Four English courses have hosted multiple Ryder Cups: The Belfry (1985, 1989, 1993, 2002); Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf Club (1961, 1977); Royal Birkdale Golf Club (1965, 1969) and Southport and Ainsdale Golf Club (1933, 1937).

Hazeltine has also twice hosted the U.S. Open (1970, 1991), PGA Championship (2002, 2009) and U.S. Women's Open (1966, 1977).

This year's Ryder Cup will be stage in France at Le Golf National outside Paris from Sept. 28-30.
