Ryder Cup

Golf tournament for professional men's teams from the USA and Europe. It is played every two years, and the match is made up of a series of singles, foursomes, and fourballs played over three days. A women's version of the Ryder Cup, the Solheim Cup, was introduced in 1990.

Named after entrepreneur Samuel Ryder, who donated the trophy in 1927, the tournament is played alternately in the USA and Europe. The match was between the USA and Great Britain 1927–71; USA v. Great Britain and Ireland 1973–77, and USA v. Europe from 1979.

Following the terrorist attacks on the USA on 11 September 2001, the Ryder Cup was postponed for one year, until September 2002 at The Belfry in England, and subsequent matches were scheduled to be held in even-numbered years.
