Ryder Cup 2002

The Programme From The 2001 Matches.


The 33rd Ryder Cup Matches were held between September 27 and September 29, 2002, on the Brabazon Course at The Belfry in Sutton Coldfield, England.
The European team won the competition by a margin of 15½ – 12½, the largest margin of victory since the European team won 16½ – 11½ in 1985, also played at The Belfry.
The event was originally scheduled for September 28 - 30, 2001, but was postponed one year due to the September 11, 2001 attacks. It was also decided to thereafter play matches in even-numbered years instead of odd-numbered, pushing the already-scheduled 2003 and 2005 editions to 2004 and 2006 respectively. This in turn caused a corresponding change in schedules for the Presidents Cup and Solheim Cup (both of which are played in years the Ryder Cup is not played). The Presidents Cup was also delayed by a year, while the Solheim Cup played their 2002 match as scheduled but then started playing in odd-numbered years in 2003. The first official Junior Ryder Cup, which was also scheduled for 2001, was also postponed
