The Ryder Cup tells the complete story of one of the world's most
prestigious sporting contests. Fiercely fought every two years, it
uniquely pits teams from two golfing giants - Europe and the USA -
against each other in a sport that is more usually associated with
individual play.
This beautifully illustrated book tells the full story of this great
tournament, from its humble beginnings in 1927, to the introduction of
European golfers into what had been the GB and Ireland team in the late
1970s, to the titanic, see-saw struggles of the modern day. It looks at
each of the Ryder Cups, and features the great players, pairings,
captains and courses along the way. A book for sports fans everywhere,
The Ryder Cup is the definitive chronicling of the history and
prestige of this global sporting event.
