The 2021
Ryder Cup Matches will be held on the Straits course at Whistling Straits, Haven, Wisconsin, USA between 24 and 26 September.
The competition is contested by Team USA and Team Europe every two years, but the tournament was postponed in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Team Europe are the holders of the Ryder Cup after their 17½–10½ victory over Team USA in 2018 at Le Golf National in Guyancourt, a suburb southwest of Paris, France.
With a total of 28 points available, 14½ points are required to win the Cup, and 14 points are required for the defending champions, Team Europe to retain the Cup.

Team USA captain Steve Stricker has named Daniel Berger, Harris English, Tony Finau, Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth among his 12 players for this year's tournament.
Collin Morikawa, Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay automatically qualified following the PGA Tour’s BMW Championship.
On the other hand, Team European captain Padraig Harrington selected Sergio Garcia, Shane Lowry and Ian Poulter as his three picks to complete his 12-player team.
The trio join the nine automatic qualifiers – Paul Casey, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Viktor Hovland, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Lee Westwood and Bernd Wiesberger.

"I would say the excitement is at a fevered pitch," said Ryder Cup Director Jason Mengel ahead of this year's tournament.
"I mean here we stand, less than three weeks away from welcoming really golf fans all over the world.
"And the best players from the United States and the best players from Europe, here to Wisconsin at Whistling Straits," he added.
"Kohler was awarded and Wisconsin was awarded the Ryder Cup back in 2005. It's very much a heightened state of anticipation at this point."
