The Welsh resort of Celtic Manor, 20 miles from Cardiff, will be the venue for the 2010 Ryder Cup, the European Tour said today.
The announcement was made at a news conference on the day the 2001 Ryder Cup was due to start. It was postponed for a year following the attacks on the United States.
That decision also put back the 2003, 2005 and 2007 events, each by a year, and today's announcement ensures the competition retains its two-year cycle.
Celtic Manor beat off competition from five other courses - Slaley Hall in northern England and the Scottish quartet of Gleneagles, Loch Lomond, Turnberry and Carnoustie.
Gleneagles was named as host for the 2014 event - the first in Scotland since Muirfield in 1973. All subsequent Ryder Cups in Europe between 2018 and 2030 will be held outside the British Isles.
