Ryder Cup officially returning to Spain in 2031
Team Europe captain Luke Donald and his team pose with the trophy as they celebrate after winning the 2023 Ryder Cup. MADRID – Ryder Cup Europe confirmed on July 22 that the biennial event will return to Spain in 2031 and be played at the Camiral Golf and Wellness Resort in Caldes de Malavella. Located in the north-eastern part of Spain near Barcelona, the resort was formerly known as PGA Catalunya. It will be the second course in Spain to host a Ryder Cup, which was played at Valderrama Golf Club in 1997. '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,' European Tour Group chief executive Guy Kinnings said in a statement. The resort's Stadium course has played host to a DP World Tour event three times, most recently in 2022, as well as having served as the site for the final stage of the tour's qualifying school from 2008-16, according to Golf Digest. It will also host the tour's Estrella Damm Catalunya Championship from 2028-30. Spain's Sergio Garcia is the all-time Ryder Cup points leader with 28 1/2, while countryman Jon Rahm has become one of the team's stars over the past three iterations of the event. The 2025 Ryder Cup will be contested in September at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, with Europe defending their 16 1/2-11 1/2 victory in Italy two years ago. The event will be held at Ireland's Adare Manor in 2027 followed by Hazeltine National in Chaska, Minnesota, in 2027. After Camiral, the Ryder Cup will return to San Francisco's Olympic Club in 2033.

It's official: 2031 Ryder Cup returning to Spain, to be held at Camiral near Barcelona
Many have wondered when the Ryder Cup would return to Spain after a thrilling match at Valderrama in 1997. We now have the official answer. It was officially announced on Tuesday that the 2031 Ryder Cup will be contested at Camiral in Costa Brava, outside of Barcelona. Spain will become the first country in continental Europe to host more than one Ryder Cup. Golfweek had previously reported (via other sources) that this would likely be the venue. Legendary Spaniard Seve Ballesteros captained the European squad to a 141⁄2 to 131⁄2 victory at Valderrama, with the Americans falling one point short of a comeback in Sunday Singles after trailing by five points coming into the final day. '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," Guy Kinnings, Chief Executive of the European Tour Group, said in a release. '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." Camiral, formerly known as PGA Catalunya, is ranked as Spain's top golf and wellness resort. It opened in 1999 and has hosted the DP World Tour's Open de España on three occasions, in 2000, 2009 and 2014, and the Catalunya Championship in 2022, as well as the Final Stage of the DP World Tour's Qualifying School for nine consecutive years from 2008-16.
