Ryder Cup Format
Each of the first two days includes one four-match session of four-ball and one four-match session of foursomes. The final day is reserved for 12 singles matches.
Scoring
Each match is worth one point, with matches ending in a draw worth ½ point to each side. The first team to reach 14 ½ points wins the Ryder Cup. If the matches end in a 14-14 draw, the team holding the Ryder Cup retains it.

Paul Lawrie, the 1999 Open Champion and two-time Ryder Cup player, will captain Team Europe at The 2020 Junior Ryder Cup at Blue Mound Golf and Country Club in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, from September 21-22. The Scotsman, an eight-time European Tour winner, represented Europe at The 1999 Ryder Cup and was also a member of the ‘Miracle at Medinah’ team, which staged a monumental comeback on the final day to retain The Ryder Cup, winning 14 ½ - 13 ½ on American soil in 2012.
Points Update
Jon Rahm leapt to the top of the Ryder Cup Points List after his dream Dubai double – sealing his second DP World Tour Championship, Dubai title and becoming just the second Spaniard – after his hero Seve Ballesteros – to be crowned European Number One. The records kept tumbling for the 25-year-old as he topped the season long Race to Dubai Rankings Presented by Rolex with his third win of the season and his six European Tour victory in just his 40th start – the fastest player to that mark.
