The Ryder Cup will be hosted in Spain in twenty thirty-one, with the Camiral resort in Costa Brava selected as the venue. This will mark the second time the prestigious tournament is held in Spain, following its first staging at Valderrama in nineteen ninety-seven. The announcement comes as the tournament gains popularity globally.

Owned by Irish billionaire Denis O’Brien and his wife Catherine, Camiral will precede significant upcoming Ryder Cup venues, including Bethpage Black in New York in twenty twenty-five, Adare Manor in Limerick in twenty twenty-seven, and Hazeltine National in Minnesota in twenty twenty-nine. The venue will also host the DP World Tour’s Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship from twenty twenty-six.

The O’Briens emphasised that hosting the Ryder Cup realises a long-held dream to elevate Catalonia’s profile as a golfing destination, promising economic growth for communities in Girona, Costa Brava, and Barcelona. They expressed gratitude towards the Catalan and Spanish governments for their support.

Guy Kinnings, chief executive of the European Tour Group, stated the announcement acknowledges Camiral as a premier venue and highlights Spain’s contributions to the Ryder Cup’s history. Spanish golf has proud traditions, with eleven players having represented Europe, including legendary captain Seve Ballesteros during the memorable victory at Valderrama.
