Details of Ryder Cup and the Ticket Luck value
Ryder Cup
The Ryder Cup is a golf trophy contested twice-yearly by teams from Europe and the United States. The Matches are jointly administered by the PGA of America and the PGA European Tour.
Early matches between the two sides were fairly even, but after the Second World War, repeated US dominance led to a decision to extend the representation of the British & Irish team to Europe in 1979. Severiano Ballesteros and Antonio Garrido were the first Spaniards to play in the event in 1979. Europe has also been represented since then by players from Denmark, France, Germany, Italy and Sweden.
Format
The Ryder Cup Matches involve various match play matches between players selected from two teams of twelve. Currently, the matches consist of eight foursomes matches, eight fourball matches and twelve singles matches. The winner of each match scores a point for their team, with a point each for any match that is tied after 18 holes.
A foursomes match is a competition between two teams of two golfers. The golfers on the same team take alternate shots throughout the match. Each hole is won by the team that completes the hole in the fewest shots. A fourball match is also a competition between two teams of two golfers, but all four golfers play their own ball throughout the round rather than alternating shots, and each hole is won by the team whose individual golfer has the lowest score. A singles match is a standard matchplay competition between two golfers.
The matches take place over three days, Friday through Sunday. On the Friday, there are four fourball matches and four foursomes matches in the afternoon. On the Saturday, the same schedule repeats. On the Sunday, there are twelve singles matches. The captain can select any eight players for each of the four rounds of play over these two days.
The format has changed over the years. From the inaugural event through 1959 the Ryder Cup was a two-day competition, with four 36-hole foursomes matches on the first day and eight 36-hole singles matches on the second day, for a total of 12 points. In 1961 the matches were changed to 18 holes each but the number of matches was doubled, resulting in a total of 24 points. In 1963 the event was expanded to three days, with eight fourball matches being added on the middle day to make 32 points. This format remained until 1977, when the number of matches was reduced to 20: five foursomes matches on the first day, five fourball matches on the second day, and ten singles matches on the final day. In 1979, the first year continental European players participated, the format was changed to the 28-match version in use today.
Founding of the Cup
James Harnett appears to have proposed a similar idea but Sylvanus P. "SP" Jermain, president of the Inverness Club had it, the next year. This resulted in an unofficial match in 1921. Present at the second 1926 match, was Samuel Ryder. Mr Ryder thought it would be good idea to make the match official and thus the Ryder Cup was founded.
Controversial Ryder Cups
1969
The 1969 Cup held at Royal Birkdale was perhaps one of the best and most competitive contests in terms of play. In one of golf's most memorable moments of sportsmanship, Jack Nicklaus, playing in his first Ryder Cup Matches, conceded a two-footer to Tony Jacklin after making a four-footer for par on the last green. The 'gimme' was very generous; Jacklin was far from assured of making it.
1991
The dispute between Seve Ballesteros and Paul Azinger escalated at the Kiawah Island Golf Resort in 1991. They eventually produced what is regarded as the best pairs match in history, the Spaniards winning 2&1.
1999
The 1999 Ryder Cup held at The Country Club in Brookline, Mass., caused great controversy. A remarkable comeback by the American team helped propel the U.S. to a 14.5-13.5 victory after trailing 10-6 heading into the final day. The U.S. went 8-3-1 in singles matches to seal the first American victory since 1993.
The competition turned on the 17th hole of a match between American Justin Leonard and Spaniard Jose Maria Olazabal. Leonard needed to earn at least a half-point by either winning one of the last two holes, or finishing the match at all square to seal an American victory. After Olazabal's second shot left him with a 22-foot putt on the par-4, Leonard hit his shot within 10 feet of the hole and then watched it roll away from the cup, leaving him with a 45-foot putt for birdie.
