Join us for the premiere episode 01 of “Coaches’ Corner” as we go behind the scenes of one of the most dominant victories in Ryder Cup history.
We’re sitting down with a very special guest, Anders Forsbrand, who was the sole vice-captain for Bernhard Langer’s European team that achieved a landslide victory on American soil at Oakland Hills in 2004.
Anders will share personal anecdotes from that historic win, discussing the one-on-one dynamic with Langer and how they managed to unite a team of big personalities like Colin Montgomerie and Lee Westwood with young rookies like Ian Poulter and Luke Donald.
We’ll also explore the coaching revolution in golf. How did they prepare their strategy without modern data and analytics? And how would today’s technology, like the WatchitGolf apps, have been a game-changer in their decision-making? We’ll bridge the gap from 2004 to the recent European victory in 2025, discussing how the role of a captain has evolved from pure intuition to a blend of data and human insight.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
* The feeling and team chemistry behind Europe’s record-breaking 2004 win.
* The contrast between traditional coaching methods and today’s data-driven strategies.
* How modern tools could have influenced pairings and strategy at Oakland Hills.
* Anders’ perspective on the legacy of winning on the road and his advice for the next generation of Ryder Cup hopefuls.
