2016 Ryder Cup
Updated: 5/24/2026, 7:22:37 PM Wikipedia source
The 41st Ryder Cup was hosted in the United States from September 30 to October 2, 2016, at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota. Europe entered as defending champions after winning the 2014 Ryder Cup, its third consecutive Ryder Cup win. Team USA won the 41st Ryder Cup, having never trailed during the tournament. Ryan Moore defeated Lee Westwood by one hole to claim the cup with three matches still in progress. U . captain Davis Love III dedicated the win to Arnold Palmer, who died at age 87 five days before the competition. A bag from Palmer's captaincy in the 1975 Ryder Cup at Laurel Valley was placed on the first tee during Friday's opening foursomes to honor Palmer. Team USA swept the opening foursomes on Friday morning for the first time since 1975. Two days after the matches, most of Team USA attended Palmer's public memorial at Saint Vincent College in his hometown of Latrobe, Pennsylvania, and brought the trophy at the request of Palmer's daughter, Amy. A video tribute to Palmer was played at the opening ceremony and tributes to Palmer were included in remarks from Love and European captain Darren Clarke, and honorary captains Jack Nicklaus and Tony Jacklin.
