Rory McIlroy will be a key figure of the European team at this year's Ryder Cup. The combination of experience and quality of the Northern Irish golfer could be a winning combination. Before the start of the tournament, an important piece of information appeared; European players use VR glasses to prepare for this prestigious competition.
Luke Donald's 12 players wear VR goggles to simulate the types of conditions they may face.
This is certainly an innovation that we have not seen before in the world of golf, and most are surprised by this move by the European team.
Such an approach could be especially important for young golfers who do not have much experience in such prestigious tournaments.
The Northern Irish golfer hopes this will help the European team prepare better and achieve success.
