Ryder Cup Reverses Selfie Ban

Do over! The Ryder Cup, a golf tournament held every two years and hosted by the PGA of America and the PGA European Tour, has apparently reversed their earlier decision to ban social media and selfies during the event.

“We want people to share their stories online and feel part of the Ryder Cup,” said match director Edward Kitson in a release. “Selfies are positively encouraged and I expect to see plenty of them during the event.”

Audio and video recordings will still be prohibited during game play, but event organizers say they’ve planned interactive activities around the course that use Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to allow spectators to access social media through a “special wristband.”
