Spain to host Ryder Cup for second time

Madrid: The Ryder Cup golf tournament, which pits Europe against the United States every two years, will return to Spain in 2031, the organisers announced on Tuesday.

A post from the Ryder Cup on social media announced that the competition will be held at Camiral Golf and Wellness, located near the city of Girona. Spain hosted the Ryder Cup at Valderrama in Andalusia in 1997, with Europe emerging victorious under Seve Ballesteros as captain.

“As well as being one of the most prestigious competitions in the sporting calendar, the Ryder is an exceptional platform to show the capacity Spain has to host important events,” said Jose Manuel Rodriguez Uribes, president of Spain’s sports council.

The cup is named after the English businessman Samuel Ryder, who donated the trophy. The event is jointly administered by the PGA of America and Ryder Cup Europe, a joint venture comprising the PGA European Tour (60%), the PGA of Great Britain and Ireland (20%), and the PGAs of Europe (20%). IANS
