The 41st Ryder Cup was hosted in the United States from September 30 to October 2, 2016, at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. Europe entered as defending champions after winning the 2014 Ryder Cup, its third consecutive Ryder Cup win.

Team USA won the 41st Ryder Cup, having never trailed during the tournament. Ryan Moore defeated Lee Westwood by one hole to claim the cup with three matches still in progress. U.S. captain Davis Love III dedicated the win to Arnold Palmer, who died at age 87 five days before the competition. A bag from Palmer's captaincy in the 1975 Ryder Cup at Laurel Valley was placed on the first tee during Friday's opening foursomes to honor Palmer. Team USA swept the opening foursomes on Friday morning for the first time since 1975. Two days after the matches, most of Team USA attended Palmer's public memorial at Saint Vincent College in his hometown of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and brought the trophy at the request of Palmer's daughter, Amy.[1] A video tribute to Palmer was played at the opening ceremony and tributes to Palmer were included in remarks from Love and European captain Darren Clarke, and honorary captains Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin.

Main article: Hazeltine National Golf Club

On April 22, 2002, the PGA of America announced that Hazeltine National Golf Club would be the venue for the 2016 Ryder Cup.[2] The PGA of America changed the regular sequence of the Hazeltine course for the 2016 Ryder Cup. Holes one through four and 14–18 constituted the front nine, while the back nine consisted of holes 10–13 and five through nine.[3]

Television

[edit]

The 2016 Ryder Cup was televised in the U.S. by Golf Channel and NBC, providing 170 hours of coverage. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the event was broadcast by Sky Sports. The broadcaster re-branded its Sky Sports 4 channel as Sky Sports Ryder Cup for the week of the event, and broadcast 240 hours of coverage.[4]

Task Force

[edit]

Following the European victory in the 2014 Ryder Cup, the PGA of America created a Ryder Cup Task Force consisting of three PGA officials and eight players with Ryder Cup experience. Included in the task force were previous Ryder Cup captains Raymond Floyd, Tom Lehman and Love, and players Rickie Fowler, Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson, Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods. The task force selected the 2016 Ryder Cup captain and vice-captains, and determined the team selection process.[5]

On February 24, 2015, the task force released its decisions. Love was selected as captain and new criteria was determined for the selection of vice-captains. The 11-person task force was disbanded after the announcement and replaced with a six-person Ryder Cup Committee which included Love, Mickelson and Woods.[6]

Team qualification and selection

[edit]

United States

[edit]

The United States qualification rules were announced by the Task Force on February 24, 2015. The majority of the team was selected from the Ryder Cup points list which was based on prize money won in important tournaments. Generally one point was awarded for every $1,000 earned. The team consisted of:[6]

There were a number of changes from 2014. The number of captain's picks was increased from three to four with the selections being made later than previously, especially moving the fourth and last pick to less than a week before the Ryder Cup, right after the completion of the Tour Championship. The qualifying events included both the 2015 World Golf Championships events and The Players Championship, on top of the four 2015 major championships as in previous years, but only included 2016 PGA Tour events actually played in 2016, thus excluded any other event played in 2015. The qualifying period was also extended because the Olympic Games had moved the timeslot for the 2016 PGA Championship which took place already at the end of July.

The leading 15 players (and including the last captain's pick who was in 20th place) in the final points list[7] were:

Position Name Points
1 Dustin Johnson 11975.111
2 Jordan Spieth 11400.143

Europe

[edit]

The European team qualification rules were announced on May 26, 2015. The basic qualification rules were unchanged from those for the 2014 event. The team consisted of:[8][9]

  • The leading four players on the Ryder Cup European Points List
  • The leading five players, not qualified above, on the Ryder Cup World Points List
    • Total World Rankings Points earned in Official World Golf Ranking events starting on September 3, 2015 (the start date of the M2M Russian Open), and ending with the Made in Denmark tournament that finished on August 28, 2016, except that (i) all events in the week finishing on August 14, 2016 (the week of the men's Olympic tournament), were excluded and (ii) only the Made in Denmark tournament ending on August 28, 2016, was counted for that week. The Open de France was allocated Ryder Cup points based on the OWGR points scale for a tournament whose winner earns 64 OWGR points, though the winner actually only earned 42 OWGR points.
  • Three captain's picks
    • Announced in the week starting August 29, 2016.

Only European members of the European Tour were eligible for the team and players could only earn points in the above two lists while they were a member of the European Tour. Paul Casey was not a member of the European Tour and was ineligible to earn points or be selected to the team.[10] Russell Knox was not yet a member of the European Tour when he won the 2015 WGC-HSBC Champions. Two weeks after that win, he took up membership in order to try to qualify for the Ryder Cup,[11] but the money and the approximately 90 OWGR points he had earned since the start of the qualification period[12] did not count toward his Ryder Cup point totals. If these OWGR points had counted, he would have qualified easily by finishing fourth on the world ranking list; instead, he finished in tenth place, 12.36 OWGR points from automatic qualification, and was not selected as a captain's pick.[13]

The leading players in the European Ryder Cup points lists were:[14]

Players in qualifying places (Q) are shown in green; captain's picks (P) are shown in yellow; those in italics (q) qualified through the other points list.

