Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota is to become the first American golf club to host two Ryder Cups, after it was chosen by the PGA of America to stage the 47th renewal in 2028.
The site of the US Ryder team’s 17-11 victory in 2016 will become the first American venue to host a second Ryder Cup. Four English courses – The Belfry, Royal Lytham & St Annes, Royal Birkdale, and Southport & Ainsdale – have hosted multiple Ryder Cups.
Officials from the PGA of America and Hazeltine will gather on April 10 in Chaska to discuss the return of the Ryder Cup, which comes little more than 18 months after the completion of the 2016 event.
Designed by Robert Trent Jones in 1962, and enhanced by his son, Rees Jones, in 2002 and 2005, Hazeltine National takes its name from nearby Lake Hazeltine. The par-72 layout blends the rolling hills, lakes, mature woods and prairies of the Upper Midwest and is consistently ranked amongst America’s 100 Greatest Golf Courses.
Hazeltine began its tradition of hosting major championships more than 50 years ago. Beyond the most recent Ryder Cup, it has hosted the U.S. Women’s Open (1966, ’77), the U.S. Open (1970, ’91), the U.S. Senior Open (1983) and the PGA Championship (2002, ’09).
Hazeltine is also scheduled to host its third women’s major championship, the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship in 2019.
