Jena Sims led a WAGs day out in Rome this weekend ahead of the start of the Ryder Cup.
The latest edition of the tournament will take place this weekend at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome, with Europe looking to regain the trophy after a record 19-9 defeat in 2021.
The likes of Rory McIlroy, Justin Rose and Ludvig Aberg will take to the course to challenge their American rivals, with the hosts slight favorites to win the title against the Americans.
The players have been training in Italy ahead of the competition and have been accompanied by their families as they continue to prepare.
A group of WAGS from Team USA spent the day in the Italian capital on Tuesday, with Brooks Koepka’s partner Sims leading the day and sharing photos on her Instagram account.

Sims captioned her Instagram post, “I’m putting myself here so he always thinks about me.”
