Stars from sport music film and food bring extra shine to Bethpage Black ahead of the 45th Ryder Cup
Las Vegas - Michael Strahan, Eli Manning, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Pau Gasol headline the Ryder Cup All-Star Celebrity Match, set for 24 September at Bethpage Black in New York.
The 10-hole scramble will feature leading names from the United States and Europe, ranging from chefs to actors to musicians, contested over a mix of holes including the storied closing stretch at Bethpage.
“Celebrity events like this add another layer to what is already one of the world’s greatest sporting occasions,” organisers said, noting that live scoring and highlights will be available throughout the day.
Europe’s team includes Zeta-Jones, Gasol, Tom Felton, Teemu Selänne, Toni Kukoč, Oliver Phelps, Brooklyn Beckham and Chef José Andrés. Strahan and Manning spearhead the American side with John McEnroe, Miranda Lambert, Noah Kahan, Kane Brown, Bobby Flay and Colin Jost.
The match begins at 7.45am and serves as a curtain-raiser for the Ryder Cup itself, which tees off two days later when Luke Donald’s Europe face Zach Johnson’s United States.
