= The History of the Ryder Cup = The historical origins of the Ryder Cup competition are open to debate amongst golf historians. The Ryder Cup began as a series of golf matches between the United States of America (USA) and Great Britain (GB). Sylvanus P. Jermain, president of the Inverness Golf Club in Toledo, Ohio, USA is credited with first coming up with the concept in 1921 by writers of Ryder Cup history. In 1951 the founder of Golf World, Bob Harlow (who also managed Walter Hagen) suggested that Ryder Cup matches were first planned in 1920 by James Harnett. He worked for the sports publication, Golf Illustrated. Harnett had tried to generate potential readers by raising money to fund the expenses for a professional golf match between the United States and Britain. It wasn't until the AGM of the The PGA of America on December 15, 1920, that it was decided fund James Hartnett's concept. Ultimately the sense of competition that that Harnett so enthusiastically wanted to foster became The Ryder Cup competition. Historical records indicate that the first unofficial Ryder Cup-style matches were played in 1921 at Gleneagles Golf Course in Scotland. The American team was chosen by Harnett. Great Britain made Ryder Cup history by beating the American golf team 9-3. The next informal match took place at Wentworth Golf Club in England. Great Britain ran out easy winners with a score of 13

The Ryder Cup is a golf competition between teams from the United States and teams from Europe. The Ryder Cup began in 1927, and originally was a competition between United States teams and teams from Great Britain and Ireland. Following World War II, the US teams began dominating the competition so much that the games were hardly even competitive. Therefore, in 1979, representatives decided to expand the competition to include teams from continental Europe. Since this time, Ryder Cup matches have been much more competitive.

the US has won 4 times and has tie once; since the conception of the Ryder cup USA has won 25 of 39 times. Originally contested between Great Britain and the United States, the first official Ryder Cup took place in 1927 at Worcester Country Club, in Massachusetts, US. The home team won the first five contests, but with the competition's resumption after the Second World War, repeated American dominance eventually led to a decision to extend the representation of "Great Britain and Ireland" to include continental Europe from 1979.
