How to Buy Ryder Cup Tickets

The Ryder Cup has been an official competition since 1927. It pits the best of American and British professional golfers against one another. The seed of the idea for the Ryder Cup came in 1921, when amateur American and British Golfers played against each other in a series of matches in Gleneagles, Scotland. Talk then started of creating a similar event for professional golfers.
