De Ryder Cup wedstrijden, een van de laatste grote sportevenementen gebaseerd op prestige in plaats van prijzengeld, beslaan 34 competities in 77 jaar. De oorsprong van het idee om internationale wedstrijden te organiseren tussen de beste Amerikaanse professionals en die van Groot-Brittannië is onderwerp van discussie onder golfhistorici. Voormalig PGA President George Sargent (1921-26) van de Southeastern PGA Section schreef Sylvanus P. Jermain, president van de Inverness Club in Toledo, Ohio, toe dat hij het concept in 1921 voor het eerst presenteerde.
In 1979, toen het team van Groot-Brittannië en Ierland werd uitgebreid met spelers uit Europese landen, werd de indeling herzien met vier vierbal- en vier vier viertallenwedstrijden op de eerste twee dagen en 12 enkelspelwedstrijden op de derde dag. Er werden in totaal 28 punten toegekend.

De laatste geruchten en gebeurtenissen over de Ryder Cup
Scottie Scheffler made history as the second man to win the PGA Tour player of the year award three years running. Beating Tiger Woods in this feat, Scheffler won with 91% of player votes after claiming seven titles in the season, including a second Masters championship. Despite comparisons to Woods, Scheffler acknowledges Woods' unique status. Scheffler's standout performance was winning the gold at the Paris Olympics, showing his prowess on the course.
American newcomer Ryggs Johnston triumphed with a final-round 68 to win the men's Australian Open, earning his biggest career win. Former world number one Shin Ji-yai claimed her 65th victory in the women's event played concurrently. Johnston, a rookie who turned pro this year, finished 18 under at Kingston Heath. Shin held off South African Ashleigh Buhai's late surge to finish on 17 under. Johnston will earn an exemption to next year's Open at Royal Portrush.
The TGL golf competition, featuring Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, starts on January 7 after a delay. Woods, who had back surgery last month, will play with his team on January 14. McIlroy joins the competition on January 27. The tournament includes six teams with four players each, playing 15 matches in a round-robin format.
