Stats

Phil Mickelson has become a fixture of the U.S. Ryder Cup team.

Golf fans seem to remember everything about the Ryder Cup. We remember Langer's putt in 1991, the shirts in 1999 and the miraculous comeback in 2012.

The United States has won 26 Ryder Cup matches all-time, including the last completed event in 2016 at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota. All stats are through 2016.

We take a look back at some of our favourite images from America's victory on home soil at Valhalla Golf Club in 2008.

All records are through the 2016 Ryder Cup. You can get a .PDF of the 2018 Ryder Cup media guide here.
