The Ryder Cup was cancelled in 2001 and moved to which year due to the 9/11 terrorist attack in the USA?
The Ryder Cup, a prestigious biennial golf tournament between teams from Europe and the United States, was scheduled to be held in 2001 at The Belfry golf course in England. However, due to the terrorist attacks that took place on September 11, 2001, in the United States, the event was canceled and rescheduled for the following year.
The attacks on September 11, 2001, had a profound impact on the world, leading to the cancellation and postponement of numerous events across various industries, including sports. The 2001 Ryder Cup was moved to 2002 out of respect for the victims and to allow time for recovery and mourning. The event took place at The Belfry in September 2002, a year later than originally planned.
