PORTRUSH, Northern Ireland – The 2031 Ryder Cup will be held in Spain at the Camiral Golf & Wellness Resort in Caldes de Malavella, a town in the northeast province of Girona. The choice of the resort course was first reported by Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.
Ramon Nogué, president of the Catalan golf federation, confirmed that Girona, just north of Barcelona, would be the site of the 2031 Ryder Cup to The Associated Press on Friday night. He said that “next week it will be official” as a formal press announcement is believed to be scheduled for July 25.
The resort, which was formerly known as PGA Catalunya, hosted the Spanish Open, a DP World Tour event, on multiple occasions, and is owned by Irish billionaire Dennis O’Brien.
“Any announcement in relation to future editions of the Ryder Cup will be made in due course,” Ryder Cup Europe told the AP.
The selection comes three decades after Valderrama in southern Spain hosted the first Ryder Cup in continental Europe in 1997.
The biennial competition pits teams of 12 from the United States and Europe. The next Ryder Cup is scheduled for September at Bethpage Black in N.Y. The 2027 Ryder Cup will be held at Adare Manor in Ireland. The 2029 Ryder Cup will return to the U.S. at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota.
