Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Ryder Cup is golf's version of an all-star game. For almost ninety years, the biennial men's golf competition has been an important symbol of the game, knitting together the sporting cultures of the U.S., the UK, and continental Europe, and inspiring an intense rivalry among professional golfers and a passionate following across the globe. In his original exploration of the world of the Ryder Cup, Richard Gillis explores what it takes to win this coveted trophy. Accustomed to playing for and winning large sums of money, the twelve players on each side are paid nothing for this competition. Even more, in what is a singularly individual sport, fierce competitors such as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson, or Rory McIlroy and Sergio Garcia, must form and act as a team. Through his probing and insightful analysis, having consulted leadership gurus, team building experts, and sports psychologists, Gillis has written a book that every fan of golf will want to read as the 2014 Ryder Cup unfolds.
