The Ryder Cup is coming back to its spiritual home. The 40th staging of golf’s showpiece team event is returning to Gleneagles – where it effectively all began. Ed Hodge’s book tells the intertwining stories of the Ryder Cup and of golf at Gleneagles, from the USA v GB match in 1921 that sparked a rivalry for the ages, all the way to the latest installment of an international sporting phenomenon in the 90th year of the iconic hotel. Tracing the history of the Ryder Cup back to that first forerunner encounter at Gleneagles in 1921, Ed Hodge interviews an array of national and international celebrities, from Gary Player, Lee Trevino, Tom Watson, Paul McGinley, Sam Torrance, Sandy Lyle, Bernard Gallacher and Peter Alliss to Andy Murray, Kenny Dalglish, Stephen Hendry, Gavin Hastings and Sir Jackie Stewart, revealing what Gleneagles and the Ryder Cup means to them while examining the impact that the tournament will have on the local community and the wider Scottish society, culture and economy.

With a foreword by Jack Nicklaus, the greatest golfer of all time and the designer of the PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles, as well as a hole-by-hole guide to the course by Ryder Cup legend, Colin Montgomerie, Jewel in the Glen paints a unique portrait of Gleneagles, Scottish golf and the history of the Ryder Cup.

Jewel in the Glen is published in association with The Gleneagles Hotel.
