The Ryder Cup is a biennial golf competition between teams from Europe and the United States. Competition is at stake every two years with alternating places between courses in the United States and Europe. The Ryder Cup was named after British businessman Samuel Ryder who donated the trophy. The event is jointly organized by PGA of America and Ryder Cup Europe, the last being a joint venture of the PGA European Tour (60%), PGA of Britain and Ireland (20%), and PGA of Europe (20%)).
Originally contested between Britain and the United States, the first official Ryder Cup took place in 1927 at Worcester Country Club, in Massachusetts, USA. The home side won the first five contests, but with the comeback of competition after the Second World War, repeating American dominance ultimately led to the decision to extend the "British and Irish" representation to include the European continent from 1979. The inclusion of continental European golfers was partly driven by the success of a new generation of Spanish golfers , led by Seve Ballesteros and Antonio Garrido. In 1973, the British team's official title has been changed from "Great Britain" to "Great Britain and Ireland", but this is just a name change to reflect the fact that golfers from the Republic of Ireland have been playing in Great Teams Ryder Cup England since 1953, while Irish players The North has been competing since 1947.
Since 1979, Europe has won ten straight times and retained the Cup once in a draw, with eight American wins during this period. In addition to players from England and Ireland, the European team has included players from Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Sweden. Ryder Cup, and its President Cup counterpart, remain an exception in the professional sports world as players do not receive prize money even though the contest becomes an important event that brings in huge amounts of money on television and sponsorship revenues.
The current holders are the United States who won in 2016 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, with a score of 17 to 11. The next contest will be at the Albatros Course at Le Golf National in Magny-les-Hameaux (27 km south-east of Paris ), France, from 28 to 30 September 2018.

Gleneagles 1921
On September 27, 1920 Golf Illustrated wrote a letter to the Association of American Professional Golfers with the suggestion that a team of 12 to 20 American professionals was selected to play at the 1921 British Open, which would be financed by a popular subscription. At that time no American golfer won the British Open. The idea is James D. Harnett, who works for the magazine. The PGA of America made a positive reply and the idea was announced in the November 1920 edition. The fund is called the British Open Championship Fund . The following spring, the idea has been strengthened. A team of 12 will be selected, who will sail on time to play in warm-up tournaments at Gleneagles ( Glasgow Herald 1000 Guinea Tournament) before the British Open at St. Andrews, two weeks later. Team 12 was selected by PGA President George Sargent and PGA Secretary Alec Pirie, with the help of USGA Vice President Robert Gardner. A team of 11 sailed from New York at RMSÃ, Aquitania on May 24, 1921 along with James Harnett, Harry Hampton decided at the last minute that he could not travel.
The idea for a 12-sided International Competition between American and British professionals was reported on The Times on May 17, with James Douglas Edgar reported as the 12th possible player. Edgar is already in England. The match will be played at Gleneagles on Monday June 6, the day before the start of the 1000 Guinean Tournament. With Jim Barnes unhealthy, the game ended up being a 10-a-side contest, Edgar was not needed for the American team. The match consists of 5 foursomes in the morning and 10 singles in the afternoon, played at the King's Course. The match was won by Great Britain with 9 games to 3, 3 games to half.
The English teams are: George Duncan (captain), James Braid, Arthur Havers, Abe Mitchell, James Ockenden, Ted Ray, James Sherlock, J.H. Taylor, Josh Taylor, and Harry Vardon. The American teams are: Emmet French (captain), Clarence Hackney, Walter Hagen, Charles Hoffner, Jock Hutchison, Tom Kerrigan, George McLean, Fred McLeod, Bill Melhorn, and Wilfrid Reid. The gold medal was awarded by Duchess of Atholl to each team member at the end of the Glasgow Herald tournament on Saturday afternoon. Medal "has on one side crossed the flag, The Union Jack and Stars and Stripes overcome by the inscription" For England "or" For America "as the case may be" and on the other "United v England. Herald ", Gleneagles, June 6, 1921"
After the Glasgow Herald Tournament, most American teams travel to St Andrews to train for the British Open, whose qualifying begins on June 20. However, Walter Hagen and Jock Hutchison played in the tournament at Kinghorn on 14 and 15 June. Hagen had a bad first round and did not show up for the second day. Hutchison scored 74 and 64 and took the first prize of £ 50. At St Andrews, Hutchison led qualifying and then won the Open himself. So, despite losing the International Match, the American team achieved its ultimate goal, winning the British Open.
