The Ryder Cup 1927-2014: A History of Golf's Greatest Match

"An authoritative, up-to-date chronicle."—GolfToday.com

Played every two years, originally between Great Britain and Ireland and the United States and, since 1979, between Europe and the United States, the Ryder Cup is golf's greatest tournament.

Peter Pugh and Henry Lord present their colorful Cup history, telling stories that include the world's most successful golfers—Sam Snead, Max Faulkner, Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Seve Ballesteros.

With photographs including Tony Jacklin shaking hands with Nicklaus after the American had conceded a two-and-a half-foot putt to finalize a draw in 1969, the book is published just as 2014's match at the beautiful Gleneagles draws to a close.