Sergio García and Justin Rose, who qualified through the World points list, finished in 17th and 26th place respectively on the European points list.[14]

Teams

[edit]

Captains

[edit]

Darren Clarke was named as the European captain on February 18, 2015.[15] He was selected by a five-man selection panel consisting of the last three Ryder Cup captains: Paul McGinley, José María Olazábal, Colin Montgomerie, another ex-Ryder Cup player David Howell and the European Tour chief executive George O'Grady.[16]

Davis Love III was named the United States captain on February 24, 2015.[17] He had previously captained the 2012 team.

Vice-captains

[edit]

Each captain selects a number of vice-captains to assist him during the tournament.

Clarke selected Thomas Bjørn, Pádraig Harrington, and Paul Lawrie as European team vice-captains in May 2016.[18] He added Ian Poulter in June[19] and Sam Torrance in July.[20]

Tom Lehman was named as a United States vice-captain at the same press conference that Love was named as captain.[17] In November 2015 three more vice-captains were named: Jim Furyk, Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods. All three had been members of the American Task Force.[21] On September 27, 2016, Love selected Bubba Watson as the fifth vice-captain.[22]

View on Grokipedia
from Grokipedia
The 2016 Ryder Cup was the 41st edition of the biennial professional golf competition between teams representing the United States and Europe, held from September 30 to October 2 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. The event featured 12 players per team, selected through a combination of points-based automatic qualifications and captain's picks, with Davis Love III captaining the United States and Darren Clarke leading Europe. The matches followed the traditional Ryder Cup format: four foursomes and four four-ball contests on Friday, the same on Saturday, and 12 singles matches on Sunday, for a total of 28 possible points, with 14.5 needed for victory; ties award half a point each. The dominated throughout, securing a 9½–6½ lead after the first two days and clinching the with a final score of 17–11, marking their first win since 2008. This victory, the largest margin for the U.S. since , ended Europe's streak of three consecutive triumphs and restored American pride on home soil. Key highlights included Patrick Reed's standout performance for the U.S., earning 3.5 points with a 3–1–1 record, highlighted by a thrilling 1-up singles victory over Rory McIlroy on the final hole. Europe's rookie Thomas Pieters impressed with a 4–1 record and 4 points, the best debut since 1979, while the iconic singles matchup between Phil Mickelson and Sergio Garcia ended in a halve after 18 intense holes. The tournament also drew attention for the boisterous American crowd, which energized the home team but sparked debates on fan behavior, prompting enhanced security measures. No prize money was awarded to players, but proceeds supported charities, underscoring the event's emphasis on team rivalry and sportsmanship.

Event Background

Dates and Venue

The 2016 Ryder Cup took place from September 30 to October 2 at in , marking the 41st edition of the biennial team competition between professional golfers from the and . The venue, designed by Sr. and opened in 1962, had previously hosted major championships including the 2002 and 2009 PGA Championships, as well as the 1970 U.S. Open. The PGA of America selected Hazeltine as the host site on April 2, 2002, citing its challenging layout and suitability for match-play events. For the Ryder Cup, the course was reconfigured to a par-72 layout measuring 7,628 yards, with holes 1 through 4 and 14 through 18 forming the front nine, and holes 10 through 13 followed by 5 through 9 comprising the back nine; this adjustment aimed to optimize spectator viewing and match flow by placing dramatic finishing holes earlier. Key features included the 633-yard par-5 third hole, which demanded a precise tee shot to avoid left-side bunkers before an uphill approach to a well-guarded green, and the 642-yard par-5 sixth, the longest hole on the course and one of the most demanding in major championship history due to its length and strategic bunkering. The event was dedicated to , the legendary American golfer and seven-time major champion who passed away on September 25, 2016, at the age of 87; tributes included a during the and statements from both team captains honoring his legacy in the , where he holds the U.S. record with 22 wins. Weather conditions were generally favorable throughout the weekend, featuring partly sunny skies, mild temperatures in the high 60s to low 70s (around 20-22°C), light winds under 10 mph, and no significant rain or disruptions, allowing the course to remain in pristine condition.

Competition Format

The 2016 Ryder Cup utilized a format, in which each contest is decided by the number of holes won, with matches limited to a maximum of 18 holes and the winner earning one full point. A total of 28 points were available across the three days of competition, requiring 14.5 points to claim outright victory; in the event of a 14–14 tie, the defending champion—, in this case—would retain the Cup. As the home team, the captain, , selected the session order, opting for in the mornings and fourballs in the afternoons on both Friday and Saturday, followed by singles on Sunday. The event spanned three days with a structured of team and individual . On and Saturday, the morning sessions each consisted of four , while the afternoon sessions featured four fourballs , totaling 16 team contests over those two days. Sunday's session included 12 singles , with all players from each team participating once. The home captain also held the advantage of announcing the singles lineup first, allowing the visiting captain to respond with pairings. In , also known as alternate shot, each pair of partners shares a single ball, alternating strokes throughout the match; one player tees off on all odd-numbered holes, while the other tees off on even-numbered holes. Fourballs, or better ball, allowed each player on a team to play their own ball on every hole, with the lower score of the two partners counting toward the team's result for that hole; partners alternated teeing honors to start each hole. If a match ended in a tie after 18 holes, each team received half a point.
