The Ryder Cup

The Ryder Cup, among the last great professional sporting events where winning, and not prize money, is its own reward, spans 37 competitions over 81 years.

For the first time in Ryder Cup history, Wales will serve as host for the most compelling event in golf. The 38th Ryder will be contested at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport on the Resort's new Twenty Ten Course, the first golf course specifically designed to host the biennial event.

In 2008, the United States Ryder Cup Team, led by PGA of America member and Captain Paul Azinger, defeated the Europeans 16 1/2-11 1/2, bringing the Ryder Cup back to American soil for the first time in nine years. It was also the Team's largest margin of victory since Team USA defeated the Europeans, 18 1/2-9 1/2, in 1981.
