Valhalla Golf Club is all Set for the 37th Ryder Cup Matches!
In September, the Ryder Cup Matches of Golf will be played for the 37th time at Valhalla Golf Club, Louisville, Kentucky. After a wait of two long years, fans will be treated to the spectacle of watching the best names in golf compete for one of the grandest titles in sports.
The Ryder Cup is known as golf’s grandest tournament, and for all the right reasons. To win the Ryder Cup is of paramount importance to every player.
The Ryder Cup matches are essentially played between teams from Europe and the United States. They are jointly administered by the PGA of America and the PGA European Tour. The competition began following an exhibition match in 1926 of a team representing American professionals against a similar one representing the British PGA, with the first competition taking place in 1927. Early matches between the two sides were fairly even, but after the Second World War, repeated US dominance led to a decision to extend the representation of the British & Irish team to Europe in 1979.
The Ryder Cup is played every two years.
An overview of the 2006 Ryder Cup matches
The 36th Ryder Cup Matches were held between September 22 and September 24, 2006 at The K Club in Ireland. Team Europe won the competition, equaling their record winning margin of 2 years earlier. This was the first time Europe had achieved three successive victories. Swedish rookie Henrik Stenson made the winning putt, just moments after Luke Donald had sunk a putt to ensure Europe retained the trophy.
2008 Ryder Cup
For the 37th time, the Ryder Cup will be played between September 16 and September 21. The captains will be Nick Faldo for Team Europe and Paul Azinger for Team USA. The format for the event will not stay the same as in the previous two Ryder Cup Matches. For the first time since 1999, the opening matches of a Ryder Cup will feature the alternate-shot format.
