Ramon Nogu\u00e9, president of the Catalan golf federation, told the AP by phone Friday that \u201cnext week it will be official\u201d that Girona will be announced as the host of the golfing event between the best male players of Europe and the United States.<\/p>\n
The choice of Girona\u2019s Camiral Golf course was first reported by Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.<\/p>\n
\u201cAny announcement in relation to future editions of the Ryder Cup will be made in due course,\u201d Ryder Cup Europe said.<\/p>\n
The Camiral resort, which was previously called PGA Catalunya, has hosted European Tour events and the Spanish Open.<\/p>\n
It has been owned by Irish businessman Denis O\u2019Brien since 2008. Irish media have reported that O\u2019Brien has invested tens of millions of euros in upgrades to the courses and the hotel, as well as accommodation on the property.<\/p>\n
