The story continues as Europe debates international competition since winning the Ryder Cup two years ago. Why is the US not united any more? Stories generally do not come from thin air.

What about 39 years old, who has only one goal? play The Ryder Cup is trying to unite his contemporaries in a shared mission. Especially against Luke Donald’s counterpart, who hums the European side and sings “Kumbaya” on his way to Beth Page Black?
Supporting the US is the history of the Ryder Cup, as neither side has been successful on the road since 2012. That winning streak breaks after five plays. Don’t forget: When the Ryder Cup was last played in the state, the US wiped the floor in Europe with a record 19-9 victory.
The US enters -150, with Europe holding the +175 odds to win the Ryder Cup, according to the Caesars Sportsbook.

2025 Ryder Cup Prediction, Expert Picks
US MVP
Scotty Scheffler: The chaotic agent in me wants to roll with someone like Patrick Cantray, but the US won’t be able to stand the chance without the number one in the world and will be taller this weekend. Schaeffler is the best player in the world and he has a target on his back. He will be proud to wear it with pride in both the foursome and four-ball sessions, which portray a comfortable partnership. Putter was an important issue in the 2023 competition. It then put Schaeffler in a position to control this rider cup. Odds as a Top American: 2-1 | Top Point Scorer: 3-1 – Patrick McDonald
Scotty Scheffler: Feel free to argue for others, but Schaeffler the man He leads the American path. He is the best player in the world with a fairly wide margin, and how his match goes is important to the convictions of players on both sides. If Europe can steal points from the US in Schaeffler’s match, it will promote beliefs on the part of Europe and lead to potential road upsets. On the contrary, Schaeffler can set the tone of the Americans and help them calm their nerves. If that guy is on your team and you know he’s dealing with his business, the task of suddenly getting 14.5 points feels a little daunting. Odds as a Top American: 2-1 | Top Point Scorer: 3-1 – Robbie Kalland
European MVP
Viktor Hovland: Europe is looking forward to contributions from the Big Three, McIlroy, Rahm and Fleetwood. Hovland turns it into a Rome-like core 4. Beth Page Black reduces the stress caused by his driver and looks perfect on paper when he opens the golf course with an iron ranked second in Schaeffler in 2025. Short games have a sense of recent moments. Odds as Top Europe: 12-1 | Top Point Scorer: 28-1 – McDonald’s
Rory McIlroy: If Europe is about to carry out the upset on Bethpage, Rory must lead the charges. He went 4-1-0 in Rome, but would be shocked if he didn’t go out to all five sessions again this week. McIlroy was the one who boasted that they would win the road after their victory in Italy, and he is not only the best player in Europe, but also the heartbeat of the team. If Europe silences the public on Bethpage, he will need to score 3.5 or 4 points again this week. Odds as Top Europe: 4-1 | Top Point Scorer: 9-1 – Kaland
Candidate breakouts
Cameron Young (USA): Young, well versed in golf courses, playing with anyone and experiencing big moments, could be the player who puts the US on top. The former PGA Tour Rookie of the Year is as long as everyone is off the tee, and his improvement with the Greens (second best on the US team behind Burns) is really difficult with these playing formats. If the iron play is sharp, Young will have himself for a week. Odds as a Top American: 12-1 | Top Point Scorer: 22-1 – McDonald’s
Ben Griffin (USA): Based on the early practice round schedule, Griffin looks like the guy drawing a decanbo pairing this week. If so, I love his chance to be a star on this US team. We spent the whole season waiting for Griffin to return to Earth, but he continues to play at a very high level as the lights brighten. If he’s lined up with Dedanbo, I could have seen him pull down 2.5 or 3 points this week and become his beloved figure on Beth Page. Odds as a Top American: 20-1 | Top Point Scorer: 27-1 – Kaland
Surprising predictions
Fans will be treated to memorable Sunday singles: It’s been more than a decade since the Ryder Cup got tight on Sunday. The final five won over 5 points each, but this year the team is incredibly changing on paper. Fans watch version 3.0 for Bryson vs. Rory and Rahm vs. Schaeffler for just over 5 minutes Well, if this happens and it happens, the US may have a chance to win Self-generated excitement. This bad boy will be coming down to the wire with those who are in the second half of the lineup making big statements in the final results. – McDonald’s
JJ Spaun or Russell Henley scored US victory points (odds: 6-1 each): This will almost certainly be decided late Sunday, and both will be on the backend of Sunday singles, given the way Bradley spoke about Spann and Henry. I hope people like Scheffler and Dechambeau will be sent early to try and score points on the board, but to get that done you need a reliable dog on the backend. Bradley has gushed about the competitive spirit of both guys leading up to the Ryder Cup, and they were able to serve as the final four pairings of them to go out on Sunday with the Ryder Cup in balance. – Kaland
The winner side
US (15-13): Everything screams for Europe – form, experience, continuity, leadership, pedigree, meaning and anything you want to build up – but something inside says that the US will get the job done by its thinnest margin. (Very scientific, I know.) Europe is a known quantity of this equation, and there are many unknown quantities in the US, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that they are all negative. There are some surprising performances from blends of rookies and stubborn people like Thomas and Schaufere. Winning Odds: -150 | Accurate Score Odds: 10-1 – McDonald’s
US (15-13): Europe has pushed Americans more than you would expect from the road team since Medinah in 2012, but this US team has the goods to get the job done. If there’s nothing else, there’s Schaeffler and the crowd of Bethpage behind him. Bradley has done an incredible job bringing this team together in a way that we don’t always see from the US side, and it will pay dividends on Sunday. I’m hoping to know how the US handles Foursome – Europe could have an advantage in those sessions – but with Sunday’s single, the US has enough dogs to get past the finish line and roll up the rider cup at home. Winning Odds: -150 | Accurate Score Odds: 10-1 – Kaland
