Patrick Cantlay marries Nikki Guidish day after 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome

Cantlay didn’t have anything to celebrate on Sunday, but he sure did on Monday.

Patrick Cantlay didn’t have anything to celebrate on Sunday in Italy after the United States lost the 2023 Ryder Cup to Europe, but he sure did come Monday.

Just a day after the 44th playing of the biennial bash between the Americans and Europeans, held this year at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club near Rome, Cantlay, 30, married Nikki Guidish 13 miles down the road at the St. Regis.

Guidish, a doctor of pharmacy, shared photos from the luxurious wedding on Tuesday on her Instagram page, writing “Yesterday was a dream” while she thanked her wedding planner, photographer and the staff at the venue. In attendance were the likes of Cantlay’s Ryder Cup teammate Justin Thomas, as well as LPGA player Jessica Korda.

Cantlay’s week in Rome was marred by a controversy involving his decision to not wear a hat, which became the story of the week and even led to a dust-up on the 18th green Saturday night. Cantlay went 2-2-0 on the week in Rome and now has a 5-2-1 record in two Ryder Cup appearances for Team USA.

Fresh off Ryder Cup, Patrick Cantlay to marry Nikki Guidish on Monday in Rome

Patrick Cantlay has big plans for Monday.

ROME – Patrick Cantlay may not have been on the winning Ryder Cup team on Sunday, but he’s got big plans for Monday.

Cantlay, 30, and fiancée Nikki Guidish, are tying the knot in Rome.

“Well, I am getting married tomorrow, yes,” Cantlay said during a press conference afterwards. “I’m very excited about it.”

The press room gave him a rare round of applause.

His wedding plans came up during a discussion about his headwear. Cantlay famously went hatless at the Ryder Cup, which became a hot topic of conversation. He claimed it was because the team hat didn’t fit his head while one report cited sources saying it was to protest the fact that players don’t get paid directly to play in the Ryder Cup.

There was some debate whether Cantlay chose not to wear a hat during the Ryder Cup because he didn’t want to have tan lines for his wedding day. That theory was posed by Stefan Schauffele, Xander’s father.

“I apologize for anything my dad said,” Schauffele said, breaking into laughter.
