Ryder Cup 2025

It’s the first time in a long while that I’ve gone into it thinking we’ve got the stronger team. That doesn’t really mean much though. To win away is incredibly hard and Bethpage in terms of the crowd is going to be brutal.

Donald’s a great captain though and the team itself looks so much more bonded than the US does, they all genuinely like each other, so I give them a lot more of a chance than any of our teams since Medinah.
 
I’m expecting a far closer affair than our last two efforts over there (17-11 & 19-9) the EU team is in good form. I’d have preferred to see Harry Hall included over Matt Fitzpatrick due to the former being a regular fixture on the PGA tour and his excellent putting - crucial because it’s birdies that generally win holes in the 4 balls. Some of the form of the US team is questionable, particularly Schauffele, and a couple have qualified off early season efforts.
Bound to be noisy however possibly not as partisan if the event were being held in a ‘red’ state. Lots of 1st/2nd gen EU descendants in the area, any Canadian’s heading down will be supporting EU. I’m not sure himself making an appearance will do the US team any favours whatsoever.

I think we’ll win by a couple of points 15-13.
 
Favourite sporting event outwith football.

A lots being made over the crowd. They’ll be no worse / better than Europes support at K Club or Gleneagles. The crowd creating an atmosphere makes the Ryder Cup special

Important for Europe to get away to a fast start.

I’ll have a guess at Friday morning pairings….

Tommy Fleetwood / Rory McIlroy

Bob McIntyre / Justin Rose

Tyrell Hatton / Jon Rahm

And possibly Victor Hovland / Ludvig Aberg

Hovland form has been patchy at best but looked as if he was coming back in to form. It’ll be so tight his form could be the deciding factor

If this was a home tie I’d rip Europe massively but USA having home advantage makes it a much closer with them having course set up to suit their players.
 
I love the Ryder cup. It's only bettered by City, the world cup and the Olympics as a sporting occasion in my humble opinion... It might be better than the world cup actually. No one asked I know!
 
Looking forward to this. Hope its close for once as its been heavily weighted in favour of the home team. Tough course
 
Best sporting event of the year, gonna be tough for the Europeans with the noisy New York and Americans in general crowd. Could be very close. Good tee times with it being on the east coast.

Head says 15 1/2 to 13 1/2 to the septics.

Hope Cantlay gets zero points, loses his Pro V's and finds a Dunlop distance x.

Click to expand...

The crowd will be a lot worse than those, albeit to the point I think it might actually be a detriment if they go over the top too much.
 
We love golf in our house and athough we play 2 or 3 times a week we really don't watch it. That is until this event comes around. Will be parked in front of the TV but it'll be on mute, mashed potato, usa usa, in the hole...get in the bin you divs
 
Looking forward to seeing this. Won't enjoy the OTT American reactions. Hope Europe gives a great 3 days of quality golf ⛳
 
Love the Ryder cup, been to a couple of past events and loved it..Scotland, Paris..

Yanks have the edge imo, but if we have a strong showing in the fourballs/foursomes, and hold our own in the individual’s……who knows. Europe are always the better ‘team’ players imo
 
Can't see past the 'muricans. New Yorkers are not known for being reticent about voicing their opinions; it'll be a feral atmosphere. Plus; the home advantage seems to be huge. Europe haven't won over there since 2012, and the Yanks haven't won in Europe since 1993, I think?
