The Ryder Cup could be hosted in Middle East. Leading business figures in Abu Dhabi and Dubai have told The Sunday Telegraph of their interest in making an offer to host the biggest event in golf. Qatar is also thought to be considering a bid having made moves to stage both the 2016 Olympics and 2018 Football World Cup. The region has revolutionised European golf through the multi-million dollar Race to Dubai, a joint venture between the European Tour and Leisurecorp, a company owned by the Dubai government. Golf is a massive tourist pull in the area and David Spencer, the chief executive of Leisurecorp, confirmed the group's interest in heading a bid for the Ryder Cup.Spencer said: "It makes sense. Golf tourism is a fantastic product that we can gain more market share in. [A bid] has certainly crossed my mind. It's crossed [European Tour chief executive] George O'Grady's mind.

I won't be watching. It won't be the Ryder Cup if it's played in the goddamn middle east. The Olympics in 2016 ????? In the summer ? As that long lost comedian once said......YOU LIVE IN A DESERT !!!!!!

I know money talks an bull&*^%t walks. But I have to agree with JJ on this one. Its the good ole USA against the Europeans. Since when is Dhabi in Europe. This is setting a bad precedent in my opinion. Who will bid on it next Australia. New Zealand, Figi Islands? Stop this madness right now I say.  If they dont the ryder cup will never be the same.
