Ryder Cup In Ireland

Combine a spicy team of Europeans and a sassy team of Americans and you've get the heavily anticipated Ryder Cup in Ireland. Don't get ahead of yourself however. Tickets for the event won't be on sale until around May of 2005. Until then, you can start planning the details of your trip to the Ryder cup in Ireland.

The Ryder Cup was actually developed about 77 years ago. Primarily a competition between Americans and the Brits, the matches of the Ryder Cup have changed quite a bit since 1927. In 1977, after comments and complaints regarding the selection and quality of players, it was decided that contenders could be residents of countries other than Great Britain, so long as they were from Europe.
