The 43rd Ryder Cup Matches were held in the United States from September 24–26, 2021, on the Straits course at Whistling Straits, Haven, Wisconsin. Europe was the holder of the Ryder Cup after its win over the United States in 2018 at Le Golf National.

The United States, fielding its youngest team in its history, regained the Ryder Cup in 2021 with a record 19–9 victory.[1] This was the largest margin of victory in a Ryder Cup since 1967. Continental Europe joined the Ryder Cup in 1979; this is Europe's heaviest defeat in Ryder Cup history.[1][2] Combined with its 2016 win at Hazeltine, the United States won back-to-back Ryder Cups on home soil for the first time since 1979 and 1983.[3]

Due to several tournaments, including a number of majors, shifting their schedules due to the COVID-19 pandemic (including one major being cancelled and one being moved to November), the Ryder Cup was originally scheduled to take place only five days after the final round of the rescheduled U.S. Open, from September 25 to 27, 2020.[4]

On July 8, 2020, the PGA of America announced the postponement of the event to September 24 to 26, 2021, because of the pandemic. The next Ryder Cup will now be held in 2023 and further odd years, while the Presidents Cup was also rescheduled into 2022 and further even years, resetting the yearly rotation of both events to how they were scheduled before the September 11 attacks in 2001.[5]

Format

The Ryder Cup is a match play event, with each match worth one point. The event took place from September 24–26, 2021 at the Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin.[6] The event was played over three days, with four foursomes (alternate shots) and four fourball matches on the first day. The second day followed with the same matches, and the third day had twelve singles matches.[6] The event was played between teams of twelve representing the United States, and Europe. As the hosting team, the United States captain determined which matches were played during the morning session, and which were played in the afternoon.[6]

With a total of 28 points available, 141⁄2 points were required to win the Cup, and 14 points were required for the defending champion to retain the Cup. All matches were played to a maximum of 18 holes.

Team selection

United States

The United States qualification rules were announced on February 20, 2019.[7] These were amended on August 5, 2020.[8] The qualification rules are similar to those used for the 2018 Ryder Cup. The majority of the team are selected from the Ryder Cup points list which is based on prize money won in important tournaments, with one point awarded for every $1,000 earned unless otherwise stated below. The team consists of:

  • The leading six players on the Ryder Cup points list, gained in the following events:[9]
    • 2019 major championships, 1 point per $1,000 earned
    • 2019 World Golf Championship events and The Players Championship, 1 point per $2,000 earned
    • 2020 major championships (double points for the winner, 1.5 times points for those who make the cut)
    • 2020 PGA Tour events. Qualifying events in this category are those played between January 1 and the conclusion of the Mayakoba Golf Classic on December 6, 2020 (previously August 23, 2020, the date of the BMW Championship). "Alternate" events (those played opposite a major or WGC event) do not earn points
    • 2021 PGA Tour events. Qualifying events in this category are those played between January 10 and the conclusion of the BMW Championship. "Alternate" events (those played opposite a major or WGC event) do not earn points
    • 2021 major championships (double points for the winner, 1.5 times points for those who make the cut)
  • Six captain's picks
    • Announced on September 8, 2021, three days after the conclusion of the Tour Championship

The leading 15 players in the final points list after the final qualifying event, the BMW Championship, were:[10][11]

Europe

The European team qualification rules were announced on May 8, 2019. There was one significant change from the previous Ryder Cup, with the number of captain's picks reduced from four to three.[12][13] Following the postponement, points were frozen from after the Qatar Masters until January 1, 2021, with the new end date and amendments to the points multipliers expected to be announced before then.[14] The team consisted of:

  • The leading four players on the Race to Dubai Points List[15]
    • Points earned in all Race to Dubai tournaments starting in September 2019 with the BMW PGA Championship and ending with the BMW PGA Championship in September 2020. Points earned in the later events of 2020 were multiplied by 1.5.
    • The leading four members on The Ryder Cup European Points List on September 12, 2021 (or as at the conclusion of the BMW PGA Championship, whichever was the latter and so long as such tournament concluded no later than September 13, 2021).
  • The leading five players, not qualified above, on the World Points List[15]
    • Total World Points earned in Official World Golf Ranking events starting in September 2019 with the BMW PGA Championship and ending with the BMW PGA Championship in September 2020. Points earned in the later events of 2020 were multiplied by 1.5. No World points were earned from tournaments staged opposite Rolex Series tournaments in both 2019 and 2020.
    • The leading five members, not otherwise qualified above, on The Ryder Cup World Points List on Sunday September 12, 2021 (or at the conclusion of the BMW PGA Championship, whichever was the latter and so long as such tournament concluded no later than September 13, 2021).
  • Three captain's picks
    • The captain, Padraig Harrington, chose the remaining three members on September 12, 2021.[16]

The leading players in the final point lists[17][18] were:

Vice-captains

For the US team, in October 2019, Stricker announced Jim Furyk as his first vice-captain.[21] On May 11, 2020, Zach Johnson and Davis Love III were revealed as the next two vice-captains.[22] On September 1, 2021, Stricker named his final two vice-captains, Phil Mickelson and Fred Couples.[23]

For the European team, in September 2019, Harrington announced Robert Karlsson as his first vice-captain.[24] In May 2020, during an interview he accidentally revealed Luke Donald as his second vice-captain. In June 2021, Harrington announced two more of his vice-captains, Martin Kaymer and Graeme McDowell.[25] On September 15, 2021, nine days ahead of the tournament, Henrik Stenson was named as the fifth and final European vice-captain.[26]

Sunday's matches

Team Europe won the opening singles match of the day when McIlroy defeated Schauffele, 3 and 2, however the United States team went on to win six of the next eight matches to regain the Ryder Cup. Scheffler birdied five of the first six holes and ultimately defeated the previously unbeaten Rahm, 4 and 3; Cantlay remained unbeaten for the week with a 4 and 2 victory over Lowry; and DeChambeau, having eagled the opening hole after driving the green, never trailed in his 3 and 2 win over García to take the team to 14 points. The cup winning 1⁄2 point came when Morikawa and Hovland tied their match, bringing the overall score to 141⁄2–61⁄2.[39]
