Girona, Spain – The 2031 Ryder Cup is set to take place in Spain at the Camiral Golf and Wellness Resort in Girona, as confirmed by Ramon Nogué, president of the Catalan Golf Federation. The official announcement regarding Girona as the host city is expected next week. This will mark the second time Spain has hosted the prestigious golf tournament, which first occurred in 1997 at Valderrama Golf Club in Andalusia.
The Camiral Golf and Wellness Resort, formerly known as PGA Catalunya, has been selected as the venue for the event. The decision to host the Ryder Cup at Camiral was first reported by a Spanish newspaper. The resort is well-regarded in the golfing community, having previously hosted European Tour events, including the Spanish Open.
Spain has a rich history with the Ryder Cup, particularly with notable figures such as Seve Ballesteros, José María Olazábal, and Sergio García being closely associated with the sport. The 1997 Ryder Cup set a significant precedent, as it was the first time the tournament took place in continental Europe, where the European team emerged victorious with a narrow 14½ to 13½ win over the United States.
Owned by Irish businessman Denis O’Brien since 2008, the Camiral Golf and Wellness Resort has undergone extensive renovations with millions invested in enhancements to the course and the surrounding facilities. Today, the Camiral Golf course is recognized as the third-best course in Spain according to the Golf Digest Best Courses rankings, positioning it as an exemplary choice for the Ryder Cup event.
The Ryder Cup is a biennial event, and the American edition of the tournament is scheduled to take place at Bethpage Black in New York this coming September. Following the highly anticipated 2027 Ryder Cup in Ireland at Adare Manor, future Ryder Cups are planned for Hazeltine National in Minnesota in 2029 and the Olympic Club in San Francisco in 2033. Updates regarding additional future Ryder Cups are expected to be released by Ryder Cup Europe in due course.
The selection of Girona and the Camiral Golf and Wellness Resort for the 2031 Ryder Cup underscores Spain’s commitment to showcasing its golfing heritage and ability to host significant international events. The excitement surrounding this event is palpable among both fans and players alike, as the stage is set for another memorable chapter in Ryder Cup history.
