The Ryder Cup is performed every two years, alternating between US and European courses.<\/p>\n

What is the Rider Cup format?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Ryder Cup is a three-day match play contest. The first two days feature competition in which players compete as pairs in two different formats: foursome and four balls. On the final day there will be a 12 head-to-head singles match.<\/p>\n
