13 photos of diehard Ryder Cup fans dressed in the most wacky of outfits and costumes

The 2023 Ryder Cup has officially teed off in Italy at Marco Simone, with — as of publishing this — Team Europe getting off to a hot start against the United States squad.

And while there’s plenty of golf to enjoy, there’s also the atmosphere. It’s the best in golf — fans go nuts, players talk trash, it’s so much fun.

So let’s focus on that for the moment: The outfits and costumes fans choose to root on both sides are just fantastic. Below you’ll find a roundup of the best photos we found from Day 1.
