The 2022 Ryder Cup will be held in Italy

The 2022 Ryder Cup will be held at Marco Simone course in Rome, Italy.

The golf event, which is held every two years, has only been held outside of England five times when Europe have hosted since it's inception in 1927.

That includes a European victory in the K Club, Straffan, Co. Kildare in 2006. The other European golf courses outside of England have been Muirfield (1973) and Gleneagles (2014) in Scotland, Spain (1997) and Wales (2010).

It will be held in Minnesota next year before returning to Europe and to France in 2018.

Italy defeated Austria, Germany and Spain in the bidding process.

European Tour chief executive Keith Pelley said: "History has shown time and again that the Ryder Cup is pure theatre with the players the stars.

"There is no question that the Eternal City of Rome will provide a wonderful backdrop for one of the great occasions in world golf.

"We have exciting plans for the development of The European Tour and our international schedule for the benefit of all our players, and Italy shares this ambition.

"Their commitment to the Italian Open will provide an inspiring benchmark."