The match between American amateur and British golfers was played at Hoylake in 1921, just before The Amateur Championship. The game was followed by the creation of the Walker Cup, which was first played in 1922. But the Gleneagles 1921 game did not immediately lead to an appropriate match between the professionals.
Wentworth 1926
It is common now for a small number of professionals to travel to compete in their respective national championships. In 1926, a larger professional American contingent than usual traveled to England to compete in the Open Championship, two weeks before their own Championship. In February it was announced that Walter Hagen would choose a team of four American professionals (including himself) to play four English professionals in the game before the Open Championship. The match will be a stroke playing competition with each playing four opposing golfers over 18 holes. In mid-April it was announced that "Golf enthusiast, whose name has not been announced" is ready to donate one cup for the annual competition. Then in April it was announced that Samuel Ryder would present the trophy "for an annual competition between British and American professionals." with the first match to be played on June 4 and 5 "but the details have not been decided yet", and then in May it was announced that the match would be a match, 8-sided, foursomes on the first day, singles in seconds. Finally, at the request of Hagen, 10 players competed for each team. Samuel Ryder (along with his brother James) has sponsored a number of British professional events starting in 1923.
The game resulted in a 13-1 victory for the England team (1 game halved). The American point was won by Bill Mehlhorn with French Emmet being square. Medals were given to the players by American ambassador Alanson B. Houghton.
The match was widely reported as for the "Ryder Cup". But Golf Illustrated for June 11 states that due to uncertainty after a general strike in May, which caused uncertainty about how many Americans will visit the UK, Samuel Ryder has decided to hold the cup for a year. It has also been suggested that since Walter Hagen chose an American team rather than an American PGA, only Americans traveling to England to play in the Open are available for selection and it contains a number of players born outside the United States. , also contributed to the feeling that the match should be considered unofficial. In addition, Americans "just landed in England and have not fully practiced."
The English team are: Ted Ray (Captain), Aubrey Boomer, Archie Compston, George Duncan, George Gadd, Arthur Havers, Herbert Jolly, Abe Mitchell, Fred Robson, and Ernest Whitcombe. The American team are: Walter Hagen (Captain), Tommy Armor, Jim Barnes, Emmet French, Joe Kirkwood, Fred McLeod, Bill Mehlhorn, Joe Stein, Cyril Walker, and Al Watrous. While all ten English players then play in the Ryder Cup only three Americans (Hagen, Mehlhorn and Watrous). Armor, Barnes, Kirkwood, McLeod and Walker were issued by the policy of requiring players to be born in the US while France and Stein were never elected.
Worcester 1927
The 1927 Competition was organized on a much more formal basis. The Ryder Cup, "Deed of Trust" was created to formalize the rules of the contest, while each PGA organization had a selection process. In the UK Golf Illustrated launched funds to raise Ã, Â £ 3,000 to fund professional golfers to play in the US Open and Ryder Cup. Ryder donated Ã, Â £ 100 and, when the fund closed with a deficiency of Ã, £ 300, he made an outstanding balance. Although not in the rules at the time, the PGA of America limited their teams to those born in the United States.
In early 1928 it became clear that the annual contest was impractical and it was decided that the second contest should be in 1929 and then every two years thereafter.
For the 1929 British contest at Moortown GC, Leeds, the PGA States again restricted their team to those born in the United States but by the end of 1929 a revised Trust Act requiring all players to be born and reside in their respective countries, as well as members of the Association Professional Golfers respectively.
