One of the biggest events in world golf could be moving to Turkey after the country's federation revealed its interest in hosting the 2022 Ryder Cup. The competition between teams from Europe and the USA has been played since 1927, but has only once been staged outside Britain or the United States. The BBC's golf correspondent Iain Carter says in many respects Turkey is an obvious choice for the event.
"I think there is every chance of the mounting a bid and for it to be a successful one, if you look at the way that the golfing economy is travelling, it is heading east. We know that many more of the European Tours events are played in Asia than they ever have been before, it's where the bulk of the sponsorship money is going; we've just seen the completion of the inaugural Turkish Airlines Open which was won by Victor Dubuisson and big money was put into that, enough to attract Tiger Woods to play. Clearly, a Ryder Cup, a home Ryder Cup has to be played in Europe. Now Turkey straddles the border between Europe and Asia, so you would think that a golf course would good enough to stage a Ryder Cup would need to be built on the European side of Turkey and the authorities there say that if that's what it takes, that's what they'll do."世界最大的高尔夫赛事之一可能将移师土耳其。此前，该国联合会披露称有举办2022年莱德杯（Ryder Cup） 的意向。自1972年开赛以来，竞赛一直在欧美球队间展开，只有一次是在英国和美国之外的国家举办。BBC高尔夫通讯记者伊恩‧卡特（Iain Carter）称，在许多方面，土耳其都是理所当然的选择。
“我认为，这肯定会是一次成功的投标。你观察一下高尔夫经济的走向，它在向东迁移。我们知道，越来越多的欧洲巡回赛在亚洲举办，已超出了以往的数目。大笔赞助费也流向亚洲。我们刚刚见证首届‘土耳其航空公开赛’（Turkish Airlines Open）闭幕，维克多‧杜比伊森（Victor Dubuisson）获胜。公开赛注入了大笔资金，足以吸引泰格‧伍兹（Tiger Woods）参赛。显然，莱德杯比赛，莱德杯的主场赛事必须在欧洲举行。既然土耳其地跨亚欧边界，你会认为有资格成为莱德杯赛场的高尔夫场地需要设在土耳其的欧洲部分。当局称，如果事该如此，他们愿意照办。
