The Ryder Cup was first contested in 1927 at Worcester Country Club in Worcester, Massachusetts.
The U.S. was captained by Walter Hagen and the Americans won 9 ½ to 2 ½.
For many years, the competition was the U.S. against Great Britain. During the ’70s, it was the U.S. against Great Britain and Ireland. In 1979, the American opponent evolved into a squad made up of players from across Europe.
In 2023, two years after getting routed 19-9 at Whistling Straits, the Europeans reclaimed the Ryder Cup, sweeping the first four matches on Thursday and riding a wave to a 16 ½ to 11 ½ victory. The Euros won the cup again in 2025. After a blistering 11½ to 4½ start through two days, the Euros held on for a 15-13 win and now have won six of the last eight cups. The last American team to win an away cup was 1993.
