PGA Introduces Ryder Cup Fan Pledge: We Are (Lucky #) 13!

Because American fans have been so dispassionate, quiet and largely forgotten in domestic Ryder Cups, they now have a pledge program complete with PSA messages from Alison Lee, Michael Phelps and Tom Brady asking you to support maybe, maybe the best team ever assembled.

There is actually a pledge to read too. And a shirt you can buy in merchandise "on-site at Hazeltine National Golf Club, online at underarmour.com and at select Dick’s Sporting Goods stores across the country with all proceeds going to support the PGA REACH Foundation and youth golf initiatives across the 41 PGA Sections."

USA! USA!

For Immediate Release (PSA's there too if you must):

PGA of America Officially Launches “We Are 13” Fan Campaign at the 2016 Ryder Cup
Athletes Michael Phelps, Tom Brady and Alison Lee join celebrity Anthony Anderson as “First Fans”

CHASKA, MINN. (Sept. 27, 2016) – Looking to amplify fan support behind the 2016 U.S. Ryder Cup Team, the PGA of America today officially launched the “We are 13” fan campaign at Hazeltine National Golf Club. Created to encourage fan support and excitement for the 2016 Ryder Cup, the premise for “We Are 13” is to unite the entire nation behind the 12 U.S. players in their quest to reclaim the Ryder Cup.
 
In developing the campaign, U.S. fans will be asked to support the “We are 13” pledge:

PLEDGE:

We are 13.
12 players plus 1 nation.
This is the Ryder Cup.
Our country. Our course. Our team.
We’ll rep the red, white and blue on the green.
We’ll go big, get loud and show respect.
We’ll see golfers become legends, moments become memories and can’t wait to see what’s coming next.
We’ll be watching.
We’ll be cheering.
We are 13!

When you put it that way, it's almost poetry. Almost.
