Ryder Cup Future Venues: Where It’s Headed Next
October 10, 2025
After being played in even years from 2002 through 2018, the Ryder Cup shifted back to odd-numbered years when the COVID-19 pandemic forced the delay of the 2020 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits to 2021. That means that after the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, the 2027 edition will mark the 100th anniversary of the biennial matches, which were first organized and contested in 1927 at Worcester Country Club in Worcester, Mass.
Despite a field of just 24 golfers – 12 each representing Team USA and Team Europe (since 1979, when the side was expanded from just Great Britain & Ireland) – the Ryder Cup is arguably golf’s biggest spectacle, and nowadays it demands large facilities with sophisticated infrastructure in order to run smoothly. Gone are the days of hosting it at modest private clubs like Portland Golf Club in Oregon (1947) or out-of-the-way resorts like The Greenbrier (1979).
In the United States, recent Ryder Cup host venues have included both large private clubs and high-profile resorts in or near large metropolitan areas. Despite pandemic-related challenges and a somewhat removed location, Whistling Straits welcomed more than 150,000 spectators in 2021, largely due to its location just an hour north of Milwaukee.
As of the conclusion of the 2025 matches, venues for six of the next seven Ryder Cups have been announced, with the European venue for 2035’s 50th Ryder Cup yet to be determined. And although it has not yet been confirmed by the PGA of America, rumors have swirled about the 2041 Ryder Cup host golf course as well.
Here is what you need to know about the future Ryder Cup venues:
