Description
The 44th Ryder Cup Matches was held in Italy in the autumn of 2023 at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Guidonia Montecelio near Rome.
The Ryder Cup is a biennial men's golf tournament pitting teams from Europe against the United States. It alternates between U.S. and European courses every two years. Samuel Ryder, an English businessman, donated the trophy.
Initially between Great Britain and the U.S., the first official Ryder Cup took place in 1927 in the U.S. The U.S. dominated early on, leading to the inclusion of continental European players in 1979. Europe has won eleven times outright and retained the Cup once in a tied match, while the U.S. has won nine times since 1979.
The 2021 Ryder Cup held in Wisconsin saw the U.S. beat Europe 19–9, marking the biggest win since 1979. The Ryder Cup shifted from odd to even years in 2002 and back to odd years in 2021 due to 9/11 and the COVID-19 pandemic.
