In Ryder Cup 2-ball foursomes, if the two players have different ball sponsors what ball do they play with?

Answer by  ebentley (25)

Both balls will be played because the ball used will be the ball which is used to tee off. The golfers alternate tee shots, so both balls are played throughout the round.

The team alternates teeshots on holes. The player hitting the teeshot uses his own ball and the other player has to play it where it lands. The two players alternate shots using the same ball. The next hole the other player hits the tee shot and the team uses his ball.

They would each continue to use the ball that they are contractually obliged to use. When playing in a pair you don't hit the same ball that your partner is using. You use the ball that you prefer and drop it in the same location as your partner when it is your turn to hit.

It is a decision for the players. Mickelson has been known to have his partner tee off using Phil's ball & vice versa. The approach shots are where the type of golf ball can make a difference to the player. And sponsors see their balls in play.
