Ryder Cup 2014 - the Ryder Cup comes home

Congratulations to Europe on winning the 2012 Ryder Cup against all the odds and bringing it home. Now Scotland, The Home of Golf, and the golfing world look forward to you defending the trophy at the 2014 Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in two years’ time. It’s such a thrilling prospect.

In Chicago, José María Olazábal’s team succeeded in one of the greatest sporting triumphs ever witnessed. Europe had 12 heroes in their ranks who were inspired by the words of Olazábal and the memory of his compatriot and golfing legend Seve Ballesteros. Among the European heroes was Scotland’s own Paul Lawrie and the nation is immensely proud of his own last day performance.

The thing about the Ryder Cup is that it never disappoints in terms of sheer spectacle and excitement and tension. Medinah will never be forgotten. It was also a taster of what’s to come in two years time when Europe and the United States lock horns on the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles.

Imagine one of the greatest sporting tournaments on the planet at one of the world’s most legendary golfing venues. Picture the finest golfers on earth doing battle, and hear the roar of the crowd in the heart of Perthshire.

The Ryder Cup has come home and The Home of Golf awaits the next chapter in the astonishing story of this remarkable tournament.

It’s going to be a golden week at Gleneagles. 2014 can’t come soon enough.
