According to this information, the candidacy would already have the support of the Spanish and Catalan federations, the Spanish Government and the Girona Provincial Council and City Council. And it is negotiated to have the green light from the Catalan Government, the City Council and the Barcelona Provincial Council.

Sources from the PGA Catalunya confirmed to La Vanguardia the conversations with the organization of the Ryder Cup and their "firm will" to host the biannual competition in 2031, after the editions of Rome 2023, New York 2025, Limerick (Ireland) 2027 and Minnesota 2029.
