Spain will stage the Ryder Cup for a second time when Camiral Resort in Girona hosts the 48th edition of the tournament in 2031, the European Tour Group revealed on Tuesday.
The Costa Brava venue marks the competition's return to Spanish soil following a 34-year absence since Valderrama welcomed the event in 1997.
The announcement confirms Camiral, which was formerly called PGA Catalunya, as the latest addition to the tournament's hosting schedule.
The biennial contest between Europe and the United States will make only its fourth appearance on continental European territory, having previously visited Paris in 2018 and Rome in 2023.

The Stadium Course at Camiral has established itself as a prominent golfing destination, having staged multiple DP World Tour competitions including the Spanish Open.
The venue joins an illustrious roster of future hosts, with Bethpage Black in New York set to stage this year's contest from 26-28 September.

Ireland's Adare Manor will welcome the teams in 2027, followed by Minnesota's Hazeltine National in 2029.
Guy Kinnings, Chief Executive of the European Tour Group, praised the selection: "Today's announcement not only recognises Camiral as one of Europe's leading venues, but also the considerable contribution Spanish golf has made to the proud history of the Ryder Cup."
The 1997 tournament at Valderrama saw legendary golfer Seve Ballesteros guide the European team to a narrow 14½-13½ triumph against the Americans.
Spanish golfers have made substantial contributions to Europe's Ryder Cup legacy, with eleven players from the nation having competed in the tournament - jointly the second-highest representation alongside England.
Jose Maria Olazabal led Europe to victory at Medinah in 2012, whilst Sergio Garcia has accumulated more points than any other competitor in the event's history.
Contemporary Spanish golf continues to flourish through Jon Rahm, who has secured two major championships and reinforced the country's position as continental Europe's premier golfing nation.

Kinnings highlighted the tournament's expansion since its previous Spanish staging: "The Ryder Cup has grown significantly since Spain last hosted it in 1997.
"It is one of the world's leading sporting events, which brings significant economic benefits and global exposure to a host region and country, so we could not be happier to be taking it to Costa Brava and Barcelona for the first time, and to Spain for the second time."
Europe currently hold the trophy following their 16½-11½ victory in Rome last year. The team will attempt to secure their first American victory since 2012 when they compete at Bethpage Black this September.
