Barcelona, Spain — The 2031 Ryder Cup will be held in northeastern Spain.
Ramon Nogué, president of the Catalan golf federation, announced that Girona will be the host of the golfing event between the best male players of Europe and the United States.
“Today’s announcement not only recognizes 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,” said Guy Kinnings, chief executive of the European Tour Group.
The Camiral resort, which was previously called PGA Catalunya, has hosted European Tour events and the Spanish Open.
It has been owned by Irish businessman Denis O’Brien since 2008. Irish media have reported that O’Brien has invested tens of millions of euros in upgrades to the courses and the hotel, as well as accommodation on the property.
This will be the second time for Spain to host the Cup after Valderrama in 1997, and just the fourth time it will be played in continental Europe after Le Golf National outside Paris in 2018 and Marco Simone outside Rome in 2023.
The Ryder Cup is closely tied to Spain because of European team stalwarts Seve Ballesteros, José María Olazábal, and Sergio García.
This year’s Ryder Cup will be held at Bethpage Black in New York in September. The next one staged in Europe is in 2027 at Adare Manor in Ireland.
