Diageo Puts Ryder Cup Host Site Gleneagles Hotel Up for Sale

Diageo Plc has put Scotland’s luxury Gleneagles hotel and golf-course complex on the market as the world’s biggest distiller seeks to capitalize on a booming property market and the success of last year’s Ryder Cup.

The maker of Tanqueray gin has had “numerous expressions of interest over the years and particularly since the Ryder Cup,” played at the venue in September, Diageo spokeswoman Rowan Pearman said in an e-mailed statement. “As you would expect, we have a duty to consider such interest carefully.”
