.C., will now be played Sept. 19-25, 2022.