Maps Ryder Cup
Continental European golfer
The most significant change to the Ryder Cup is the entry of European continental golfers since 1979. Until 1977, the game featured teams representing the United States and Great Britain and Ireland. From 1979 players from continental Europe have been qualified to join what is now known as the European Team. Changes to enter the European continent emerged from a discussion in 1977 between Jack Nicklaus and Edward Stanley, the 18th Earl of Derby, who served as President of the Association of Professional Golfers; it was suggested by Nicklaus as a means to make the game more competitive, because Americans almost always win, often with a sloping margin. The change was successful, as the contest soon became much more competitive, with talented European players like Seve Ballesteros and Bernhard Langer reinforcing the European team. The current popularity of the Ryder Cup, which now generates great attention in the media, can be said to derive from a change in terms of worthiness.
Format
The Ryder Cup involves various match matches between players selected from two teams of twelve. It runs from Friday to Sunday with a total of 28 games played, all matches being over 18 holes. On Friday and Saturday there are four four-ball matches and four foursomes matches daily; four matches in the morning and four matches in the afternoon. On Sunday, there are 12 singles matches, when all team members play. Not all players have to play on Fridays and Saturdays; the captain can choose eight players for each of these two-day sessions.
The winner of each game scores one point for his team, with half a point each for each match tied after 18 holes. The winning team is determined by the cumulative total points. In the tie event (each 14 points) Ryder Cup is maintained by the team held before the contest.
The foursomes match is a competition between two teams of two golfers. At certain holes, golfers in the same team take turns of turning to play the same ball. One team member tries off on all odd numbered holes, and the other on all even holes. Each hole was won by a team that completed the hole in the least shot. A four-ball game is also a competition between two teams of two golfers, but all four golfers play their own ball throughout the round rather than alternating shots. Better scores of two golfers in the team determine team scores on certain holes; the score of other members of the team is not counted. Each hole was won by a team that individual golfers had the lowest score. The single game is a standard match competition between two golfers.
The Ryder Cup format has changed over the years. From the inaugural event until 1959, the Ryder Cup is a two-day competition with 36-hole matches. In 1961 the match was changed to 18 holes each and the number of matches doubled. In 1963, the event was expanded to three days, with a four-ball game being played for the first time. This format remained until 1977, when the number of matches was reduced to 20, but, in 1979, the first year continental European players participated, the format was changed to the current 28-match version, with 8 foursomes/four-ball matches in the first two days and 12 singles matches on the last day. Due to weather disruption the 2010 contest format was changed and extended to the fourth day.
Team size increased from 10 to 12 in 1969.
There were two single sessions (morning and afternoon) in 1979, but no players played in either session.
Since 1979, there are four foursomes and four fourballs in each of the first two days. Currently the home captain decides before the contest begins whether a fourball or foursomes game is played in the morning. He can choose a different order for two days.
Since 1979, a player can play a maximum of 5 games (2 foursomes, 2 fourballs and singles matches), but from 1963 to 1975 it is possible to play 6 matches (2 foursomes, 2 fourballs and 2 single match).
Team qualification and selection
The selection process for Ryder Cup players varies from year to year. In the initial contest, the team is generally decided by the selection committee but then qualifiers based on the performances are introduced. The current system in which most teams are determined by performances with a small number of players selected by the captain (known as "wild card" or "captain picks") gradually evolved and has been used by both sides since 1989.
For the 2014 Ryder Cup both teams have 9 qualified players based on appearances with 3 players remaining selected by the captain. For players who get qualified automatically, Europeans using the system, introduced in 2004, using two tables; one using the prize money won in the official European Tour event and the second based on Worldwide Rating points acquired anywhere in the world. Both tables use the 12 month qualifying period to expire at the end of August. The American system, introduced in 2008, is based on prize money gained on official PGA Tour events during the current season and prize money earned in major championships in previous seasons. The qualifying period ends after the PGA Championship.
For the 2016 Ryder Cup there are a number of changes from 2014 in the American system. The number of captain picks increased from three to four with options made slower than before, especially moving the fourth and final pick less than a week before the Ryder Cup, just after the completion of the Championship Tour. Qualifying events now include the 2015 World Golf Championship and Players Championships, over four major championships, but only including the 2016 PGA Tour event actually played in 2016, thus excluding other events being played in 2015. The qualifying period is also renewed as the Olympics have moved the timeslot for the 2016 PGA Championship which is already underway at the end of July.
