The 28th Ryder Cup Matches were held 22–24 September 1989 at The Belfry in Wishaw, Warwickshire, England, near Sutton Coldfield.
For only the second time, the competition ended in a draw at 14 points each, but the European team retained the Cup since they had won it outright in 1987.[1] Europe held a two-point lead, 9 to 7, entering the singles matches on Sunday, and the match which retained the Cup for Europe was the eighth, between José María Cañizares and Ken Green. Cañizares made a two-foot (0.6 m) putt on the 18th green to win 1 up and give Europe a 14–10 lead, with four matches remaining on the course.[2][3] The final four matches all resulted in U.S. wins and an overall draw.[1][4][5]
This was the first Ryder Cup played in Europe to be televised live in the United States. It was carried by the USA Network on cable, with video provided by the BBC.[6][7]
The U.S. television coverage in 1985 was a highlight show on ESPN in early November, over a month after its completion.[8] NBC Sports took over live weekend coverage in 1991 in South Carolina,[9] and 1993 marked the first time a major U.S. network televised it live from Europe.
