Sweden out of race for 2018 Ryder Cup
THE Swedish Golf Federation and Scandinavian Golf Event Management, the company behind the country's bid to host the Ryder Cup, have decided to withdraw their candidature for the 2018 contest and switch their focus to the 2022 event.
The organisers cited a weakened economy and insurmountable challenges in terms of sourcing the necessary finances – including lack of Government funding – as the reasons for their decision to pull out of the race. France, Germany, Holland, Portugal and the city of Madrid are the other parties involved in the bid to stage the biennial match in 2018.
