Nick Faldo-designed course nominated for 2022 Ryder Cup

Germany have nominated the A-Rosa golf course at Bad Saarow as they bid to host the 2022 Ryder Cup.

The course, which was designed by six-time Major winner Sir Nick Faldo, is located in Brandenburg, near Berlin.

"When I think of the Ryder Cup and Bad Saarow, I have a vision which creates a strategic course the players will enjoy and which will create some storied drama in a matchplay format," Faldo told reporters.

"I believe we will create an environment for history and for the fans.

"The Ryder Cup means a lot to me and the contributions of the German players has been significant. Bringing the Ryder Cup is a salute to them and the opportunity to write another chapter in German and European golf history."

Germany are bidding against Spain, Italy, Austria and Portugal to host the tournament.

The next Ryder Cup will be played at the Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota next year.
