Ryder Cup history
🏆 Ryder Cup History: A Legacy of Passion, Pride, and Pressure
The Ryder Cup is one of golf’s most storied and emotionally charged events—a biennial team competition between the United States and Europe that transcends individual achievement and celebrates national pride, camaraderie, and match-play drama.
📜 Origins & Evolution

- Named After: English businessman Samuel Ryder, who donated the trophy
- Original Format: USA vs. Great Britain
- Expanded: In 1979, the European team began including players from continental Europe to increase competitiveness
💰 Ryder Cup Revenue: A Record-Breaking 2025 Edition
The 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black is expected to generate record-breaking revenue, driven by unprecedented demand, premium pricing, and global fan engagement.
📈 Estimated Revenue Highlights
- Ticket Revenue Alone: Expected to exceed $100 million, with general admission tickets priced at $750 and practice-round tickets starting at $250—both sold out.
- Corporate Hospitality: Limited inventory remains, with premium packages contributing significantly to overall earnings.
- Volunteer Program: Over 4,000 volunteers, each paying $350 for uniforms and meals, adding another layer of revenue.

This year’s event is not just a golf tournament—it’s a financial juggernaut. Want help turning this into a podcast segment or a LinkedIn post that blends sport and business strategy? I’d be glad to help.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
