Where will the Ryder Cup be played in 2029?

After a trip to Ireland in 2027, the Ryder Cup will return to the USA in 2029 – but which course will play host?

As Europe face off against the United States, golf’s grandest stage will return to the country where it all began.

Chaska, Minnesota will stage the historic battle, as the prestigious Hazeltine National Golf Club plays host to the 2029 Ryder Cup.

The site of the 2016 event, which saw the home side run out 17-11 winners, will become the first American venue to host the match for a second time and only the fifth in total.

The Belfry has hosted the contest most often – four times between 1985 and 2002 – with Royal Lytham & St Annes (1961 and 1977), Royal Birkdale (1965 and 1969), and Southport & Ainsdale (1933 and 1937) the other repeat hosts.

But back to 2016…

Team Europe entered that match looking to win for a fourth time on the spin, but Davis Love III captained his side to a comfortable win, which he later dedicated to Arnold Palmer following his recent death.

Designed by Robert Trent Jones in 1962, Hazeltine was enhanced by his son Rees Jones in 2002 and 2005, and is consistently ranked amongst America’s 100 top courses.

It is steeped in tradition, as it is one of only two clubs in the country to have hosted every premier championship staged by the USGA and PGA of America.

Recognised as one of the most formidable tests of golf in the game, the course hosted the 2002 and 2009 PGA Championships, won by Rich Beem and Y.E. Yang respectively.

Both men held off Tiger Woods to win the Wanamaker Trophy, with the Yang’s winning score only two shots worse than Beem’s ten-under-par tally.

The club was built with staging national championships firmly in mind, and it first held the US Women’s Open in 1966.

• What is the biggest win in Ryder Cup history?

By the time the 2029 Ryder Cup takes place, Hazeltine will have hosted 15 championships in its distinguished history.

The course itself measures over 7,600 yards, with the par-4 16th arguably the pick of the holes.

Players are forced to carry the ball over Hazeltine Lake, while the green is a raised peninsula which falls off on all sides.
