  The biennial Ryder Cup golf contest between the US and Europe is one of the biggest, most pulsating - and often most controversial - sporting events in the world. On the last two occasions the Europeans have pulverised the Americans, and relegated world-best players like Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson to also-rans. For golfers like Colin Montgomerie, their heroic and brilliantly consistent performances under pressure in the Ryder Cup are comparable achievements to winning a Major. Dale Concannon's book is now established as the most readable and authoritative chronicle of this great tournament. Now re-published - fully updated to include the 2004 contest - as a stunningly illustrated full-colour book, it features over 140 photographs, from rare archive shots of the Cup's earliest days to magnificent action shots of the gladiatorial epics of recent years.
