Synopsis
The 34th annual Ryder Cup was set to be a heated match after the American team mounted an improbable comeback in 1999 to claim the coveted cup. European captain Sam Torrence and his cohorts host the Americans, led by captain Curtis Strange, at The DeVere Belfrey in Sutton Coldfield, England for what proved to be an exceptionally exciting tournament.

 a surprisingly good synopsis of that remarkable weekend January 6, 2003
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
Having got used to rather disappointing "chuck it together quick and get it on the shelves" videos of sporting occasions (Arsenal season highlights, and the Ryder Cup '97 spring immediately to mind), I was pleasantly surprised by this latest effort. Despite the rather droning American voice on the commentary - oh for Peter Alliss - the coverage of the matches, the crucial moments, and the final stunning start to the singles by Europe, were all well edited. There was a real sense of tension throughout, the stats kept pace with the evolution of the games so you always knew where the key points were, and the climax was given plenty of time to develop, especially that thrilling match between Price and Mickelson.
I also smiled wrily at the soundbite of Tiger Woods - is it me or was he only mouthing a platitude that he really didn't seem to take to heart when he spoke of the pride of playing in a team for once?
The only downside to the tape was the long drawn-out piece on the golfers' wives and their lunch date together. While Mrs Torrance was an engaging, articulate figure, the rest was only fit for the fast-forward button. Seen one American blonde golfing wife, seen 'em all!
 Relive The Ryder Cup December 15, 2002

A fantastic video that relives the whole of the 2002 Ryder Cup. Selected players give thier views about playing in the event and there is also parts that focus in on the wifes and partners of the players. You also get to see some of the up and comming talent in the Junior Ryder Cup and how security had to be planned to avoid events like those that caused the Cup to be delayed.The video displays some of those remarkable shots that won the Ryder Cup and the captain's views are also given. This is essential viewing as you can watch the winning putt roll in as many times as you like.
