The Ryder Cup, spanning competitions over seven decades and held every two
years, is one of the last great sporting events exemplifying prestige rather
than prize money. Initially between the US and the UK, European representation
also includes players from Ireland, Italy, France, Spain, Germany, Denmark and
Sweden.
In this breathtaking panoramic view LeRoy Neiman captures and captivates us with
the verdant splendor of Louisville’s championship golf course Valhalla, with
it’s rolling hills, still blue waters and lush fairways. In the distance stands
the steeple topped clubhouse overlooking the natural amphitheaters and the wide
disbursement of the gallery with eight different balls in play. Spectators
observe in hushed silence as they watch the intense concentration of players
from two continents compete. Displaying their national pride are America’s Stars
& Stripes, while the navy bunting with a circle of stars represents the European
Union Flag. If one looks closely Neiman can be seen situated near a tree in the
foreground, sketching the excitement of the moment.
Valhalla was named for the great hall described in Norse mythology where the
souls of Vikings feasted and celebrated with the gods. The artist, who has
sketched many players at Valhalla including Tiger Woods, says the famed course
“has the feeling it was conceived for the majors.” As always Neiman’s brilliant
brush work translates the intense mental and physical stakes, where golfers and
spectators know a mere putt or drive could mean the difference between winning
and losing.
