Europe’s venue for the 2031 Ryder Cup is reportedly about to be unveiled, but where will the Ryder Cup definitely be played in years to come?
It is an honour for any golf course to host the Ryder Cup.
Marco Simone Golf and Country Club hosted the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome – the first time Italy had hosted the event since its inception.
According to Ten Golf, the 2031 Ryder Cup is set for Camiral Golf and Wellness, what used to be called PGA Catalunya. This would be the first time the event arrived in Spain since Valderrama in 1997.
The report said: “The Catalan government, headed by Salvador Illa, plans to announce the celebration of the Ryder Cup in 2031 at the end of this month of October, beginning of November at the latest.”
In September 2024, NCG learned from the DP World Tour that there was no timeline set for an announcement for the 2031 Ryder Cup host venue, but a decision was expected to be made either later this year or early 2025.
It’s also understood the Hulton Park project in Bolton in northern England has given up hope of hosting in 2031 with new attention on 2035, while the team at Luton Hoo in the south had hoped it could be their turn in seven years.
“When the opportunity came at Luton Hoo two years ago, I just fell in love with the place and thought, this is something,” Surinder Arora told NCG, the owner of Luton Hoo and the Arora Group.
“We can bring the Ryder Cup here and put Bedfordshire on the world map and create something really special as a legacy, so that’s the dream at Luton Hoo. You’ve got an amazing character and history. The main mansion is Grade I Listed, and the Capability Brown ground.”
The first Ryder Cup was held in 1927 at Worcester Country Club in Massachusetts and the first one held in Great Britain was at Moortown Golf Club in Leeds.
The tournament alternates from the United States to Europe to give Team USA and Team Europe a home advantage every other year.
A variety of golf courses have held the Ryder Cup and the captain of the home side is given the chance to shape the course conditions to their strengths.
America wanted to build on their crushing win over Europe at Whistling Straits in 2021 with a side rich in quality and full of PGA Tour stars, but Luke Donald’s blue and gold side won the trophy back in Italy.
Luke Donald will hope to maintain his unbeaten record at the event in 2025. We’ve looked at which venues will host the Ryder Cup in the coming years.
