This was the second Ryder Cup held in Scotland; it was previously at Muirfield in 1973. The team captains in 2014 were Paul McGinley for Europe and Tom Watson for the USA. Europe were the defending cup holders, having won in 2012 at Medinah Country Club near Chicago. Europe won the 2014 competition to retain the Ryder Cup, defeating the US by 16 points to 11, for their third consecutive win. From 1995 to 2014, Europe won eight out of ten Ryder Cups.History https://www.rydercup.com/history/era-4 2021-09-27 Ryder CupRyder Cup 2014: Europe's winning masterclass https://www.scotsman.com/sport/golf/ryder-cup-2014-europes-winning-masterclass-1525010 2021-09-27 The ScotsmanGillis Richard 2015-09-18 Ryder Cup's Team USA seek formula for return to winning ways golf Financial Times https://www.ft.com/content/03ea2ffe-c682-11e4-a13d-00144feab7de 2021-09-27 Format Ryder Cup The Ryder Cup is a match play event, with each match worth one point. The competition format was as follows: Day 1 (Friday) – 4 fourball (better ball) matches in the morning, followed by 4 foursome (alternate shot) matches in the afternoon Day 2 (Saturday) – 4 fourball matches in the morning, followed by 4 foursome matches in the afternoon Day 3 (Sunday) – 12 singles matches On the Monday before the competition, European captain Paul McGinley announced that he had chosen to play fourball matches in the mornings, as had been the case for every European home captain since 1997 (while American home captains have chosen to play foursomes in the mornings every year except for 2004). With a total of 28 points available, 14 points were required for the US to win the Ryder Cup, and 14 points were required for Europe to retain it. All matches were played to a maximum of 18 holes. If a match was level after 18 holes each side was awarded half a point. Course Gleneagles Hotel thumb|260px|Gleneagles Hotel and grounds in 2004 The Gleneagles Hotel, located one hour outside of Edinburgh and set in grounds of 850 acre ha sqmi, had undergone a major redevelopment programme, partly in preparation for the 2014 Ryder Cup. The PGA Centenary Course, designed by Jack Nicklaus and one of three at Gleneagles, currently measures 7262 yd off the championship tees.http://www.gleneagles.com/media/392272/pga_centenary_scorecard4.pdf Gleneagles Hotel PGA Centenary Course Score Card 1 October 2012 https://web.archive.org/web/20120907170127/http://www.gleneagles.com/media/392272/pga_centenary_scorecard4.pdf 7 September 2012 dead dmy-all The course was awarded the Ryder Cup in 2001, and it was originally scheduled to host the matches in 2013, however this was delayed a year due to the alteration of the Ryder Cup schedule after the September 11 attacks in 2001. This was the final Ryder Cup to be affected by the rescheduling, as it was the furthest scheduled match at the time of the attacks. Just as the 2012 matches had been, all future matches are regularly scheduled for even-numbered years.

Coverage in South Africa was provided on the Supersport channels. In the US, corporate siblings Golf Channel and NBC televised the event live, after NBC had traded for complete rights (that it was contractually given the rights to in 2005) back from ESPN, who had televised the previous three Ryder Cups on Friday. Golf Channel televised action on Friday and a half-hour on Saturday, from where NBC took over for the rest of the weekend. In the early-morning sessions, Terry Gannon hosted from the 18th tower alongside Frank Nobilo. Curt Byrum and Tom Abbott served as hole announcers and Jerry Foltz was an on-course commentator. Nick Faldo appeared as a guest commentator on Friday, and sparked controversy after critical comments about Sergio García. For the afternoon sessions and the singles matches on Sunday, the regular NBC golf crew provided coverage. Dan Hicks and Johnny Miller hosted from the 18th tower, with Gary Koch and Peter Jacobsen as hole announcers. On course commentators were Mark Rolfing, Roger Maltbie and Notah Begay III. On the weekend, Colin Montgomerie appeared as a guest commentator to lend a European perspective, a role he previously filled for NBC in 2012.

In the European points list, Donaldson had overtaken García by winning the penultimate qualifying event (the D+D Real Czech Masters) and since neither García nor Bjørn played in the final event (the Italian Open) and since no other player could pass Donaldson, he was assured of his place before the Italian Open. The leading four players in the World points list (García, Rose, Kaymer and Bjørn) had qualified before the final event (the Italian Open). Stephen Gallacher was then 11.21 points behind Graeme McDowell. The winner of the Italian Open would score 24 points with second place scoring 14.4 and third 9.6. Gallacher therefore needed to either win the Italian Open, finish second alone or finish second jointly with just one other player (scoring 12 points) to overtake McDowell and move into the final automatic qualification spot. In the final round he scored 65 but David Howell (playing in the group before) had scored 63 to take second place by a single shot, pushing Gallacher down to third place. United States The United States qualification rules were announced on 20 March 2013. They remained the same as for 2012 except that the number of captain's picks was reduced from four to three.

One point is awarded for every $1,000 earned. Money earned in 2014 majors count double and money earned in 2014 alternate events (those played opposite the majors or World Golf Championships) count half. Three captain's picks The captain's picks were announced on 2 September 2014 following the conclusion of the Italian Open and Deutsche Bank Championship. Watson selected Keegan Bradley, Hunter Mahan, and Webb Simpson. Players in the qualifying places are shown in green, and captain's picks are shown in yellow. In late July Dustin Johnson announced that he was taking a leave of absence from golf and would miss the Ryder Cup. The qualifying places were therefore extended to the player finishing in 10th place in the points list. Mickelson's second-place finish in the 2014 PGA Championship lifted him from 11th to 5th place in the standings. Zach Johnson made the cut in the PGA Championship and this was sufficient to lift him above Jason Dufner and give him the last automatic place despite a last round of 77 which left him in a tie for 70th place and 35.8 points. Dufner withdrew from the event because of a neck injury.
