Ryder Cup 2012

Ryder Cup 2012

Following on from the drama of Celtic Manor which saw Europe defeat the United States by 14½ to 13½, all eyes turn towards Medinah Country Club for the 39th edition of the Ryder Cup.

Located approximately 40 minutes from central Chicago, Medinah is one of golf’s most iconic venues. The championship number 3 course at Medinah is rich in tournament pedigree having played host to three US Open’s and two USPGA Championships. Medinah is also famous for its stunning clubhouse which forms the impressive centrepiece of this superb venue. (more)

When the Ryder Cup crosses the Atlantic for the 2012 Match, it couldn’t be going to a venue that contrasts more sharply with Celtic Manor. From a new course built with the Ryder Cup in mind, the competition will be staged at one of America’s true classics, built in the roaring twenties by a group of wealthy golf-mad businessmen. Medinah Country Club, near Chicago, remains one of America’s finest and it has hosted US Opens, US PGA Championships, Western Opens and Chicago Opens.

In 2010 Europe regained the Ryder Cup by the most slender of margins at Celtic Manor, with Graeme McDowell clinching the vital winning point from the USA’s Hunter Mahan on the 17th green to win 14½-13½. It was arguably the best Ryder Cup in years and it has set the scene for a thrilling encounter on US soil, when Spanish legend Jose Maria Olazabal is expected to lead the team.
