The Ryder Cup is the biennial golf competition held between the two teams from the United States and Europe. Both teams are compiled of professional male golfers and the coveted trophy is up for grabs in 2014. The Ryder Cup this year will start on 26th September through 28th September and will take place at the Gleneagles Golf Course, home of the Ryder Cup. 

As an important part of the history and heritage of the Ryder Cup, an exhibition of photos, memorabilia and artefacts are going to be available for public viewing from June 3rd 2014 through 14th September 2014 at the Perth Museum and Art Gallery.  

What’s on View?

The Ryder Cup Heritage Exhibition tells the story of the Ryder Cup and how it came into being. The history revolves around the very first tournament and how it was organized. It will show photographs from some of the early and some of the most historic tournaments, documents, and player memorabilia. It’s an exhibition that shouldn’t be missed and anyone who loves the great game should make the special effort to head over to see it. 

Where to Stay

The Murraypark Hotel is going to be welcoming guests from all over the world to watch the Ryder Cup on our TV’s, as well as many who will be using our hotel as base because they will be visiting the Gleneagles venue to watch in person. If you don’t already have a booking with us, you might want to get that sorted out quickly so that you don’t miss out. 

It has been eighty-eight years since the first Ryder Cup and that was held at Gleneagles, so it is very much like the Ryder Cup is coming home. Europe will of course be well placed to retain the cup but a hardy American team will be very much intent on winning it back after a long absence. The Exhibition is available for everyone who has an interest, so come along and see it for yourself.
