Italian golf will really take off
after next year's Ryder Cup outside Rome, Italian Golf
Federation (FIG) President Franco Chimenti said Wednesday.
"After the Ryder Cup 2023 Italian golf will boom, via a truly
exponential growth," he said at the presentation of the 26th
edition of the Ladies Italian Open, taking place on 2-4 June at
the Golf Club Margara of Fubine Monferrato near Alessandria.
"We are very happy that the Female Italian Open has been
confirmed this year too as among the most highly anticipated
stages of the Ladies European Tour. I hope the Azzurre can cut
out a front-row role in a high-level field. The female Italian
movement ended 2021 with extremely encouraging numbers and an
increase in rookies equal to 101.30%. Being able to see the
champions of the international scene in action in Italy will
give further impetus to the increase in the number of women
players".
