CATCH IT AT 4:00 P.M. EASTERN TIME RIGHT HERE ON GOLF CHANNEL. HERE’S A LOOK AT THE UPCOMING EVENTS ON THE PGA TOUR AS THEY PLAY THE FALL PORTION OF THE SCHEDULE WHICH INCLUDES SIX EVENTS. THE LAST ONE WILL BE THE RSM CLASSIC IN NOVEMBER AND FOR MORE ON WHAT’S PGS THIS WEEK HAPPENIE SEND IT OUT TO TODD LEWIS. >> ON MONDAY IT WAS A LITTLE FOGGY FOR EVERYONE INVOLVED INCLUDING RASMUS HOJGAARD WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE RYDER CUP AS THE FIRST TIME AS A PLAYER AND FRANCISCO MOLINARI. THEY ADMIT THEY’LL HAVE TO FIND SOME ENERGY THIS WEEK, AND IT WILL BE TOUGH FOR THEM TO FOCUS CONSIDERING THE EUPHORIA THEY EXPERIENCED LAST WEEK. >> I THINK IT EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. I HAD A PRETTY GOOD IDEA WHAT THE RYDER CUP IS FROM BEING AROUND THE TEAM IN ’23 IN ROME, BUT IT’S A PLAYER AND THE EXPERIENCE OF THE WHOLE THING — DEFINITELY MAKES YOU — >> WHAT ARE THE GREATEST MEMORIES YOU HAVE FROM LAST WEEK? >> I THINK IT WAS AWAY FROM THE GOLF COURSE IN THE TEAM ROOM. WE — THERE WAS GOOD FUN IN THERE. EVEN THE PRACTICE DAYS WE HAD THE WEEK PRIOR TO THE RYDER CUP WAS AMAZING. GETTING TO KNOW EVERYONE A LITTLE BIT MORE AND ALL OF THE 11 GUYS KNEW EACH OTHER VERY WELL. I HAD TO SORT OF PICK A FEW BRAINS THAT WEEK, BUT NO, I THINK THE TEAM WAS PRETTY SPECIAL. >> NOW THAT YOU’VE BEEN A PART OF THE RYDER CUP AS A PLAYER, WE’D LOVE YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON WHY DO YOU THINK EUROPE IS SO CONSISTENTLY GOOD IN THESE MATCHES? >> GOOD QUESTION. I’D LIKE TO HAVE SOME OF THE OTHER GUYS TO ANSWER THAT FOR ME. I THINK THERE’S BEEN A DNA IN THE EUROPEAN TEAM ROOM FOR DECADES NOW. IT STARTED WITH EVERYONE BACK THEN AND THEN IT’S JUST BEEN PASSED ON BY GENERATIONS AND I THINK WE STUCK TO THAT AND OBVIOUSLY HAVING VERY SMART PEOPLE LOOKING AROUND THE TEAM AND AN INCREDIBLE LEADER AND A VERY GOOD CAPTAIN. I THINK IT CREATED THE WHOLE ENVIRONMENT FOR US TO GO OUT AND PERFORM, SO WE HAVE TO GIVE CREDIT THAT WAY. >> THERE WAS A LOT OF CELEBRATION, AND A LOT OF DRINKING FROM SOME OF THE GUYS, BUT THEY DESERVED IT. IT WAS AN INTENSE WEEK FOR EVERYONE. THEY DID AN AMAZING JOB. MYSELF, I HAD A 5:30 WAKE-UP CALL. I STUDIED AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE AND LEFT THEM CELEBRATING. >> WITHOUT GIVING AWAY ALL OF THE ECRETS, AMERICANS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IS EUROPE SUCH A GOOD TEAM IN THIS FORMAT? >> GREAT QUESTION. I THINK, OBVIOUSLY, WE’VE BEEN LUCKY TO HAVE GENERATION AFTER GENERATION OF VERY TALENTED PLAYERS. I THINK THIS GENERATION MIGHT BE, IN MY OPINION THE APEX. WE HAVE SOME VERY STRONG PLAYERS AND STRONG PERSONALITIES THAT ARE REALLY HAPPY TO BED IN ENVIRONMENT AND HELPING HAD THE YOUNGER GUYS OR THE GUYS WITH LESS EXPERIENCE AND THEY LOOK THE LAST FOUR YEARS THEY’VE DONE AN AMAZING JOB IN PREPPING THEM IN ANY POSSIBLE WAY FOR WHAT WAS COMING. IT’S A COMBINATION OF MANY SMALL FACTORS, I WOULD SAY. >> THERE’S ONLY ONE MEMBER OF THE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM AND THAT IS BRANDT SNEDEKER. PLENTY FOR BRANDT TO REFLECT ON NEXT WEEK, BUT HE’S LOOKING FORWARD. SNEDEKER IS THE UNITED STATES CAPTAIN OF THE PRESIDENTS’ CUP THAT WILL TAKE PLACE NEXT YEAR IN CHICAGO. >> I REALIZE HE PUT SO MUCH OF HIS LIFE IN THE LAST YEAR AND A HALF AND YOU REALLY NEED TO PUT TIME, ENERGY AND EFFORT AND THEY WERE THE DETAILS OVER THE COURSE OF A WEEK, AND I DID A A TAN TAFTIC JOB. YOU CAN’T PICK THAT AND TACKING TO THEM ASK GET WELL AND THEIR FAMILIES, AND IT SHOWS WHATEVER THEY DO THAT AND THEY’LL FIGHT FOR YOU, AND I SAW WHAT KIND OF FIGHT THOSE GUYS HAVE. >> THERE ARE SOME THAT BELIEVE THAT THE EUROPEAN TEAM HAS WHAT WOULD YOU SAY ABOUT THE UNITED STATES TEAM COMPARED TO THAT? >> I’VE NEVER BEEN ON A TEAM WITH THE UNITED STATES GUYS AND THEY’RE WILLING TO SACRIFICE FOR EACH OTHER IN THAT ROOM, AND IT’S A NARRATIVE THAT’S GONE ON FOR A LONG TIME. UNTIL WE WIN A CUP ECHL THESE O AND IT WILL KEEP GOING ON, AND THOSE SEE HOW CLOSE THOSE GUYS GET THAT WEEK, IT WOULD BE HARD TO SAY THAT IF YOU WERE IN THE ROOM WITH THOSE GUYS. >> FROM THE EXPERIENCE OF THE RYDER CUP LAST WEEK THERE IS PLENTY TO PLAY FOR HERE IN JACKSON. HOJGAARD IS CURRENTLY 87th IN THE FEDEX CUP STANDINGS AND SNEDEKER IS 120th AND MOLINARI IS 102nd. THE TOP 100 WILL HAVE EXEMPT STANDINGS FOR 2026 AND THE
