Welcome to our Tournament's page for the 2012 Ryder Cup golf event.  The U.S. finally got the Ryder Cup back at Valhalla in 2008 after a 10 year absence from winning.   Then in 2010 lost it back across the pond to the Europeans in South Wales two years ago.

The 2012 Ryder Cup will be played in September at Medinah in Chicago Illinois. Davis Love will  Captain the U.S. Team and Jose Maria Olazabel will captain the European team.  

A foursomes match is a competition between two teams of two golfers. The golfers on the same team take alternate shots throughout the match, with the same ball. Each hole is won by the team that completes the hole in the fewest shots.

The matches take place over three days, Friday through Sunday. On the Friday, there are four four ball matches and four foursomes matches in the afternoon. On the Saturday, the same schedule repeats. On the Sunday, there are twelve singles matches. 

Not all players need play on Friday and Saturday; the captain can select any eight players for each of the four rounds of play over these two days. 

The winning team is determined by cumulative total points. Under Ryder Cup rules, the defending champion team from the previous games only needs to halve the cumulative point totals to retain the Cup, while the opposing team must win it outright.
