Dates For 2014 Ryder Cup Announced
The 2014 Ryder Cup will take place at Gleneagles from 26th to 28th September, organisers announced on Tuesday.
Europe are the current holders of the biennial match between Europe and the United States, having triumphed at Celtic Manor in Wales last October, when the event went into a fourth day for the first time in the tournament’s history due to torrential rain.
Scotland’s First Minister Alex Salmond has estimated the Scottish economy would benefit by up to £100 million from the event – which will take place in the same year as Glasgow will host the Commonwealth Games.
It will be the 40th staging of the Ryder Cup and the second time the event has been held in Scotland, after the contest was played at Muirfield in East Lothian, in 1973.
The 2012 Ryder Cup will be held next September at the Medinah Country Club in Illinois.
Europe have won four of the previous five Ryder Cups.
