Ryder Cup Europe Opens Bid Process To Countries Vying To Host 2022 Installment

Ryder Cup Europe on Monday announced the opening of the bidding process for countries wishing to host the 2022 Ryder Cup. This will be the second time such a process has been in place following the process that determined the '18 host. Then, the process drew bids from Germany, Holland, Portugal, Spain and eventual winner France, which was unveiled at a press conference at Wentworth Club in May '11. As with the '18 process, all bids must be channelled through national Golf Federations, Golfing Unions or Central Government, and only one bid per country will be accepted. Countries must officially advise the Ryder Cup Europe of their intention to submit a bid by Aug. 31, and finalized bid dossiers will be required by Feb. 16, 2015 (Ryder Cup).
