| - The 33rd Ryder Cup, also known as the "Battle of Brookline", was held September 24–26, 1999, in the United States at The Country Club in Brookline, Massachusetts, a suburb southwest of Boston. The American team won the competition by a margin of 141⁄2 to 131⁄2, The Europeans, leading 10–6 heading into the final round, needed only 4 points on the final day to retain the cup. The Americans rallied on the Sunday, winning the first 6 matches of the day to surge into the lead. Further wins by Steve Pate and Jim Furyk took them into a 14–12 lead. The Americans recaptured the Ryder Cup when Justin Leonard halved his match with José María Olazábal. With the match all-square Leonard holed a 45-foot birdie putt on the 17th hole. After controversial premature celebrations on the green, Olazabal then missed his 22-foot birdie putt to leave Leonard one up with just one hole to play, assuring him of a half point and guaranteeing an American victory. The behavior of both U.S. spectators and the U.S. team was criticized by both American and European media. U.S. spectators raucously heckled and abused European players. Allegations were also made regarding cheating on the part of course marshals. Notoriously, the U.S. team raucously invaded the 17th green after Leonard had holed his long putt but before Olazábal had attempted his shorter putt. The incident was viewed by many in both the US and Europe as appalling sportsmanship. Veteran broadcaster Alistair Cooke described the last day of the tournament as "a date that will live in infamy" in a Letter from America entitled "The arrival of the golf hooligan". At the time, the American win was the largest final day come-from-behind victory in Ryder Cup history; Europe achieved the same feat in 2012. It is still widely regarded as one of the most impressive come-from-behind victories in recent sports history. This was one of the last public appearances of Payne Stewart, who died in a plane crash less than a month later.

- La 33ª edizione della Ryder Cup si è tenuta al The Country Club nella città di Brookline, vicina a Boston, Massachusetts, dal 24 al 26 settembre 1999. L’evento è conosciuto anche come la Battaglia di Brookline. Gli Europei si presentarono alla competizione come detentori della coppa, vinta nell'edizione del 1997 tenuta a . I capitani dei team erano Mark James per l’Europa e Ben Crenshaw per gli USA. La formazione americana vinse con un punteggio di 14½ a 13½. La squadra europea fu in vantaggio fin dalla prima giornata di venerdì, quindi arrivò all’ultima giornata in vantaggio 10-6, quindi le servivano 4 punti per mantenere la coppa. La domenica, tuttavia, gli Stati Uniti vinsero i primi 6 incontri e passarono così in vantaggio di 2 punti. Sul 14-12, Justin Leonard permise ai suoi di riconquistare il trofeo pareggiando il proprio confronto contro José María Olazábal. Durante la competizione furono numerosi gli episodi controversi che diedero adito a critiche. Il comportamento degli spettatori e degli stessi giocatori statunitensi fu infatti oggetto di rimproveri da parte dei media: se i tifosi locali insultarono ed infastidirono in varie occasioni i golfisti avversari, i giocatori di casa invasero il 17° green dopo il colpo di Leonard andato a segno, ma prima che Olazábal effettuasse il suo putt.
