Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether the government is considering a bid to host the 2035 Ryder Cup when it returns to Europe.

The Government remains committed to delivering major international sporting events with pride - building upon the UK’s global reputation for excellence in event delivery - and seeking new opportunities to do so. We prioritise support for events based on a range of criteria, which includes how far they help create social and economic benefits for the UK and contribute towards the Government's Plan for Change.

The UK has secured a strong pipeline of events over the coming years, including the Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games, 2026 European Athletics Championships in Birmingham, the Grand Départ for the Tour De France and the Tour de France Femmes in 2027 and the UEFA European Championships in 2028.

We continue to work closely with our expert arm’s-length body UK Sport to identify opportunities that will strengthen the UK’s major events pipeline and will monitor developments regarding future host venues for the Ryder Cup.
