how many points do you need to win ryder cup

To win the Ryder Cup, a team needs to accumulate at least 14.5 points out of the total 28 points available. If the defending champion team reaches 14 points, they retain the Cup. The competition is played in a match play format over three days with pairs of players competing in foursomes and fourballs on the first two days, and singles matches on the third day. The first team to surpass 14 points wins the championship, while a tie at 14 points results in the defending champion keeping the trophy.
