The Ryder Cup has been held since 1927 and the 45th edition will take place Sept. 27-29 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York.

Europe is the defending champion, having won in Italy in 2023, 16 1/2 to 11 1/2.

The matches have undergone changes throughout the years. It began as the U.S. vs. Great Britain, but then involved Ireland, from 1973-77. For the ’79 matches, all from continental Europe were eligible to compete for Team Europe.

The biennial competition was not contested from 1939-45, because of World War II. The 2001 matches were postponed to ’02, because of the 9/11 attacks in the U.S. And the 2020 edition was moved to ’21, because of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Here are the winners from the first 44 cups:
