One of the world's premier golf events is coming back to Minnesota.

Ryder Cup officials say they're returning to Minnesota and back to Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska. But it won't be for another 10 years.

The Ryder Cup made the announcement for 2028 on its website Monday morning, saying that the host of the 2016 matches will be the first venue in the U.S. to twice host the biennial face-off between European and American golfers.

Hazeltine hosted the Ryder Cup in 2016. The American team won the competition 17-11. The event brought an estimated quarter-million fans to the course.

Hazeltine opened in 1962. It hosted the Women's Open in 1966 and 1977 and the U.S. Open in 1970 and 1991, as well as the PGA Championship in 2002 and 2009.

The Ryder Cup was founded in 1927 and alternates between courses in Europe and the U.S. This year, it will be played in a Paris suburb starting Sept. 28.

The Ryder Cup is typically played every other year and brings 24 of the best golfers to square off in head-to-head match play.
