The biggest margin of victory since the competition was expanded in 1979 was 10 points in 2021, when the United States won 19-9 at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin.<\/p>\n
The record win before expansion was a huge 15 points in 1967, when the United States beat Great Britain 23\u00bd-8\u00bd at Champions Golf Club in Houston, Texas.<\/p>\n
However, there were 32 points on offer across the three days as 16 singles matches were played across two sessions on Sunday, with players able to play twice. <\/p>\n
That was reduced to 12 singles matches, with players only able to play once, when continental Europe joined in 1979, leaving 28 points to play for.<\/p>\n
But, even with the fewer points available these days, Europe could break the all-time record margin – but they would need to win 11 of the singles matches to do so.<\/p>\n
Europe’s biggest margin of victory is nine points, when they won 18\u00bd-9\u00bd in successive Ryder Cups at Oakland Hills in 2004 and The K Club in 2006.<\/p>\n
They will break that record if they win eight of their 12 singles matches on Sunday. They could win fewer and still break the record if some matches are halved.<\/p>\n
The biggest away win is 18\u00bd-9\u00bd – achieved by the US at Walton Heath in 1981 and Europe at Oakland Hills in 2004.<\/p>\n
The most points won by a team was 23\u00bd by United States in 1967, with their 19 in 2021 the most post-1979.<\/p>\n
