Qualification process confirmed for the 2027 G4D Ryder Cup in Limerick
The qualification period runs from November 10 this year until next July, and players will earn their place through performances at eligible tournaments
THE qualification process for the inaugural G4D Ryder Cup presented by Ei Electronics has today been confirmed, with the qualification period officially underway for players from Europe and the United States.
The new match, which forms part of the Ryder Cup's 100th anniversary celebrations next year, will see the world's leading golfers with a disability compete in a team contest between Europe and the United States at Ballyneety Golf Club in Limerick from September 13-15 next year.
Following consultation with a range of stakeholders across the game, Ryder Cup Europe has established a qualification pathway based on the existing World Ranking for Golfers with Disability (WR4GD) system. A dedicated WR4GD Ryder Cup Leaderboard will be administered by the World Amateur Golf Ranking, using the same proven ranking methodology currently utilised for the global gross WR4GD rankings.
The qualification period runs from November 10 this year until next July, and players will earn their place through performances at eligible tournaments on the existing world schedule. Players must also complete a minimum of four tournament rounds during the qualification period.
Each team will comprise five male and five female players. For Team Europe, the top four male and top four female players in the final standings will qualify, with one male and one female place awarded to the highest-ranked Irish players who have not otherwise qualified.
