Spain will host the Ryder Cup again in 2031, returning the tournament to the country for the first time since Valderrama staged the event 34 years ago, in 1997.

According to La Vanguardia and as confirmed by this newspaper, the Camiral Resort Golf & Wellness in Caldes de Malavella, Girona, has been selected, around an hour’s drive from Barcelona.

Talks had stalled due to political disputes and changes in the Catalan government, but an agreement has now been reached and the announcement is expected this Tuesday, 22 July.

The total investment is expected to be around 140 million euros, with the Catalan government contributing around 40 million.

Critics, including local groups and the CUP, warn of environmental impact, but the club, owned by Irish businessman Denis O’Brien, insists it uses only reclaimed water.
