Here’s all the lowdown
A brief history
The Ryder Cup is a biennial men’s competition between the United States and Europe. It takes place every two years and the venue alternates between courses in America and Europe.
There are 12 players on each team and the selection process is largely based on individual performances at major tournaments over a 12-month period. Nine players automatically qualify for Europe and the captain will select three wild cards, while eight qualify for the USA and the captain has four of his own picks.
Matchplay is the game of choice at the Ryder Cup. The Friday and Saturday action involves four foursomes and four fourball matches taking place each day.
On Sunday the pressure is cranked to the maximum. All players must play in one-on-one singles matches.
The winner of each match scores a point, with half a point each for any match that is tied after the 18 holes. The overall winner of the Ryder Cup is determined by cumulative total points.

Matthew Beedle
Matthew has been playing golf since he was around 13 and took up the game at a local nine-hole municipal course with his friends before joining Pontefract & District Golf Club just over the hedge.
Still a member of Pontefract with a handicap of 3, he currently sits on the board of directors to help with digital and marketing initiatives in order to improve membership and visitor income.
Matthew graduated university with a First Class in Sports Journalism from Leeds Trinity University and has been working in the golf industry since graduating.
NCG’s social media & marketing manager, Matthew’s main job role is to increase website traffic to the National Club Golfer website via our email and social media channels as well as driving entries to grow our NCG Top 100s Tour events amongst other tasks.
Not one to change his equipment too often, Matthew currently plays the TaylorMade M2 driver which has lasted the test of time in his bag. Elsewhere, you’ll find him using the TaylorMade Stealth 2 three-wood with a Ping G425 Crossover 2-iron to aid his long game.
Through his 4-iron to Gap Wedge, Matthew uses the Ping i500 irons accompanied by Ping’s Glide 3.0 56-degree and 60-degree wedges.
Another club that has stood the test of time in his bag is a Nike Method Core MC-3i putter which has had to have the SuperStroke grip changed at least three times. Ball of choice is the Titleist ProV1.
