The Ryder Cup 1927-2014: A History of Golf’s Greatest Match

＂An authoritative, up-to-date chronicle.＂--GolfToday.com

Played every two years, originally between Great Britain and Ireland and the United States and, since 1979, between Europe and the United States, the Ryder Cup is golf’s greatest tournament.

Peter Pugh and Henry Lord present their colorful Cup history, telling stories that include the world’s most successful golfers--Sam Snead, Max Faulkner, Jack Nicklaus, Nick Faldo, and Seve Ballesteros.

With photographs including Tony Jacklin shaking hands with Nicklaus after the American had conceded a two-and-a half-foot putt to finalize a draw in 1969, the book is published just as 2014’s match at the beautiful Gleneagles draws to a close.

Peter Pugh was educated at Cambridge University, where he was a member of the golf team. He has written many books on golf and golf clubs as well as about 50 company histories, including The Magic of a Name, a three-volume history of Rolls-Royce.

Henry Lord is the co-author of the highly acclaimed golf course coffee-table books, all published by Icon, Creating Classics, Masters of Design and St Andrews, which includes a Foreword from the great Ryder Cup player and captain, Seve Ballesteros.
