The Ryder Cup began in 1927, originally as a competition between the United States and the UK and Ireland. But the Americans dominated, and Jack Nicklaus was part of expanding the overseas team to include all of Europe that began in 1979 and changed the tournament forever.
The change brought legends like Seve Ballesteros, Bernhard Langer and Sandy Lyle, and Europe became a legitimate strength. Since the expansion, there have been 22 Ryder Cups, and Europe has a 12-9-1 record during that time-and it includes the United States that won the first three Ryder cups since the European expansion.