Captain
The captains always select the players and choose the order of play in each group of matches. When the contest involves a 36-hole match, usually the captain becomes one of the players. The United States has only two captains who did not play in this period: Walter Hagen in 1937 and Ben Hogan in 1949 while Great Britain had a captain who did not play in 1933, 1949, 1951 and 1953. With a change to an 18 hole match and an extension up to three days, it became more difficult to combine the role of captain and player and Arnold Palmer in 1963 was the last playing captain. The captains have always been professional golfers and the only captain who has never played in the Ryder Cup is J.H. Taylor, England captain of 1933.
Initial event
The opening ceremony took place in the afternoon before the game began.
Since 2012, the Ryder Cup has featured a celebrity game. Celebrities are paired with former Ryder Cup captains in 2012 and 2014. In 2016, only celebrities compete. Participants include athletes Michael Phelps, Scottie Pippen, Martina Navratilova, Alessandro Del Piero and Andriy Shevchenko, and actors Bill Murray and Justin Timberlake.
Notable Ryder Cups
1969: Nicklaus vs Jacklin
The 1969 Cup held at Royal Birkdale is probably one of the best and most competitive contests in terms of the game (18 of 32 games go to the last green). Decided in the last game, where US Captain Sam Snead then said "This is the greatest golf game you've ever seen in England".
With the United States and United Kingdom tied to 15 1 / 2 respectively, Jack Nicklaus leads Tony Jacklin by score 1 as they play the 17th hole. Jacklin made a 35-foot eagle putt and when Nicklaus missed his own hawk trying from 12 feet, the game was all square.
At the par-5 finishing hole, both Jacklin and Nicklaus got the green in two. Nicklaus ran a five-foot putt eagle past the hole, while Jacklin left his two short legs. Nicklaus then drowned his birdie putt, and with a crowd of 8,000 people watching, picked up the Jacklin marker, admitting the Jacklin putt needed to tie the match. With a United States team that already holds the trophy, the tie allows him to retain the trophy. "I do not think you'll miss that putt," Nicklaus said to Jacklin afterward, "but in a situation like this I will never give you a chance."
Nicklaus's sportsmanship stirred controversy on the part of Americans, some of whom preferred to force Jacklin to try putts for a small chance he might miss, which would give the United States an absolute victory. "All the boys think it's silly to give him that putt," Sam Snead said. "We went there to win, not the good boys."
1989: Azinger and Ballesteros
Held at The Belfry in England, the 1989 Ryder Cup witnessed increasing tensions in the series. After holding the trophy for more than two decades, the United States team lost both matches in 1985 and 1987. In the 1989 match, the pressure was on the United States team and its captain, Raymond Floyd. At the pre-match opening ceremony, Floyd underestimated the European team by introducing the United States team as "the 12 biggest players in the world."
The competition sees the beginnings of hostility between Seve Ballesteros and Paul Azinger. At the start of their singles match, Ballesteros are trying to turn the blister ball to a new ball under Rule of Golf 5-3. Somewhat unusually, Azinger debated whether the ball was unfit to play. A referee is summoned, and Azinger's side is in command of a suitable ball to play. Ballesteros reportedly said to Azinger, "Is this the way you play today?" The match continued in a controversial way, culminating in Ballesteros who extraordinarily fought whether Azinger took the right drop after hitting water on the 18th hole.
The frustration of the American team improved as the game ended in a draw, with the European team retaining the trophy. 1991: _ "The_War_by_the_Shore" '> 1991: "The War by the Shore"
The overall tension between the team and the animosity between Ballesteros and Azinger increased at Kiawah Island Golf Resort in 1991. At the ceremonial dinner opening, the PGA of America played two videos deemed unfriendly by European teams. The first video was presented as the main highlight of last Ryder Cup, but reportedly featured only Americans. The second video is a speech welcomed by President George W. W. Bush at that time where he closes with cheering on the American side.
