The 30th Ryder Cup Matches were held in England at The Belfry in Wishaw, Warwickshire, near Sutton Coldfield. The United States team won a second consecutive Ryder Cup, by a margin of 15 to 13 points. Europe took a slender one point lead into the Sunday singles matches in what was a close contest. Davis Love III secured victory for the U.S. by defeating Costantino Rocca at the last hole, 1 up.[1] Through 2023, this is the most recent U.S. victory in Europe and also the last time the U.S. retained the Cup.

This was the first Ryder Cup played in Europe to be televised live in the United States by a major network, NBC. The 1989 edition was carried by the USA Network on cable, with video provided by the BBC.[2][3] The U.S. television coverage in 1985 was a highlight show on ESPN in early November, over a month after its completion.[4] NBC took over live weekend coverage in 1991 in South Carolina.[5]
