More than 270,000 people attended last September’s contest at Le Golf National to see Europe defeat the United States 17½-10½ as France hosted The Ryder Cup for the first time. It was only the second time the biennial contest had been played in continental Europe after Valderrama, Spain, in 1997 and the economic benefits to the host country have been outlined in a report compiled by researchers from Sheffield Hallam University's Sport Industry Research Centre.
