The humble start of the Ryder Cup was inspired by a man’s love of golf and this tradition continues today. The Ryder Cup has spanned over 77 years and 34 competitions.

In 1991 Americans reclaimed the Ryder Cup with a victory in Kiawah Island, South Carolina. Then in 1993 the Americans won another close match at The Belfry.

There is some debate over who suggested the idea for the Ryder Cup. James Harnett, a journalist with Golf Illustrated magazine appears to have proposed a similar idea to the USPGA on December 15, 1920 and, having failed to attract support, the idea was refloated by Sylvanus P. "SP" Jermain, president of the Inverness Club, the next year. This resulted in an unofficial match in 1921, won 9–3 by the British, and another in 1926, won 13½–1½ by Britain. Present at the second 1926 match, held on the East Course at Wentworth Club, Virginia Water, Surrey, was Samuel Ryder, a seed merchant who traded from St Albans, Hertfordshire. Having watched the play, Mr. Ryder thought it would be good idea to make the match official and ... the Ryder Cup was founded, with Ryder donating the trophy.
