Plans to the 2031 Ryder Cup at Denis O’Brien’s Camiral Resort Golf & Wellness in Girona may be disrupted by a change in the Catalan government following the election of Salvador Illa’s socialist administration.
Despite previous agreements among stakeholders, concerns regarding budget approvals and the recent ldisappoingting on the America’s Cup yachting event have stalled progress on the Ryder Cup project.
The Catalan government will need to invest €30 million over seven years to potentially host the event, which promises significant economic benefits, including an estimated €1.3 billion in tourism-related income and thousands of jobs.
Catalan sports minister Álvarez has assured a definitive answer regarding the Ryder Cup by early 2025, but clarity on the government’s commitment remains a critical factor for moving forward.
