Anticipation is already mounting for the 46th Ryder Cup, set for 17–19 September 2027 at the prestigious Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland — the first time the event returns to Ireland since 2006.

A Historic Centenary

The 2027 edition is historic, marking the 100th anniversary of the Ryder Cup, first staged in 1927.

Adare Manor is considered one of Ireland’s premier golf venues. Redesigned by Tom Fazio in 2016, it features a SubAir system beneath every green. Its immaculate surfaces and strategic run-offs draw comparisons to Augusta National, rewarding precision and creativity.
