The Junior Ryder Cup, which was first held in 1997, has produced a number of golfing stars as Rory McIlroy, Nicolai Højgaard and Nicolas Colsaerts, the 2023 European Ryder Cup Vice-Captain, all triumphed in the event before also winning the Ryder Cup, while Suzanne Peterson, Carlota Ciganda, Leona Maguire and Emily Kristine Pedersen played as amateurs before lifting the Solheim Cup.
Ballyneety will host the first two days of foursomes and fourballs between male and female juniors from Europe and the United States, before the single matches are held at Adare Manor, the day before it hosts the Ryder Cup itself.
“Ballyneety Golf Club will be a magnificent host for the Junior Ryder Cup in 2027," said Edward Kitson, Junior Ryder Cup Match Director when speaking about the course that was co-designed by 2014 Ryder Cup Vice-Captain Des Smyth.
"The venue offers one of the finest parkland golfing experiences in Ireland, and the next generation of golfing superstars will relish the opportunity to compete on the champion-standard layout.
“Playing the final day singles matches at Adare Manor will be a fantastic experience for the 24 players who get the opportunity to compete in front of Ryder Cup crowds on the Ryder Cup course.
“These matches will form part of an exciting Ryder Cup week, and fans will be able to see some of the most exciting future talent in action.”
John Leamy, General Manager of Ballyneety Golf Club, added: “It is a true honour for Ballyneety Golf Club to host the 2027 Junior Ryder Cup.
"This tournament represents not only a celebration of skill and dedication to the game, but also an opportunity to showcase the spirit of our community and the beauty and quality of our Championship course.
"We are looking forward to welcoming the world’s top emerging golf talent to compete on one of Ireland’s finest parkland courses.
