The Ryder Cup Returns to Hazeltine in 2028

National

2028 marks the first time that the Ryder Cup Matches will revisit a championship site on U.S. Soil.

PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. (March 26, 2018) -The PGA  of  America announced today, with a sweeping social-media assist  from the  gold medal-winning U.S. Men's Curling Team, that Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota will host the 47th Ryder Cup  in 2028.

Hazeltine-- site of the  U.S. Ryder Cup  Team's 17-11 victory in 2016  --will become the  first American venue to host a second Ryder Cup.  Four English courses have  hosted multiple Ryder Cups: The Belfry (1985, '89, '93, 2002); Royal Lytham & St. Annes Golf  Club (1961, '77); Royal Birkdale Golf  Club (1965, '69) and  Southport and Ainsdale Golf  Club (1933, '37).

Four members of 2018 U.S. Curling team- skip John Shuster, vice skip Tyler George, second Matt Hamilton, and  lead John Landsteiner- participated in the  30-second video spot, which blended equipment, athletic postures and  traditions usually reserved for  either golf or curling.

The  video was  posted this  morning on RyderCup.com, Twitter and  lnstagram, and  culminates with the  U.S. Curling Team sending a curling stone gliding down the  ice  ("sheet") to the  red circular target ("house"), where the iconic Ryder Cup  Trophy is waiting to symbolically declare the Ryder Cup's return to Minnesota in 2028.

Last  month in South Korea, the  Men's Curling Team captured America's first Olympic gold medal in the  history of the  sport.

Officials from the  PGA  of  America and  Hazeltine will gather on AprillO 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 Golf  Club 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, June 18-23, 2019.
