• Benchmark day for New York state course
• 2019 US PGA Championship also heading there
Bethpage Black will host the 2024 Ryder Cup, the PGA of America has confirmed. The course in New York state will also be the venue for the 2019 US PGA Championship having hosted the US Open in 2002 and 2009.
The Black course is a 7,486-yard, par 71 which will provide a stern test for players on both sides, with Tiger Woods being the only man in the field to shoot under par when he won the US Open there in 2002.
"How fitting it is that we will be taking two of golf's premier events to a state that was the site of our first PGA Championship and to a spectacular course whose design was influenced by one of golf's most accomplished architects and a friend of the PGA of America," said the PGA president Ted Bishop. "It is exciting that both the PGA Championship and the Ryder Cup will come to New York, which is home to some of the most passionate and knowledgeable sports fans in the world."
Europe will attempt to defend the Ryder Cup at Gleneagles in 2014 before the biennial event returns to the States at Hazeltine. France will then host its first Ryder Cup in 2018 at Le Golf National near Paris before Whistling Straits hosts the next tournament in the US. The 2022 course in Europe has yet to be decided.
