Ryder Cup – 2-Man Net Match Play

Each team pairs two players to compete against a two-player pair from the opposing team.

All four players play their own ball on each hole. Handicap strokes are applied, and each side uses the lowest net score of its two players for the hole.

  • Lowest team net score wins the hole.
  • Equal net scores halve the hole.
  • The match ends when one pair leads by more holes than remain.
  • Win = 1 point | Tie = ½ point each | Loss = 0 points
  • All match points count toward the team's Ryder Cup total.
