KOHLER, Wisconsin. – The European Ryder Cup squad facing the United States this week at Whistling Straits were given a reminder of the select company they are in by way of an inspirational video shown to them.
The video shared on social media points out that 164 men have represented Team Europe in Ryder Cup play while 5,780 people have climbed Mount Everest, 570 have been to space, 445 have won the soccer World Cup and 225 have claimed golf majors.
“I’ve always known that being a part of the Ryder Cup team is very difficult, but I didn’t know that only that little number of players have made it,” Sergio Garcia told reporters on Tuesday (Wednesday in Manila) at Whistling Straits.
“So that showed you how difficult it really is. That’s why every time I’m a part of a team or the rest of our teammates, that’s why we give it the respect that it deserves, because it’s so difficult to be a part of it.” — Reuters
