The 2031 Ryder Cup is the world's most important team golf tournament: Europe versus the United States. At PGA Catalunya Resort in Caldes de Malavella (Girona), it will be the first Ryder Cup in Catalunya and the second on the Iberian Peninsula, after Valderrama 1997. Exact dates are yet to be confirmed.
The Ryder Cup is the world's most important and emotional team golf tournament. Unlike the individual majors, the Ryder Cup pits Europe against the United States in matchplay format. Every two years (even years), it alternates between European and American venues. No prize money is at stake for the players: the only goal is to win for your continent. This creates a uniquely intense and unforgettable atmosphere.
PGA Catalunya Resort in Caldes de Malavella (Girona) is one of Europe's finest golf resorts. It features two championship courses: the Stadium Course (par 72, 7,200 metres) and the Tour Course. It has hosted the European Tour and Challenge Tour on several occasions. Its privileged location between the Mediterranean Sea and the Pyrenees, 15 minutes from Girona Airport and 80 km from Barcelona, makes it the perfect setting for a world-class event.
The 1997 Ryder Cup at Valderrama (Sotogrande, Cádiz) was the first and only time the competition had been played on the Iberian Peninsula until now. Europe won 14.5–13.5 with Seve Ballesteros as captain. In 2031, Girona will be the second time on the Peninsula and the first time in Catalonia.