On the first morning of the competition, Azinger and Chip Beck were paired up against Ballesteros and JosÃÆ'Â © MarÃÆ'a OlazÃÆ'¡bal in a four-match match, an alternate shot show. Azinger and Beck accuse Ballesteros of playing around because his throat is clean during Beck's shot. Later in the same game, Azinger and Beck, who played the same brand and made the ball but each with a slightly different model, switched their ball. While this transition is unlikely to be profitable or has been deliberate, it violates the "one ball rule" applicable to the competition. Under that rule, a player is forbidden to change the type of ball he uses during a game. Several holes after the turn, Ballesteros called the Americans for a foul. Azinger, who seemed to feel his integrity questionable, said, "I can tell you that we are not trying to cheat." Ballesteros replied, "Oh no, breaking the rules and cheating are two different things." Because the offense was called too long after it happened, no punishment was assessed against the American couple. The constant boost between Ballesteros and Azinger enhances each individual's desire to win. From that intensity, they and their play partners produced what could be considered one of the best matches in history, winning 2 & amp; 1. After the game ended, Ballesteros reportedly said, "The American team has 11 good guys, and Paul Azinger."
The 1991 game received a sobriquet "War on the Beach" after several advertisements in American media, and the home team cheered on by American home crowds. For its part, Corey Pavin caused controversy by wearing a Desert Storm baseball cap during the show to support US war effort and coalition in Iraq.
The game culminated in one of the most dramatic putts in golf history. With only one game left to complete, between Hale Irwin for the United States and Bernhard Langer for Europe, the United States team is led by one point. Irwin and Langer came to the last hole tied. To win the trophy, the American team needs Irwin to win or tie the match by winning or tying a hole. The Europeans can defend the trophy with victory by Langer. Both players fought in the pit, and found themselves facing a pair of putts; Langer has a six-foot, side-hill, and Irwin's generally uphill, 18-inch putt for bogey. To the surprise of his team-mates, Langer acknowledged Irwin's bogey blow, leaving him in a position to be made. Langer missed his putt, the game was halved, and the US team took back the trophy.
Players on both sides are pushed into public tears by the pressure of the match on the last day. The tight competition of the 1991 Ryder Cup is widely considered to have increased public interest in the series.
1999: Battle of Brookline
The 1999 Ryder Cup held at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, caused great controversy. A remarkable comeback by the American team helped push the US to a 14 ½-13ý victory after trailing 10-6 to the final day. The US beat Europe 8½-3½ in a single match to seal its first American victory since 1993.
Competition changed in 17 holes match between America Justin Leonard and Spain JosÃÆ'Â © MarÃÆ'a OlazÃÆ'¡bal. With all square matches in the 17th hole, Leonard must earn at least half a point by winning one of the last two holes (hence getting the full points), or finishing the game in all the boxes (hence getting half point) to seal the victory America. After OlazÃÆ'¡bal's second shot left him with a 22-foot putt on par-4, Leonard hit his shot within 10 feet of the hole and then saw him rolling away from the cup, leaving him with a 45-foot putt for a birdie. Leonard has made putts 25 and 35 feet in the previous round. Leonard hides a remarkable putt, and wild celebrations happen with other US players, their wives, and some fans running to the green. If Leonard putt seal the match, this kind of behavior is inappropriate but debatable. Knowing that an artificial putt will extend the match while miss will reassure Leonard's half point and US victory (Americans need 14 1 / 2 points to earn trophies due to victory 1997 Europe in Valderrama), OlazÃÆ'¡bal tries to regain his focus. However, he missed a tough putt, and the American team celebrated once more (though the second celebration was more devoted than the first).
