Ryder Cup to return to Spain in 2031
The news was announced by the European Tour Group on Tuesday.

— Ryder Cup Europe (@RyderCupEurope) July 22, 2025
It will only be the fourth time the tournament will have been played in continental Europe after Paris (2018) and Rome (2023) followed Valderrama as hosts.
This year's Ryder Cup takes place at Bethpage Black in New York in September. Adare Manor in Limerick, Ireland will be the venue in 2027 and Hazeltine, near Minnesota in 2029.
Guy Kinnings, chief executive of the European Tour Group, said: 'Today's announcement not only recognises Camiral as one of Europe's leading venues, but also the considerable contribution Spanish golf has made to the proud history of the Ryder Cup.
'The Ryder Cup has grown significantly since Spain last hosted it in 1997. It is one of the world's leading sporting events, which brings significant economic benefits and global exposure to a host region and country, so we could not be happier to be taking it to Costa Brava and Barcelona for the first time, and to Spain for the second time.'
Eleven Spaniards have represented Europe throughout the competition's history and Seve Ballesteros famously captained the team to victory over the United States at Valderrama.
Camiral, which is close to Girona and around an hour's travel from Barcelona, has also been confirmed as the host of the Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship on the DP World Tour from 2028-30.
Jose Manuel Rodriguez Uribes, president of Spain's national sports council, said: 'The Government of Spain welcomes the selection of Camiral as the host venue for the 2031 Ryder Cup – a global sporting event that will showcase our country to millions of viewers around the world.
'The Ryder Cup is not only one of the most prestigious competitions on the international sporting calendar, but also an exceptional platform to demonstrate Spain's ability to successfully host major 21st-century events, combining world-class infrastructure, unparalleled natural environment and a globally renowned tourism, cultural and culinary offering.'
Juan Guerrero-Burgos, president of the Royal Spanish Golf Federation, said: 'It is an honour for Spain to host the Ryder Cup for the second time in history.
'The previous experience at Valderrama in 1997 was extraordinary. The economic impact, media coverage and more importantly, the legacy to our sport, tourism and awareness of golf in our country were unbelievable.'

Sarina Wiegman's three-word conclusion says it all after Lionesses' Euro 2025 success
Sarina Wiegman has achieved one of the most ridiculous trophy hauls in the world of football, winning her THIRD successive European Championships, having led the Lionesses to 2021 and 2025 glory, after guiding Netherlands to victory in 2017 Sarina Wiegman could only conclude that 'football is chaos' after her England team's dramatic Euro 2025 triumph. The Lionesses led for barely a minute during the entire knockout stages in Switzerland, but that didn't matter as they came from behind time after time. 'I just can't believe it, but I have a medal around my neck and we have a trophy,' Wiegman said. 'It has been the most chaotic tournament on the pitch – all the challenges we had on the pitch against our opponents. 'From the first game it was chaos. Losing your first game and becoming European Champions is incredible. Football is chaos.' After losing that opener against France, England needed wins against the Netherlands and Wales just to reach the knockout stages. There, they came from behind to beat Sweden on penalties and Italy in extra-time. The final against Spain also went to penalties, after Lionesses star Alessia Russo cancelled out Mariona Caldentey's first-half opener. And Wiegman hailed the collective spirit of her side as goalkeeper Hannah Hampton saved two Spanish penalties before Chloe Kelly scored the decisive spot-kick. 'I can't believe it. The word 'team' really described who we are – a team,' the manager said after her players defended their Euros crown. 'We said we can win by any means and that's what we have shown again today. I am so proud of the team and the staff. It is incredible.' It was Spain who came out on top against England in the 2023 World Cup final, but Wiegman's team got their revenge at St Jakob-Park And it was a third straight Euros for manager Wiegman after her 2022 triumph with England and a 2017 success in charge of the Netherlands. England hero Hampton was so caught up in the moment that she had to check with fans to be certain Kelly's penalty would win it. 'When Chloe stepped up I turned around to the fans, miming a kick and trying to ask if we score do we win, I'd completely lost track,' she said. 'They were just cheering at me so I didn't know what the answer was, but then I saw that run up and that was it, we've won. I can't believe it.'

Adorable Princess Charlotte moment with three words as England lift trophy
Princess Charlotte and Prince William have issued a statement after the Lionesses triumphant Euros final victory over Spain. Charlotte, who was joined by her father Prince William on the pitch, could be seen beaming with pride as Chloe Kelly and the rest of the team made history with back-to-back European Championship victories. The pair said "what a game!" in a statement on X, adding: "@Lionesses, you are the champions of Europe and we couldn't be prouder of the whole team. Enjoy this moment England. W & Charlotte." Also applauding the team on social media was King Charles, who said: 'This brings you, your manager and all your support team my most heartfelt congratulations on winning the Euros 2025. For more years than I care to remember, England fans have sung that famous chant 'football's coming home'. 'As you return home with the trophy you won at Wembley three years ago, it is a source of great pride that, through sporting skill and awesome teamwork, the Lionesses have made those words ring true. For this, you have my whole family's warmest appreciation and admiration. 'More than that, though, you have shown through your example over past weeks that there are no setbacks so tough that defeat cannot be transformed into victory, even as the final whistle looms. Well done, Lionesses. The next task is to bring home the World Cup in 2027 if you possibly can!" Arsenal striker Alessia Russo pulled a goal back for England after the Spanish women's team went one-nil up thanks to Mariona Caldentey. But it was Chloe Kelly who Princess Charlotte can thank after she powered the decisive penalty past keeper Cata Coll. Charlotte was alongside her father Prince William and looked nervy during the shootout, joining plenty of other supporters with their heads in their hands during the tense finale. The Prince of Wales, who is patron of the Football Association (FA), applauded the national anthem as he stood next to Charlotte in the stadium. Jubilant fans were spotted in the stadium and around the country as the Lionesses completed the historic feat of becoming back-to-back champions. A nervous atmosphere erupted at Boxpark Croydon as Russo's header found the net, with England flags being waved and supporters hugging each other during the celebrations. At the final whistle, fans of the Lionesses appeared confident as they started dancing and cheering into extra time. William and Charlotte were earlier pictured in Switzerland for the Euros final as the Royal Family led the nation in wishing good luck to England's Lionesses.

Before kick-off, supporters waved England flags and loudly sang the national anthem at Boxpark Croydon and star striker Michelle Agyemang's former team, Brandon Groves Community Club in Essex. Agyemang, 19, who had one England cap before the tournament, scored crucial equalisers in the Lionesses' quarter-final and semi-final comebacks.

England's path to the final has been marked by late drama. They sealed their spot with a last-gasp extra-time win over Italy, following a penalty shootout victory against Sweden in the quarter-finals after nearly crashing out in extra time. The Lionesses will be looking for redemption against Spain, who edged them 1-0 in the 2023 Women's World Cup final. England boss Sarina Wiegman said the team is 'going to do everything we can to win it' and she would prefer to avoid a 'nerve-wracking' match.
