This year's contest was originally due to take place in September , only to be pushed back 12 months due to the Covid pandemic. They both have five vice-captains to assist them with their team. Europe has nine players who secured their places via a lengthy qualification process, extended due to the Covid pandemic, with the team completed by three captain's selections. The home side had a slightly longer qualification campaign, concluding the BMW Championship, with Stricker then naming six wildcards to his six automatic qualifiers the following week.
There are 28 matches played over the three days, under three different types of match play - foursomes, fourballs and singles. Foursomes sees two golfers from Europe compete against a pair from the USA, with team members alternating between shots and each team using one ball.
Four matches are played on Friday morning and four on Saturday morning. Fourballs also sees two golfers from each team compete, but each player uses his own ball. The lowest score from each pair will count for the score for their side.
There are four fourball matches each afternoon for the first two days. The final day sees all 24 players compete in singles matches, where every member from the USA team plays against a European opponent in a head-to-head contest. The team with the low score on each hole wins that hole. If their scores are tied, the hole is halved. The player with the lower score on each hole wins that hole. Unlike stroke play, players don't have to complete each hole in match play. If a player concedes a stroke — almost always a putt — to his opponent, the opponent picks up his ball, takes the score he would have made on the next stroke and moves on to the next hole.
If the matches end in a draw, the team holding the Ryder Cup retains it. Europe is the defending champion headed into the Ryder Cup. The three days of the matches consist of 28 total matches, each of which is worth one point. By RyderCup. Top News Partner. Twitter Facebook. More News. Watch Now.