According to the "Best of the Rest" section of ESPN's Top 5 Reasons You Can not Blame program, NBC's TV recordings and press photos prove that there are no official Ryder Cup or PGA rules broken when Americans celebrating after the Leonard putt ( ie , no one entered or crossed the OlazÃÆ'¡bal line - though European player Sam Torrance had said in a TV interview that TV cameramen stood in OlazÃÆ'¡bal's line while filming a green invasion by players and spectators). However, there are still a number of unwritten rules and codes of ethics that European players believe to be neglected. Many American players believe the European response is hypocritical; they argue that European players - especially Seve Ballesteros - have been guilty of excessive celebrations and games as far back as the 1985 Ryder Cup game, without attracting the same opostrium from the European media. There was still a lot of bad blood after the game, with some European players complaining about the behavior of American galleries throughout the game. Sam Torrance branded it "disgusting", while European captain Mark James called it a "bear hole" in a book that told the story. There were also reports that an audience spat at James's wife.
After the 1999 Ryder Cup, many US team members apologized for their behavior, and there were many attempts by both teams to appease the increased nationalism of the event. These efforts seem to be largely successful, with the next Cup played in "the spirit of the game".
2012: Miracle in Medina
The 39th Ryder Cup, held at the Medinah Country Club in Medina, Illinois, sees a remarkable comeback by the Europeans. Under the captain JosÃÆ'Â © MarÃÆ'a OlazÃÆ'¡bal from Spain; Europe fell 10-4 after 14 matches, with two four-ball matches still on the pitch and 12 singles matches to be played the next day. A dramatic finish for the second day saw Ian Poulter make 5 birdies in the last 5 holes to give him and McILroy point over Dufner and Z.Johnson. Despite falling 10-6 on entering the final day, Europe again won by 14 1 / 2 pointing to 13 1 / 2 . From 12 points up for grabs on the last day of Europe won 8 1 / 2 points with AS only won points 3 1 / 2 . This accomplishment fits with the 1999 American comeback at Brookline Country Club.
Martin Kaymer hit the putt (almost identical long putt that Germany fellow Bernhard Langer missed in Ryder Cup 1991) who retained the trophy for Europe. Francesco Molinari secured the final half point to win the Ryder Cup straight away by winning the 18th hole to halve the match against Tiger Woods. Ian Poulter of the European team completed this Ryder Cup with a perfect 4-0 record.

Cancellations and delays
- 1939 Ryder Cup
The 1939 Ryder Cup is planned for November 18-19 at the Ponte Vedra Country Club in Jacksonville, Florida; Walter Hagen was selected as a non-playing US team captain. The competition was canceled soon after the outbreak of World War II in Europe in September.
In early April 1939, British PG. choose a selection committee of six and choose Henry Cotton as captain. In August, eight players were mentioned in the team: Cotton, Jimmy Adams, Dick Burton, Sam King, Alf Padgham, Dai Rees, Charles Whitcombe and Reg Whitcombe. Charles Whitcombe immediately withdrew from the team, not wanting to travel to the United States. With seven selected, three spots left to fill. The war was declared on 3 September and England P.G.A. immediately canceled the game: "The P.G.A. announces that this year's Ryder Cup match has been canceled by the prevailing state of war in the country. P.G.A. from the United States is being informed."
- 1941, 1943 and 1945 Ryder Cups
The Ryder Cup was not played in these scheduled years because of the war; in the fall of 1945, many members of the British team were still in the military. After a decade of absence, it continued in November 1947 at the Portland Golf Club in Portland, Oregon.
- Ryder Cup 2001
The competition, scheduled for September 28-30 at The Belfry's Brabazon Course, was postponed a year for the September 11 terrorist attacks. "The PGA of America has told the European Ryder Cup Board that the scope of last Tuesday's tragedy is so remarkable that it is impossible for US Ryder Cup teams and officials to attend this month's game." Managers Phil Mickelson and Mark Calcavecchia have previously announced that the two players will not travel to Europe. Other American players are said to be worried about attending the event. It was played in 2002 in the original place with the same team that had been chosen to play a year earlier. The display board at The Belfry still reads "The 2001 Ryder Cup", and US captain Curtis Strange deliberately refers to his team as "The 2001 Ryder Cup Team" in his speech at the closing ceremony.
