The Ryder Cup, one of the last great sporting events founded on prestige rather than prize money, was first contested in 1927.
The origin of the idea to stage international matches between the best American professionals and those of Great Britain is a subject of debate among golf historians.
In 1973, The Ryder Cup was contested for the first time in Scotland at historic Muirfield. The PGA of Great Britain altered its selection procedure by having eight players chosen from a year-long points system and four by invitation.
The introduction of players from continental Europe into The Ryder Cup fold in 1979 marked a new chapter in the history of the biennial competition and after years of U.S. domination the tide started to turn.
