What is the largest margin of team victory in Ryder Cup history?
The U.S. won the 1967 Ryder Cup by 15 points, 23½-8½, but that was in the 32-point era. Now, the total number of points available is 28, a change that was made for the 1979 matches when the Great Britain & Ireland team was expanded to include all of Europe.
In the modern era, the U.S. Team’s 19-9 win in 2021 at Whistling Straits is the record for margin of victory.