It was decided to hold the next Ryder Cup in 2004 (not 2003) and thereafter in even-numbered years. These changes also affect the male President's Cup and Seve Trophy and women's Solheim Cup competitions, as each turns from even to odd years.
Summary
Although the team was referred to as "Great Britain" until 1971, a number of golfers from the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, Guernsey and Jersey had played for England before that date. In 1973 the name of the official team was changed to "Great Britain and Ireland" but this is just a name change to reflect the fact that the Republic of Ireland golfer has been playing in England's "Ryder Cup" since Harry Bradshaw in 1953, while Northern Ireland players have been competing since Fred Daly in 1947.
The team at the original place "England" team has been referred to as "Europe" since 1979, when players from continental Europe were included. Since then, the "United States" team has won 8 matches and the "Europe" team has won 10 matches, while retaining the Ryder Cup once with the series.

Places of future Europe
In 2001, the PGA European Tour decided to issue Ryder Cup rights from 2018 to 2030 to a competitive bidding process across Europe.
Offer for Ryder Cup 2022
The bidding process for the 2022 Ryder Cup opens on June 23, 2014. Interested countries have until August 31 to formally declare an interest in the offer. This expression must come from the central government or national golf agency. On September 5, seven countries have expressed an interest in hosting. A formal bid must be filed on February 16, 2015, with the host to be chosen that fall. In November 2014 it was announced that Denmark had withdrawn from the bidding process of leaving the remaining six countries. The date for the official offer submission is extended until April 30, 2015.
7 countries initially expressed interest in the offer. However Ryder Cup Europe only receives 4 offers when the offer closes on April 30, 2015.
On December 14, 2015, Roma was announced as the host of the Ryder Cup of 2022. Italy beat Germany, Austria and Spain to win the tender for the 44th edition of the Ryder Cup.
Television
Ryder Cup matches are always covered by the BBC, either in England or in the United States, even before the merger of the England team with Europe. In the 1990s, Sky Sports became heavily involved in the Ryder Cup, and has since taken over live coverage, including creating dedicated channels dedicated to the 2014 and 2016 competitions. The BBC is still editing the spotlight every night.
In the United States, the Ryder Cup was first aired live in the 1983 game in Florida, with Sport ABC covering only the last four holes of a single match. The spotlight pack of the 1985 singles match was produced by ESPN, but no live coverage aired from the UK. In 1987, with the return match in the United States, ABC closed both weekend days, but only in the afternoon.
In 1989, USA Network began a long relationship with the Ryder Cup, broadcasting the entire three-day live broadcast of England, the first live coverage of the Ryder Cup from Europe. This led to a one-year deal for the 1991 match in South Carolina to be performed by NBC live on the weekend, with USA Network continuing to provide live coverage on the first day. All five sessions were broadcast for the first time. The success of the 1991 game led to a contract extension with the United States and NBC until 1997, marking a turning point in the popularity of the competition. For the European game, the first two days were recorded and aired on a delay in the US. Another extension with the US and NBC that included the 1999-2003 competition (later moved to 2004) increased the number of coverage hours to cover the entire first day and most of the second day. Band delays are still used for competition from Europe.
The growing success of the Ryder Cup resulted in historic contracts with NBC (which recently bought USA Network) to broadcast the 2006-14 competition in the US and NBC. This is called for an increase in records in the coverage hours, with the second day now having almost complete coverage. The last ribbon delay is used for the 2006 event in Ireland. In 2006, ESPN was a sub-license right for Friday's coverage, as part of a larger transaction between NBC and Disney that also resulted in the personality of ABC Sports Al Michaels moving to NBC to join their upcoming NFL Sunday night game ESPN the expansion of access to the highlight of the event that NBC owns the rights to, and Disney acquired the rights to the Oswald the Lucky Rabbit cartoon (created by Walt Disney in 1927 for a series of animated films distributed by Universal Pictures).
In 2013, NBC reached an agreement to extend its rights to the Ryder Cup and PGA Championship Senior until 2030, with Friday's Ryder Cup coverage assumed by Golf Channel.
