It’s the Ryder Cup birdies! A VERY glamorous line-up of golfing WAGs join their men as they jet off to Minnesota ahead of the tournament
- The wives and girlfriends of Team Europe joined their golfing beaus
- Flew out of Terminal 5 ahead of the 2016 Ryder Cup in Minnesota
- GWAGs include a model, former Miss Northern Ireland and actress
It seems the golfing wives and girlfriends are keen to make the Ryder Cup a much classier affair than its football counterpart.
Coleen Rooney, Alex Gerrard, Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole were ridiculed for their hot pants, hair extensions and high-octane glamour when they landed in Baden Baden for the World Cup in 2006 and coined the term ‘WAG’.
But there’s not a whisper of impropriety surrounding the golf girls. Forget sky-high Louboutins and Hermes Birkin bags, the GWAGs prefer a more pared-down look.
The wives and girlfriends of Team Europe proved it as they joined their golfing beaus at the Hilton London Heathrow Airport Terminal 5 ahead of the 2016 Ryder Cup in Minnesota on Monday.
The wives and girlfriends of Team Europe joined their golfing beaus to fly out to the 2016 Ryder Cup in Minnesota on Monday. Captain of Europe, Darren Clarke posed with his wife Alison
Leading the troop was Team Europe captain Darren Clarke and his wife, Alison.
When he suffered the tragic loss of his beloved wife, Heather, from breast cancer in 2006, Darren would have been forgiven for thinking he might never know true happiness again.
In the days following his loss, the Northern Irishman battled with grief and his golfing career took a nosedive; any chance of a title steadily receded.
But just a few years later, Darren got his life firmly back on track.

His return to form following the untimely death of Heather, 39, had been slow, but as he lifted the Claret cup with tears in his eyes in 2011, he thanked his fiancée, Alison, a former Miss Northern Ireland, for supporting him through these troubled times.
The man from Dungannon, County Tyrone, said meeting his new partner helped him to find his feet and get back to his roots.
Clarke told the Telegraph: ‘Meeting Alison has put my life back on track. I’ve moved back home to Portrush from London and it’s a lot easier to play better whenever family life is much more stable.
Darren met beauty queen Alison back in 2009 when the pair was set up on a blind date by fellow golfer Graeme McDowell.

Darren was unaware that Alison, then running a successful model agency in Northern Ireland, had once known such success in the modelling world herself.
‘I had no idea who Alison was whatsoever, absolutely no clue, he says. ‘I lived in London, so I had no idea.,’ he said.
Fortunately, the two hit it off immediately: ‘We met, we talked before we went out and had dinner — we got on like the proverbial house on fire,’ he said.
Soon after meeting Ms Campbell, Darren moved with his children back to his native Northern Ireland, fuelling speculation that the move meant his relationship with Ms Campbell was becoming more serious.
Also joining the crew was Belgium’s Thomas Pieters, 24, who was joined by his naturally stunning girlfriend, Eva Bossaerts.
Eva, who is thought to be around the same age as Thomas and keeps a very low profile on social media, dressed down casually for the flight.

She wore a simple black top and trousers with a white blazer and white pumps. She wore her blonde highlighted hair up.
Thomas, who is ranked 39, looks on his way to become Europe’s answer to Dustin Johnson. He has been describe as ‘tall, athletic and as exuding an intimidating air.’
Sheffield-born Danny Willett and his wife Nicole also joined the line-up. The 28-year-old married Nicole in 2013 and they live in Rotherham, Yorkshire.
The couple welcomed their first child, Zachariah, earlier this year – and Danny considered skipping the Masters if Nicole had not given birth by the start of the tournament on April 7 but luckily the baby arrived early on March 30.
Zachariah’s due date was on April 10 – the day of Willett’s success – but Nicole had a C-section, with the golfer then tweeting: ‘Well well well!! Me and @Nicolewillett88 are home with our new addition… Zachariah James Willett!!! Mum and baby doing awesome!! #daddio.’

