But isn't Sauron doing pretty well without the Ring? The destruction of the Ring is the only thing that can stop him. I'd say its damn lucky the Ring was found when it was, or Sauron would have taken over the whole of Middle-earth. All Sauron needed was for the Ring to continue to exist. Bit like those fairy stories where the ogre's heart is hidden away & so he's unstoppable. He can't be defeated in battle because he's too powerful. The hero has to find out where his heart is & destroy that in order to defeat him.

So, Sauron doesn't actually need the Ring in order to win, al he needs to do is stop anyone from destroying it - that's why he wants it back.
