The Ryder Cup is a biennial men's golf competition between teams from Europe and the United States. It is one of the most anticipated events in the world of golf, known for its intense rivalry and thrilling finishes.
History of the Ryder Cup
The Ryder Cup originated in 1927, named after the English businessman Samuel Ryder who donated the trophy. The initial matches were between Great Britain and the United States. In 1979, the Great Britain and Ireland team expanded to include continental Europe, forming the current European team.
Format of the Competition
The Ryder Cup is played over three days, with a total of 28 matches.

How many of you could tell me what the best-selling car was in 2024?
According to sales data from JATO Dynamics, the Toyota Rav4 topped the charts, and I’ve got a theory as to why.
Function. The Rav4 isn’t flashy. It’s never been mistaken for a Ferrari or a Porsche. Surely there are better-looking mid-size SUVs out there.
But it’s got everything you need. And that’s more than enough.
That attitude is one, among others, that inspired the relaunch of adidas EQT Golf line.
Most golfers, including those at Ruth Park in St. Louis, don't play the game for a living. They play for community and camaraderie.

Now that all of our iron testing is complete, we can compare every iron we tested this year and get a good feel for which ones are the best. Not every golfer fits exactly into a category so if you’re someone who could play game-improvement or player’s distance, this is a good way to look at all of our best values from 2025. Here are the best “bang for your buck” golf irons of 2025.
Tommy Armour 845+
The Tommy Armour 845+ earned our best value award in the Super Game-Improvement test, while also topping categories for forgiveness and accuracy. Testers consistently praised how easy these irons were to hit straight and keep in play.
The tradeoff is distance. Several testers noted they weren’t getting the same ball speed or carry numbers compared to longer-hitting irons. At just under $500, it’s hard to argue against the performance-to-price ratio if your priority is keeping the ball in play.
Who should buy: Golfers who want forgiveness and accuracy at the lowest possible price and don’t mind giving up some distance.
Tour Edge Hot Launch E525
The Tour Edge Hot Launch E525 showed why Tour Edge has built a reputation for value. With a strong showing in the super game-improvement category (scoring an 8.5 overall) and a price that starts at just over $600, this iron is a good choice for affordable performance.
What is the single worst rule in the game of golf?
We’ve been asking our readers this, and the top reply so far is that golfers deserve relief from fairway divots. Look, I get it. You pipe one right down the middle, it ends up in a divot. It is the most maddening feeling in the game. However, this rule exists for a reason, and I will die on this incredibly small hill.
It should stand. Where would you draw the line for what constitutes a divot? Every lie in golf is different, even in the fairway. And if your response to that i,s you just know when you see it. I’m not sure the USGA can write into the rule book. Just go off vibes.
If your other response is, “Hey, just make it an automatic lift, clean in place every single time you’re in the fairway.” Is that really golf or do you just wanna be playing on a simulator?
At a certain point, you have to just adjust and react for the situation. That’s a part of the challenge of playing golf. If you’re just playing for fun and you want a perfect lie, every single time you’re in the fairway, look, go ahead. I, and I cannot stress this enough, do not care.
Every golfer has that one piece of advice that sticks. It might not come from a famous coach or a big-name YouTube star. It may have been something you learned from watching golf or that your grandfather told you when you were a kid.
When I posed the question on the MyGolfSpy Forum, I admitted that one of the most helpful tips for me was learning to load my weight on the inside of the trail foot during the backswing. For years, I never gave much thought to the difference between the inside and outside of my foot but once I adjusted, my balance and ball-striking completely changed.
The Forum’s advice was once again too good not to share. I organized it into a few categories so you’ll have no problem finding a great tip to take with you.
1. Visualization and mental cues
One of the recurring themes was the power of visualization. Golfers shared tips about shifting your mindset, such as swinging through the ball instead of hitting at it or picking an intermediate target to guide the swing path.
Visualization removes tension and clutter, making it possible to move past mechanics. Instead of forcing positions, you give your brain a clear picture of what you want the swing to feel like.
