The CENTENNIALCELEBRATION of the
RYDER CUP Dear Worcester CC Members, The Centennial Celebration of the 1st Ryder Cup is less than a year away. As you know, the 1st was held here at our club! No other club can say, “We hosted the first Ryder Cup.” WCC formed a committee in 2021 to create this event and make it an extra special event to honor the history of this event and showcase the club and our rich history. The committee has been collaborating with Moortown Golf Club, the 2nd Ryder Cup sight in Great Britain, on creating an event template that future clubs can use to celebrate their centennial. All clubs worldwide that have hosted the Ryder Cup have been invited to attend and bring four players to compete in a Ryder Cup formatted event to be played over the historic links of Worcester CC. One club will take home the overall trophy, which will be competed for every two years. Past Ryder Cup Captains have been invited to play a Ryder Cup formatted exhibition at our club. The captains we have spoken to so far are excited about the event and the Centennial Celebration. More exciting details to come on this. The PGA of America and Ryder Cup Europe have joined in, and the event is gaining momentum! Here is an overview of the event: Sunday, June 6, 2027 Ryder Cup Host clubs arrive for practice rounds Cocktail Party for WCC Members, Host Club guests, Past Captains and PGA Guest Entertainment & Guest Speakers Monday, June 7 Ryder Cup Brunch Ryder Cup Golf Exhibition
Tuesday, June 8 Tournament Day 1 Wednesday, June 9 Tournament Final Day Awards and Farewell Dinner Entertainment & Speeches Thursday, June 10 Sponsor & Member Thank you golf event Sponsorship opportunities are available, contact Troy Sprister spristert@worcestercc.org for more information.
