The Ryder Cup Captaincy Game
Loading the first tee…
You are the captain now. Pick your twelve, pair them up, and send them out — then stand on the fairway and hope. Drive for Five is a free browser game that hands you the one job in golf where you never hit a shot: running a Ryder Cup team.
Here is the challenge. Draft a squad of legends, decide who partners whom in the foursomes and fourballs, set your Sunday singles order, and win the cup. Do it once and you have matched some of the greatest captains in history. Do it five times in a row and you have done something no captain has ever managed. Four wins is the record. Five makes history — and the whole game is built to find out whether you can get there.
No download, no sign-up, no account. It loads right here in your browser and plays on your phone. (If nothing has appeared, switch JavaScript on and reload.)
While the first tee loads, dig into the golf: rate your favourites in the Ryder Cup player ratings — all 197 legends across both teams — settle the debate over the greatest Ryder Cup captains of all time, look ahead to the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor, or relive the most clutch shots in Ryder Cup history.
