Bolton's Bid for 2035 Ryder Cup Gains Momentum with Fleetwood's Endorsement

English golfer Tommy Fleetwood has thrown his weight behind Bolton's bid to host the 2035 Ryder Cup, emphasizing the significance of bringing this prestigious tournament to England and his hometown in the North West. This comes after Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham announced Bolton's intention to bid for the event, which would mark the first time the Ryder Cup has been held in England in over three decades. Fleetwood highlighted the region's warm hospitality, excellent infrastructure, and his own eagerness to support the bid. The mayor has pledged up to £69.9m for transportation improvements, including a new link road and dedicated bus routes, to facilitate the event's success. Burnham views the Ryder Cup as a catalyst for growth, driven by culture and sports, and is committed to delivering a 'lasting legacy' with a bespoke, world-class course at Hulton Park. A formal bid is expected next month, with the goal of making Bolton the host of the largest Ryder Cup to date in 2035.
