2021 Ryder Cup Betting

The golf world will be watching all of the action at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wisconsin, as the top golfers in the United States and in Europe fight it out for the 2021 Ryder Cup. This biennial event will run from Friday, September 24 through Sunday, September 26, as the Europeans seek to defend their Ryder Cup title, won in 2018. Europe has won 12 of the last 17 Ryder Cups since 1983. This will be the 43rd Ryder Cup and because of COVID-19, the Ryder Cup will be taking place a year later than scheduled, as it was originally scheduled for September, 2020. Future Ryder Cups will now be held in odd-numbered years, while the Presidents Cup will take place in even-numbered years.

43rd Ryder Cup at a Glance

Dates: September 24–26, 2021

Course: Whistling Straits, Haven, Wisconsin

Captains: Steve Stricker (USA), Pádraig Harrington (Europe)

Defending Champion: Team Europe

The Ryder Cup is unique in that all of the rounds are match play instead of typical tournament stroke play. On Friday and Saturday, the captains will pick teams to play in the foursome and fourball competitions. Also, unlike typical match play like this, there are no playoffs. Matches which end in draws award each team a half point. Winning matches are worth one whether they're won by one shot or multiple shots.

The Ryder Cup has a total of 28 matches over the course of the three days. Eight points are available in each of the first two days of competition, while 12 singles matches are played on Sunday to help determine the winner.

The teams will be finalized later, but we do know who the captains and vice-captains are for the teams. Padraig Harrington will be captaining Europe, while Steve Stricker will captain the U.S. team.
