Bidding for the 2018 Ryder Cup
Ryder Cup Europe confirmed originally six countries – France, Germany, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Sweden – to be interested in bidding for the 2018 Ryder Cup.[1] The deadline for the submission of bids was set for 30 April 2010; Sweden withdrew from the bidding early that month,[2] while the Spanish bidding host city of Tres Cantos showed poor popular support.[3][4]
There were five bids to host the event:
- France: Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines | French bid website / French golf federation bid press kit
- Germany: Neuburg/Rohrenfeld
- Portugal: Lisbon/Comporta, Alentejo Coast
- Spain: Madrid/Guadarrama
- Netherlands: Rotterdam/Lingewaal
France were announced as hosts on 17 May 2011, despite calls for the Cup to be held in Spain, as a tribute to the late Seve Ballesteros.[5]
