All the clubs and the Spanish golf federation are all backing Spain’s bid to hold the Ryder Cup in 2018, undoubtedly one of golf’s most important and prestigious tournaments.
Ryder Cup Europe confirmed that six countries – France, Germany, Holland, Portugal, Spain and Sweden, have all announced their intention to bid for The 2018 Ryder Cup. The winning host nation will be will be announced by April 2011.
There are many reasons why Madrid should host the 2018 Ryder Cup no to mention the normally excellent weather conditions during the month of September. Malaga born Gofling wizard Miguel Ángel Jiménez noted during a press conference at the Open de Andalucía in Málaga, “Madrid is the best option for the Ryder Cup, and I’m not just saying that because I’m Spanish. It’s the most southern-most city of all the candidates, and the weather is the key at that time of the year”
Of course every one knows that the last time the Ryder Cup was held in Spain, at the fantastic Valderrama Club in 1997 torrential rain on the eve of the tournament threatened its scheduled start. However due to Valderrama’s exceptional irrigation system it meant there were no delays and it became a enthralling contest superbly won by captain Severiano Ballesteros’s determined Europeans 14½ to 13½ against the Americans captained by another golfing great, Tom Kite.
