Europe entered the competition as the cup holders, having won in [[2014 Ryder Cup\|2014]] in [[Scotland]] for their third consecutive win. The United States won for the first time since [[2008 Ryder Cup\|2008]] at [[Valhalla Golf Club\|Valhalla]], and featured the most lopsided American victory since a 9-point win in [[1981 Ryder Cup\|1981]] at [[Walton Heath Golf Club\|Walton Heath]]. As in 2008, the U.S. never trailed during the tournament. [[Ryan Moore (golfer)\|Ryan Moore]] defeated [[Lee Westwood]] by 1 hole to reclaim the Cup with three matches still in progress. Captain [[Davis Love III]] dedicated the win to [[Arnold Palmer]], who had died ~~earlier~~five indays before the ~~week~~competition at the age of 87 while awaiting heart surgery. A bag from Palmer's captaincy in ~~the~~ [[1975 Ryder Cup\|1975 ~~Cup~~]] at Laurel Valley was placed on the first tee during Friday's opening foursomes to honor "The King", and Team USA also swept the opening foursomes on Friday morning for the first time since 1975 ~~when Palmer had been captain~~. Two days after the matches, the majority of Team USA attended Palmer's public memorial at [[Saint Vincent College]] in his hometown of [[Latrobe, Pennsylvania]], and brought the trophy at the request of Palmer's daughter Amy.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.cbssports.com/golf/news/look-rickie-fowler-takes-ryder-cup-trophy-to-arnold-palmers-memorial/ \|title=Rickie Fowler takes Ryder Cup trophy to Arnold Palmer's memorial \|first=Kyle \|last=Porter \|work=[[CBS Sports]]\|date=October 4, 2016 }}</ref> Palmer had also had a video tribute at the opening ceremony and tributes in remarks from both captains (Love and [[Darren Clarke]]) and both honorary captains ([[Jack Nicklaus]] and [[Tony Jacklin]]). ==Format== Line 52 ⟶ 53: On the first two days there are 4 foursome matches and 4 fourball matches with the home captain choosing which are played in the morning and which in the afternoon.

All matches are played to a maximum of 18 holes according to the current [[~~Ryder_Cup~~Ryder Cup#Format\|format]]. ==Course== Line 71 ⟶ 72: ==Television== The 2016 Ryder Cup was televised in the United States by [[Golf Channel]] and [[Golf Channel on NBC\|NBC]], which planned to provide 170 hours of coverage. In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the event was broadcast by [[Sky Sports]]; the broadcaster re-branded its Sky Sports 4 channel as Sky Sports Ryder Cup for the week of the event, and planned to broadcast 240 hours of coverage.<ref>{{cite news\|last1=Justin\|first1=Neil\|title=TV viewers worldwide will have their eyes on Minnesota as Ryder Cup tees off\|url=http://www.startribune.com/a-half-billion-people-will-have-their-eyes-on-minnesota-as-ryder-cup-tees-off/395017041/#1\|~~accessdate~~access-date=October 2, 2016 \|newspaper=Minneapolis Star Tribune \|date=September 27, 2016}}</ref> ==Task Force== Following the European victory in the [[2014 Ryder Cup]], the [[PGA of America]] created a "Ryder Cup Task Force". The Task Force consisted of three PGA officials and eight players with Ryder Cup experience. There were three previous Ryder Cup captains: [[Raymond Floyd]], [[Tom Lehman]] and [[Davis Love III]] together with [[Rickie Fowler]], [[Jim Furyk]], [[Phil Mickelson]], [[Steve Stricker]] and [[Tiger Woods]]. The Task Force considered a number of issues including the selection of the Ryder Cup captain and vice-captains and the team selection process.<ref>{{cite web \|url=http://www.rydercup.com/usa/news/pga-america-creates-ryder-cup-task-force-chart-course-future-us-teams \|title=PGA of America creates Ryder Cup task force to chart course for future U.S. teams \|publisher=Ryder Cup \|date=October 13, 2014 \|access-date=February 26, 2015 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226113105/http://www.rydercup.com/usa/news/pga-america-creates-ryder-cup-task-force-chart-course-future-us-teams \|archive-date=February 26, 2015 \|url-status=dead }}</ref> The conclusions of the Task Force were announced on February 24, 2015, with the announcement of a number of changes for the 2016 contest. [[Davis Love III]] was selected as the captain, while new criteria were specified for the selection of vice-captains. In addition a number of changes were made to the team selection process for 2016. The 11-man Task Force was disbanded after the announcement and replaced with a smaller 6-man "Ryder Cup Committee" which included Love, Mickelson and Woods.<ref name=tfa>{{cite web \|url=http://www.rydercup.com/usa/news/davis-love-iii-named-2016-us-ryder-cup-captain \|title=Davis Love III named U.S. Ryder Cup Captain \|publisher=Ryder Cup \|date=February 24, 2015 \|access-date=February 26, 2015 \|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150226113407/http://www.rydercup.com/usa/news/davis-love-iii-named-2016-us-ryder-cup-captain \|archive-date=February 26, 2015 \|url-status=dead }}</ref> ==Team qualification and selection== ===~~{{flagicon\|USA}}~~ United States=== The United States qualification rules were announced by the Task Force on February 24, 2015.

The team consisted of:<ref name=tfa/> Line 94 ⟶ 95: There were a number of changes from 2014. The number of captain's picks was increased from three to four with the selections being made later than previously, especially moving the fourth and last pick to less than a week before the Ryder Cup, right after the completion of the Tour Championship. The qualifying events included both the 2015 World Golf Championships events and The Players Championship, on top of the four 2015 major championships as in previous years, but only included [[2016 PGA Tour]] events actually played in 2016, thus excluded any other event played in 2015. The qualifying period was also extended because the [[Golf at the 2016 Summer Olympics\|Olympic Games]] had moved the timeslot for the [[2016 PGA Championship]] which took place already at the end of July.
