Junior Ryder Cup - Tournament Format

Day One will features foursomes matches, followed by mixed fourballs matches, while Day Two will feature Singles matches. This change in format was made prior to the 2008 Junior Ryder Cup, creating twice as many points to play for, making the competition more similar to the Ryder Cup Matches tournament itself.

History of The Junior Ryder Cup

In 1995, an informal match between European junior golfers and Central New York PGA Section and area juniors was played in the United States; Europe dominated but no results were published. Semi-official matches were played in the next two Ryder Cup years, with Europe now taking on the whole of the United States. The Americans won 7-5 in 1997 and Europe won 10½ to 1½ in 1999.

The Junior Ryder Cup was formally introduced in 2002 and the first event was played at the K Club in Ireland, venue for the 2006 Ryder Cup. The contest was won by Europe by 9½ to 2½. The second event was held in 2004 at Westfield Group Country Club in Ohio, USA and the European Team retained the title by winning 8½ to 3½. The 2006 event in Wales was tied 6-6. The United States Junior Ryder Cup Team came out strong on the second day of competition and cruised to victory at the 2008 Junior Ryder Cup, 22 to 2, at The Club at Olde Stone in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Several players in the competition have gone on to launch successful professional golf careers. Most notable among them is Sergio García, who played for the 1995 European team. Isabelle Lendl (former tennis star Ivan Lendl's daughter) played for the United States in 2006.