The rest was history, as Willett finished on five under par, beating Jordan Spieth by three shots, aided by the 22-year-old Texan’s collapse on the 12th hole during the final round.
Willett – who is the first Englishman to win the Augusta tournament since Sir Nick Faldo in 1996 – and his wife held hands as they made their way into the airport.

Also bringing some glamour to the golfing green is Lee Westwood’s girlfriend, Helen Storey.
Dressed in a popular Zara coat, a black top and tailored trousers with heels, the model looks glossy and glamorous for the occasion.
According to reports in the Sun on Sunday last year, Lee met Helen, 39, after splitting with his wife.

The pair have apparently known each other for years, as the divorced mother-of-one is a recognised face around the golfing circuit.
The couple have a mutual connection in Graham Wylie, the Sage Group co-founder, who owns Close House golf course – where Westwood is the resident professional – and is married to Storey’s sister Andrea.
Another addition was Suzanne Torrance, wife of Europe team vice captain Sam Torrance, who has an illustrious career.
The 57-year-old, who goes by the stage name of Suzanne Danielle, is an actress and dancer.
At the age of 16, she starred in the West End musical Billy, which lead her to dancing on a Bruce Forsyth show called Bruce and More Girls. Many film and theatre appearances followed.
In 1986, she met Sam, who proposed to her in 1987 on a Concorde flight on the way to play in the Ryder Cup in Columbus, Ohio.

The couple, who have four children together, tied the knot in 1995 in a surprise wedding at Skibo Castle.
Spaniard Rafa Cabrera Bello was joined by his stunning girlfriend, Sofia Lundstedt, who looked trendy in a chunky white jumper, navy jacket and jeans.
According to her LinkedIn, she works in Client Relations and Business Development for the PGA European Tour.
Prior to that, she was a Marketing Coordinator at Louis Vuitton and Assistant Sales and Marketing Manager at Dubai Golf.
The Swedish beauty was also an eventing rider, studied in Dublin and speaks several languages.

Caroline Harrington was, of course, there to support her Irish husband, Padraig.
The pair have known each other since childhood and tied the know back in 1997; they have two sons.
The glamorous 43-year-old worked as an insurance broker but left her career behind to walk the course and travel the world with her husband. Many credit her as the driving force behind his success.

Finally, Chris Wood, 28, was joined by his wife, Bethany, who displayed a bronze tan. Dressed in a grey cardigan, indigo jeans and boots, the GAWG cuddled up to her man as they posed for snaps.
The ladies will be joining their men on the course and cheering them to victory.
The Europeans have been dominant in recent years, winning the prestigious trophy on the past three occasions, and Clarke will hope to continue that run when the three-day competition starts on Friday at Hazeltine National.

Remaining team members Matthew Fitzpatrick, Sergio Garcia, Justin Rose, and Henrik Stenson will soon join up with Clarke’s camp as will Tour Championship victor Rory McIlroy.
The Northern Irishman pocked £9.2million in prize money on Sunday evening following a thrilling play-off victory in Georgia against Ryan Moore and Kevin Chappell.
McIlroy, a three time Ryder Cup winner, forced a play-off with a vintage finish to his round having trailed Moore and Chappell by two shots, with just three holes to play.

Having clinched such a memorable triumph, McIlroy will hope to extend that momentum at Hazeltine.
Team USA will want revenge in their own backyard for the past three defeats and Davis Love III possesses a strong side.
A fortnight ago, Love selected Rickie Fowler, JB Holmes and Matt Kuchar as his first three captain’s picks.
The eight automatic U.S. qualifiers, confirmed after last month’s Barclays tournament, were announced as U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson, Jordan Spieth, Phil Mickelson, Patrick Reed, PGA Championship winner Jimmy Walker, Brooks Koepka, Brandt Snedeker and Zach Johnson.
Ryan Moore picked up a consolation prize on Sunday as he was named the final member of the U.S.A Ryder Cup squad, with both sides gearing up for competitive action on Friday.
