The paper deals with one of the most famous golf competitions, so called Ryder Cup. Except for the history, curious aspects of this competition are mentioned. Playing in hole, especially in couples (fourball or foursome) gives the captain many possibilities how to combine couples. In dependence on the players typology a mathematical model, which calculates the chance of victory in each of the three mentioned possibilities, is created.
