The '''36th Ryder Cup Matches''' were held 22–24 September [[2006 in golf|2006]] in [[Republic of Ireland|Ireland]] at the Palmer Course of the [[The Kildare Hotel and Golf Club|K Club]] in [[Straffan]], [[County Kildare]], west of [[Dublin]]. It was the first time the event was played in Ireland.

Europe won by 18{{1/2}} to 9{{1/2}} points, equalling their record winning margin of [[2004 Ryder Cup|two years earlier]] for their third consecutive win, a first for Europe.<ref>The sequence from 1985-1987-1989 included a tie in [[1989 Ryder Cup|1989]], retaining the trophy for Europe.</ref> Swedish rookie [[Henrik Stenson]] made the winning putt, just moments after [[Luke Donald]] sank a putt to ensure Europe retained the trophy.<ref>If the '[[dormie]]' situation is taken into account, then half points can be 'virtually' added from matches still in play where Europe were guaranteed half a point. From this viewpoint, Europe's retention of the trophy was sealed when David Howell won over Brett Wetterich, and the win was certain when Donald beat Chad Campbell. However, because players in a 'dormie' situation can still be disqualified and lose their match, the scoreboard and the records of the tournament only take account of concluded matches, and so the records credit Donald with ensuring that Europe retained the trophy and Stenson with guaranteeing the victory.</ref>

==Course==
The K Club has two [[Arnold Palmer]]-designed championship courses and the 36th Ryder Cup was held on the ''Palmer Course'' (also known as the North or Old Course). The course is a parkland course located on the banks of the [[River Liffey]], threaded through mature woodlands on the [[Straffan]] country estate.

==Television==
Domestically, [[Sky Sports]] provided live coverage of all sessions.

In the United States, coverage of the first day was recorded live, but presented on tape-delay by [[PGA Tour on USA|USA Network]].  [[Bill Macatee]] hosted from the 18th tower. On Saturday, [[Golf Channel on NBC|NBC Sports]] presented coverage on tape, but recorded live. NBC then aired the singles live on Sunday morning. [[Dan Hicks (sportscaster)|Dan Hicks]] and [[Johnny Miller]] hosted from the 18th tower, [[Gary Koch]] and [[Bob Murphy (golfer)|Bob Murphy]] called holes, while on-course reporters were [[Mark Rolfing]], [[Roger Maltbie]], and [[Dottie Pepper]]. To provide a European perspective, NBC used former European team player [[Nick Faldo]] as a guest analyst on the Saturday afternoon session.  Faldo had worked in the same role for NBC at the [[2002 Ryder Cup]], and at the time of the 2006 edition was in between jobs, having worked as an analyst for [[PGA Tour on ABC|ABC Sports]] from 2004 to 2006, but having signed with [[PGA Tour on CBS|CBS Sports]] for 2007 and beyond.

==Format==
The [[Ryder Cup]] is a [[match play]] event, with each match worth one point.  The competition format used in [[2004 Ryder Cup|2004]] and 2006 was as follows:
*'''Day 1''' (Friday) – 4 [[Four-ball golf|fourball]] (better ball) matches in a morning session and 4 [[Foursome (golf)|foursome]] (alternate shot) matches in an afternoon session
*'''Day 2''' (Saturday) – 4 fourball matches in a morning session and 4 foursome matches in an afternoon session
*'''Day 3''' (Sunday) – 12 singles matches
With a total of 28 points, 14{{1/2}} points were required to win the Cup, and 14 points were required for the defending champion to retain the Cup.  All matches were played to a maximum of 18 holes.

|halved<ref>After Europe had already won, McGinley conceded a 25-foot birdie putt to Henry on the 18th hole, halving their match. If Henry had putted and missed, Europe's final total would have been a record victory over the Americans. McGinley conceded the putt because an almost-naked spectator ran across the green and jumped into the lake as Henry was about to putt.[http://travel.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,30289-2381833,00.html]{{dead link|date=September 2024|bot=medic}}{{cbignore|bot=medic}} This was reported on radio stations and in newspapers but not shown on television. McGinley's action has been described as an example of the "sportsmanship that has come to signify the Ryder Cup."
