Bolton Bids to Become First English Ryder Cup Host in over 30 Years
Bolton's Ryder Cup 2035 bid aims to unlock a £240m golf resort with 1,450 homes and major infrastructure, potentially boosting the local economy by £1.2 billion.

- Mayor Andy Burnham unveiled a �420m support package including a �70m Park Avenue link road, with backers estimating a �1.2bn regional economic benefit; Burnham said, 'The lasting boost for our local economy will be huge...'.
- A decision on the 2035 Ryder Cup host is expected by the end of the summer, with work potentially starting as soon as December, according to sources.
