The 42nd Ryder Cup Matches were held in France from 28 to 30 September 2018 on the Albatros Course of Le Golf National in Guyancourt, a suburb southwest of Paris. It was the second Ryder Cup to be held in Continental Europe (rather than Great Britain or Ireland), after the 1997 contest, which was held in Spain. The United States were the defending champions, but had lost the last five matches in Europe, having last won there in 1993. Europe regained the Ryder Cup, winning by 171⁄2 points to 101⁄2.
The Ryder Cup is a match play event, with each match worth one point. The competition format was as follows:
On the first two days there were four fourball matches in the morning and four foursome matches in the afternoon.
With a total of 28 points available, 141⁄2 points were required to win the Cup, and 14 points were required for the defending champion, the United States, to retain the Cup. All matches were played to a maximum of 18 holes. [1]
Ryder Cup Europe confirmed originally six countries—France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden—to be interested in bidding for the 2018 Ryder Cup. [2] The deadline for the submission of bids was set for 30 April 2010; Sweden withdrew from the bidding early that month, [3] while the Spanish bidding host city of Tres Cantos showed poor popular support. [4] [5]
There were five bids to host the event:
France was announced as host on 17 May 2011, despite calls for the Cup to be held in Spain as a tribute to the late Seve Ballesteros. [8]

The European team qualification rules were announced on 18 January 2017. There were a number of changes compared to 2016 with an increase in the number of captain's picks from three to four, based on recommendations from the analytics team behind Team Europe. [9] The team consisted of: [10] [11]
Membership criteria for the European Tour were reduced from five tournaments to four (outside the majors and WGCs) for the 2018 season. As in previous Ryder Cups, all players had to be members of the European Tour to be eligible to play for Europe. Changes were also made to the eligibility of future captains and vice-captains.
Paul Casey became a member of the European Tour at the start of 2018. Since he was not a member during 2017 he did not earn points until the start of 2018. [12]
The leading players in the European Ryder Cup points lists were: [13] [14]

The remaining three players selected as captain's picks, Ian Poulter, Sergio García and Paul Casey, finished in 22nd, 24th and 35th place respectively on the European points list. [13]
The United States qualification rules were announced on 8 February 2017. [15] The majority of the team were selected from the Ryder Cup points list which was based on prize money won in important tournaments. Generally one point was awarded for every $1,000 earned. The team consisted of:
The qualification rules were similar to those used for the 2016 Ryder Cup. The points given for the 2018 season major championships were reduced from double to 50% extra (except for the winner who still received double points). The dates on which the captain's picks were made were brought forward by one or two weeks.
The leading 15 players in the final points list after the final qualifying event, the 2018 PGA Championship were: [16]

Thomas Bjørn was named as the European captain on 6 December 2016. He was chosen by a five-man panel made up of the three most recent European Ryder Cup captains (Darren Clarke, Paul McGinley and José María Olazábal), the Chief Executive of the European Tour, Keith Pelley, and European Tour Tournament Committee member Henrik Stenson. [17]
Jim Furyk was named as the USA captain on 11 January 2017. [18]
Each captain selected a number of vice-captains to assist him during the tournament.
Bjørn selected Robert Karlsson as his first vice-captain in May 2017. [19] In May 2018 he selected four more vice-captains: Luke Donald, Pádraig Harrington, Graeme McDowell and Lee Westwood. Raphaël Jacquelin was also on hand for the Europeans, as an assistant.
Furyk named Davis Love III as a vice-captain, soon after his appointment in January 2017. He later added Steve Stricker and Tiger Woods in February 2018. [20]
On 4 September 2018, Furyk named David Duval, Zach Johnson, and Matt Kuchar as additional vice-captains. Tiger Woods, who had previously been named a vice-captain, would no longer serve in this position as he was chosen to be one of Furyk's captain's picks. [21]
Thomas Bjørn announced the four captain's picks at 2 pm BST on 5 September. Captain's picks are shown in yellow. The world rankings and records were at the start of the 2018 Ryder Cup. [22]

The United States put their best players at the top of the card on Sunday, and despite the four point deficit threatened a comeback in the singles, as they won 31⁄2 points from the first four matches. Justin Thomas beat Rory McIlroy on the final hole as the latter's approach found the water, and Tony Finau defeated the previously unbeaten Tommy Fleetwood 6 & 4. [32] However, from then on Europe dominated, winning the next six matches to lead 161⁄2–91⁄2. Guarantees of at least a half-point each for García and Stenson (both of whom later got full points) meant that victory was already assured before the 141⁄2-point winning post was officially reached when Phil Mickelson, already three holes down, found the water on the 16th hole and conceded the hole and match to Molinari, who became the first player for Europe to score what is now the maximum possible five points in a single Ryder Cup. [33] [n 1] Of the remaining two matches, one was won by the U.S. team and one by Europe, the last match decided with a long putt on the 18th green by Alex Norén for Europe, leaving the final score 171⁄2–101⁄2 to Europe. [32] Sergio García's singles win made him the all-time Ryder Cup points leader, with 251⁄2 points in nine appearances, overtaking Nick Faldo's 25 points in 11 appearances. [34] [n 2] [38]

His overall record is now 13-21-3, giving him the second-most losses in American team history – behind Phil Mickelson, who lost both of his matches this week and has now lost 22 times.
