Why is the Ryder Cup so popular?
Golf is a sport that is usually one player against the rest of the field. You just go out, try to get the best score possible and hope it's better than all the other players in the field achieve. That's the typical strokeplay event that is held all over the world every week. The Ryder Cup is nothing like that. Players aren't battling it out to try and win massive cash prizes. This is Europe v the USA and everything has to be done to ensure your team is the winner. Make the winning putt and you'll be a golfing hero forever. Miss a vital putt and sorry but it's going to be remembered forever.
Once every two years 12 Europeans and 12 Americans do battle for the Ryder Cup. Although the four Majors throughout the year are seen as the sport’s pinnacle and that upon which the game’s great players are judged, many of golf’s most memorable moments are ingrained in Ryder Cup history.
While the Presidents Cup, which pits America against the Rest of the World, follows a similar format, the Ryder Cup evokes emotions and passion like no other golfing event. The venue for the biennial competition alternates between Europe and the U.S.A. with raucous home support often playing a pivotal role in the outcome.
The tournament is played over a match play format. That makes it a totally different battleground. A run of birdies or eagles will do you the power of good in a strokeplay tournament. However, in a matchplay event, you could go from the rough to the bunkers to the water hazards and shoot 10 but if your opponents score 11, you're the one who will have a big smile on your face. Mind you, those who are using sign-up bonuses on that match might need something to calm them down.
Each match played is worth one point to the winner and half-a-point each if drawn. Overall there are 28 points up for grabs. If the match ends 14-14 then whoever went into the event as holders of the trophy retain the cup. The last time that happened was in 1989. The format of the Ryder Cup is as follows:
- Day 1 (Friday) - 4 Foursomes in the morning and 4 Fourballs in the afternoon
- Day 2 (Saturday) - 4 Foursomes in the mornign followed by 4 Fourballs in the afternoon.
- Day 3 (Sunday) - 12 singles matches.
Foursomes sees teams of two players facing each other and each player takes an alternate shot. With Fourball matches, it's again two v two but this time the better ball is the one played. All matches are played over 18 holes and if the scores are level, there are no extra holes played.
Ryder Cup free bets can be used to bet on any of the 28 individual matches throughout the event, as well as who will win the Ryder Cup, which player will score the most points for their team, which player will score the winning point and even which players will be named in their respective teams.
2021 Ryder Cup
The 2021 Ryder Cup sees the USA attempting to regain the trophy. It will take place at the Straits Course at the Whistling Straits Club in Haven, Winconsin this September from September 24-26. They will attempt to win on home soil for the third time in the last four events they have hosted.
The last Ryder Cup was in 2018 when Europe had a convincing win in France to regain the Ryder Cup. The odds were against them on that occasion and they will be again for this 2021 match in America. That was shown on the first two days of the event. Friday saw the USA open up a 6-2 lead. It was a bit closer on Saturday but the USA ended it with an 11-5 lead. That was turned into a 19-9 thrashing on the final day as the USA regained the Ryder Cup in style.
Teams (world ranking position in brackets)
The European team is being captained this year by Padraig Harrington. He played in six Ryder Cups, the last one being in 2010. America are being captained by Steve Stricker who played in four events between 2008 and 2012. Five of the European team that won in 2018 haven't been selected for this year's event. For the USA, four aren't playing, including Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson.

- Viktor Hovland (14)

- Tyrrel Hatton (19)
- Paul Casey (24)
- Matt Fitzpatrick (27)
- Lee Westwood (35)

- Tony Finau (9)
- Brooks Koepka (10)
- Harris English (11)
- Jordan Speith (13)
- Daniel Berger (16)
- Scottie Scheffler (21)
The USA Side has nine of the top 11 in the world rankings. The other two being Spain's Jon Rahm who is the number one ranked player in the world and world number eight Louis Oosthuizen from South Africa. Given that fact, you might well think that it's certain that the American team will come out on top, especially as the European side has six players that are ranked outside the top 30. This is team golf though and over matchplay not strokeplay. That changes a great deal and Europe will put up a great fight to retain their trophy.
