Europe is HOT, USA meh. We'll see how it goes Sat-Sun.
Different format. When you watch PGA Tournaments on TV, the only holes that matter, are usually the last 3 or 4 .. that's all they have to cover.

Ryder Cup/Match Play are not viewer friendly, nor does it generate the ratings that The Masters does. Cost prohibitive for the same sort of TV coverage.
