In 2025, the European Ryder Cup team will showcase 11 of the 12 players who won in Rome two years ago. Donald announced these options on Monday, with the European Ryder Cup team ready to be completed and defend the crown against the US at Beth Page Black in New York.
Shane Laurie, John Lahm, Victor Hofland, Cep Straka, Rudig Sir and Matt Fitzpatrick were all called to Donald’s captain pick and joined six automatic qualifiers: Rory McIlroy, Robert Masstiel, Tommy Fleetwood, Justen Hutton Rose and Tommy Fleetwood. Højgaard is the only first timer for the European team, as it replaces his twin brother Nikolai, who joined two years ago.
That continuity and experience is what Europe has acquired banks as a means of creating the advantages that prepare the crowds of Rowdy American (particularly Long Island) to head towards the hostile territory of Bethpage Black, where they await them.
United States Captain Kiegun Bradley had to Emphasise whether you choose yourself or not (And if not, who else will bring it to Beth Page), there was no difficult decision for Donald. Harry Hall made a slow push with strong plays to close the season, but he finished 17th on the European points list. Donald was able to lower his ranking from 7th to 11th to 11th on the first five picks. Rahm is an easy choice on the 24th as he hasn’t scored many points on Liv Golf.
With both teams officially set, you can shift your full focus to an exciting matchup at Beth Page at the end of the month, one of the most anticipated Ryder Cups in history.
