Expand [+]

Join us in South Wales for the 38th Ryder Cup Tournament as the might of the US pitches itself against the best of Europe for the ultimate New World versus Old World golf tournament. Watch the Saturday Foursome Matches and Four Ball Matches, take in the Final Day singles matches, choose from exclusive access to the VIP hospitality facilities and celebrate victory at the closing ceremony, before reliving the highlights over a nightcap and cigar.
Imagine standing on the grounds of the Celtic manor resort, as US captain Corey Pavin faces off against Europe’s captain Colin Montgomery at the 2010 Ryder Cup. The Twenty Ten Course at The Celtic Manor Resort in South Wales has been specifically designed to stage The 2010 Ryder Cup. Water hazards dominate half of the holes and players must overcome the links-like feel of the earlier holes before the lake-lined challenge of the mid-section with the course culminating in a slight right to left dog-leg on a downhill finish on the 18th!
