Real Club Valderrama\u2019s privileged relationship with the European Tour began with the 1988 Volvo Masters. This season-ending event was held for 16 years at the Spanish venue with star-studded fields. Sir Nick Faldo, the winner of the inaugural edition, was followed by big names such as Sandy Lyle (1992), Colin Montgomerie (1993, 2002), Bernhard Langer (1994, 2002), Ian Poulter (2004), Paul McGinley (2005) or Justin Rose (2007), amongst others.<\/p>\n

The greatest milestone in the club\u2019s history was the staging of the first edition of the Ryder Cup played outside the British Isles in 1997. Under the captaincy of Seve Ballesteros, Europe recorded a 14 \u00bd – 13 \u00bd victory over the US, despite a final day fightback from Tom Kite\u2019s team which included debutant Tiger Woods.<\/p>\n

Two years later, a dominant Woods claimed the inaugural edition of the WGC-American Express Championship. Woods led by four on the 17th<\/sup> tee, but after hitting twice into the water for a triple bogey, had to go to extra holes against Miguel \u00c1ngel Jim\u00e9nez, one of many dramatic moments recorded on that famous par five. Canada\u2019s Mike Weir won 12 months later in 2000.<\/p>\n

More recently, the Andaluc\u00eda Valderrama Masters has featured on the Race to Dubai. Graeme McDowell won the 2010 edition. In 2011 Sergio Garc\u00eda finally claimed the first Spanish victory at Valderrama after seeing off Miguel \u00c1ngel Jim\u00e9nez in an enthralling Sunday duel.<\/p>\n
