Stripe has become a worldwide partner for the next two editions of the intercontinental golf competition – held at Ireland’s Adare Manor in 2027 and Minnesota’s Hazeltine in 2029 – in a deal that will see the firm, which is dual-headquartered in San Francisco and Dublin, also become the official payment solutions partner. Stripe’s chief revenue officer Conor McNamara said the firm will be able to cope with the demands of a Rider Cup, adding that “some of the world’s most complex businesses rely on Stripe for their financial infrastructure – from payments to managing billing, revenue, and money movement”. Ryder Cup sponsorship expansion Next year’s Ryder Cup will celebrate the centenary of the competition – which sees Europe face the USA in a mix of four-ball, foursome and single matches – which took place at Worcester Country Club in Massachusetts. Europe will be looking to secure an eighth consecutive home Ryder Cup – having been unbeaten this side of the pond since 1997 – and a third successive win in all, having overcome fierce crowd opposition to beat Team USA around the infamous Bethpage Black course in New York.
