2025 Ryder Cup Pickswise Expert Predictions
While the 2021 Ryder Cup ended heavily in favour of the Americans, Donald’s team looks stronger on paper this time. Star names Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Tommy Fleetwood, Ludvig Aberg and Viktor Hovland are all suited to the demands of a long, punishing course like Bethpage, and as well-versed in Stateside golf as their US counterparts. Tyrrell Hatton and Shane Lowry remain dogged competitors who have thrived in the Ryder Cup environment, Robert MacIntyre is better than ever, and Justin Rose brings huge experience to the team.
Perhaps most important, however, is Europe’s continuity – Donald’s squad contains 11 of the 12 who teed it up in Rome, with only Rasmus Hojgaard coming in to replace twin brother Nicolai. Donald – and vice-captain turned data-analyst Edoardo Molinari – have known their key pairings for months, whereas Bradley has had less time to prepare for all eventualities. There have been headaches for Donald to grapple with, including the personal reasons which have impacted Sepp Straka’s ability to play in the BMW PGA Championship, but Europe look well-prepared.
8 Europeans have played in an away Ryder Cup before. Only McIlroy, a member of the 2012 squad alongside Donald, has won on US soil. They will be aware of the enormity of the task facing them, but that experience should also stand them in good stead. This has the potential to be the most competitive Ryder Cup since Medinah and a wide-margin win in either direction looks unlikely.
