It was arguably the greatest comeback in the history of sport, the most remarkable Ryder Cup ever!
Jose Maria Olazabal’s heroes, inspired by the spirit of their talisman, Severiano Ballesteros, overcame the strongest American team in recent memory, a raucous Chicago gallery and a four point deficit going into the final day’s 12 singles matches making Ryder Cup history by winning 14½ to 13½.
On this 2-disc collection, to be released on 19th November, Europe’s Ryder Cup captain, Jose Maria Olazabal, takes us on his own personal journey of the week that was the ‘Miracle at Medinah’.
From the calm as he watched his team arrive in Chicago, to the emotional climax of ‘the putt he couldn’t watch’, in this programme we get the unique chance to see the highs and the lows of the 2012 Ryder Cup through the eyes of ‘El Capitan’.
Also included in the box set is all the action from the three remarkable days of competition.

Road to Medinah includes interviews with both captains and leading players, recent history of the Ryder Cup and an insight into what makes a great Ryder Cup venue plus insightful stories from key people who make a Ryder Cup happen.
