Ryder Cup Tickets

Top golfers from the US and Europe tee off on for the Ryder Cup, a biennial competition that pits teams from two continents against each other for three days of world-class action on the green. The two teams of 12 are comprised of nine players who qualified based on World Rankings points and prize money won, along with three players selected by the team captains. The Ryder Cup is one of just two major golf tournaments where players aren't awarded prize money – the teams are purely playing for love of sport (and some serious continental bragging rights), and the passion they bring to the Ryder Cup makes it one of the most exciting golf competitions of the year. 

Ryder Cup History

The Ryder Cup began in 1927 as a competition between Great Britain and the United States. Named after trophy donor Samuel Ryder, the Ryder Cup held its inaugural contest at Worcester Country Club in Massachusetts and was then played every two years at venues alternating between top courses in the US and Europe. The host team won the first 5 Cups, but American dominance after the Second World War led to a decision in 1979 to include players from continental Europe on the British team. Notable Cups since then include the 1989 competition, when a tie allowed Europe to retain the Cup, and the incredibly contentious 1991 Cup known as "The War on the Shore," where the rivalry between European Steve Ballesteros and American Paul Azinger reached a head and the US took back the title. Today the Ryder Cup is administered by the PGA of America and Ryder Cup Europe, which is a joint venture of the PGA European Tour, the PGA of Europe, and the PGA of Great Britain and Ireland.
