France has been confirmed as the host nation for the 2018 Ryder Cup at a press conference at Wentworth Club in Surrey.

Le Golf National, on the outskirts of Versailles, is only the second continental European venue to host the team competition, following in the footsteps of Club de Golf in Valderrama, Spain in 1997.

Europe’s Ryder Cup director Richard Hills said: “We would like to congratulate France on becoming the host for The 2018 Ryder Cup, but more importantly, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to all the representatives of France, Germany, Holland, Portugal and Spain, who responded so diligently to Ryder Cup Europe’s bidding criteria and conducted themselves in a thoroughly professional manner throughout the most detailed evaluation process as we have ever embarked upon.

“At the outset, we gave the process the codename ‘Operational Level Playing Field’ and identified three key individuals in Michael Payne, Jaime Byrom and Nick Bitel, each of whom is highly respected in the business and sporting worlds.

“They brought their own unique brand of expertise to the table and we thank them for helping the Bid Committee identify the correct nation to host this prestigious match.”

He added: “We have one worthy gold medallist in France, who gave us the confidence to believe that they will stage a truly memorable Ryder Cup in seven years’ time.

“However, there are four impressive silver medallists involved in this extremely detailed process in Germany, Holland, Portugal and Spain, any of whom were also well positioned to host the 2018 event.

“France, as the successful nation, will now be entering into a multi-faceted relationship with Ryder Cup Europe, lasting a minimum of 12 years and benefiting many aspects of golf at all levels.

“All of us at Ryder Cup Europe look forward to working closely with the French Ryder Cup 2018 team in the coming years.”
