NEWS RELEASE
ROME -- The Italian Golf Federation will bid to hold the 2022 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club (pictured above) just outside Rome.
Located in Guidonia, north-east of the Italian capital city, Marco Simone hosted the 1994 Italian Open won by Eduardo Romero of Argentina.
The federation said today its choice followed a consultation with IMG.
Italy is one of seven European countries that have expressed an interest in hosting the 2022 Ryder Cup match.
The European Tour announced in September that notifications were also received from Austria, Denmark, Germany, Portugal, Spain and Turkey.
Ryder Cup officials will undertake inspection visits before the end of the year.
Formal submissions must be made by mid-February, and the winning bid will be announced later in 2015.
