We have finally done it, people. Weekti week of Ryder Cup.
Twenty -four of the best players in the world have gathered in Bethpage Black, and one’s career will change. A handful of players will play all five games. Even more likely to play only three times.
What about two matches? The final sign of… We really don’t need you now. We will wait to see about it, but in the meantime we have compiled the most true, precise, unforgettable ranking of the power of all 24 players in the event. Enjoy!
24. Sepp Straka
Five months ago, we would expect Straka to play at least four games, but he had a lot of continuation, adding a newborn to his family. In all, Straka has played only two tournaments since Open, and the latest one was quite bad. He is a leading candidate to play only two games, but maybe Luke Donald will surprise us.
23. Justin Rose
Rose scored his ticket for this team in August, during a three-week form of form. And remember what did it do in Augusta in April? Two main problems: Augusta National is NO Bethpage BlackAnd his golf between those two peaks was not good. At the age of 45, he is limited to what he can offer physically. However, mentally, he is a bastion of experience, which means he is forced to grind a match in his 18th hole and beat his chest on Ryder Cup Lore.
22. RASMUS HOJAARD
One of the best carriages leaders in the 2023 Cup, Hojgaard should be an elite Golf Ball driver this week, he was firmly NO In the team of the team in Wentworth two weeks ago. His game is so similar to his brother Nico that feels like the team Europe has the same genuine team. Which would lead you to wait for the case to play some four -ball matches, trying to make as many birds as possible on his ball.
21. Collin Morikawa
It may feel wrong to list the Morikawa this low, but in recent months they have not been good for it. He had a bunch of different people holding his clubs, the latest was Mark Urbanek, who withdrew for Tony Finau at the 2021 Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits, and the results have been all over the country. After all, he is still one of the best Irons players on the planet and can have a type advertising along with Sam Burns, the best in the world.
20. Shane Lowry
Lowry has been an emotional leader for Team Europe in the last two cups, but his game has not been more impressive. Both in those cups and in the summer of 2025. So what do you do with it? Maybe send it to four good paws and I hope the cuffs are hot.
19. Harris English
English won his way to the Ryder Cup playing well at the right time, winning a number of points with second places in two degrees this year. Does he make his game tent You? No. Will he play four matches in Bethpage? Maybe not. But at least he is not novice.
18. Justin Thomas
Thomas is only low because of how mediocre it has been recently. He ended up in the middle of the package in Napa and has turned into a bad round for every two good in the last few weeks. The game up and down can be masked by the format of an event in the team, but I just realize that he is more team leader than a team dancer if you want. And that’s okay!
17. Sam Burns
Indisputable The best putter in the world … In fact, it has achieved better in team competition than most people think. He was the best American, wisely won Strokes, in the 2023 Cup, and he has been very good since the beginning of August. I am mostly curious about which sorcerer of the ball hit he is paired.
16. JJ SPAUN
Spaun practiced with Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley during the US team training camp in Napa, which makes you think he could play with both in New York. His game gives himself to be paired with an excellent layer, though. So a kind of Sam Burns or Ben Griffin can be the best option. Either way, he has played the best golf of his life this year, and the comprehensive nature of his game should be an asset to Keegan Bradley. If it is not a win it may not be on the cards for JBA
15. Bob Macintyre
Two years ago, Macintyre was definitely the biggest concern that entered Ryder Cup. Many Europeans were not interested in even being in the team. But then he went invincible in three games, turned into one of the best players in the world and is now a massive player for Europe. I’m not sure who Donald will pair, especially in every fourth match, but if he is playing an alternative blow – which he did not make from Italy – this is your biggest sign Bob is in good shape.
14. Tyrrell Hatton
He has never been one of the four best players on a Ryder Cup team, but Hatton has always been a sign of depth that Europeans are extremely supported. People forget that he not only played well in Rome, but also completely in Wisconsin, and still caught a point in the European victory in France. He is the lucky one who will most likely play with Jon Rahm.
13. Cameron Young
Rookie Ryder Cup has played some nuclear golf recently. His conclusions in August and September: Win, Solo 5, 11, T4, T9. If he can continue hitting the ball, he can be a lot like Griffin and find himself playing four matches as novice.
12. Patrick Cantlay
Cantlay has been a killer of Ryder Cup, no matter how you see him. He paired brilliantly with Xander Schauffle on Whistling Straits and held Wyndham Clark during a match win in Rome. His late season form was the call to … so will Patty Ice turn to Bethpage? I’m here for small couples with zero with Cameron Young.

11. Victor Hovland
Hovland may have been the best golf player on the planet in front of the 2023 Ryder Cup. He is no more, but his floor is still too high. His putter has been much hotter all summer, which does good for pursuing the birds that these matches end up making.
10. Matt Fitzpatrick
Six months ago, it seemed that Fitzpatrick could not have a place on this European list. But something changed in the spring and it has been unbelievable since then, gathering the first seven 10 in its last nine. There is no win on the board, but he has played some of the most stable golf and can join anyone well. Maybe he has to play again with Rory Mcilroy.
9. Ben Griffin
Griffin is the rank of the highest rank on the list, but he deserves it. He is playing the best golf of his life-and even if he is not a bomber from Tee, he does everything else at an elite-elite level. If he is paired with a teammate in shape, he can come out of a 3- or 3.5-point show. The main question is: how shaky will his knees take in the 1st?
8. Xander Schauffle
Schauffle would be ranked above if he had competed lately, but he has not played within a month – taking time away to be with his wife after they welcomed a newborn for the family. He has not lost a cut over the years, thanks to a very high floor. He will not count to play five games, and may not even play four. We will have to see what kind of form his game is.
7. LUDVIG ABERG
Very, very quiet, Aberg has returned to his peak, with an excellent comprehensive game that you can join with anyone else. We will wait for him to be paired with his Paul Nordik Hovland again. We would not expect them to win another 9 and 7 match, but they will not be surprised if they travel well. The floor is so high.
6. Russell Henley
Henley is lapsed as a strong teammate for Scottie Scheffler, but he can be very good for that role now. He has been one of the eight best players in the world for most of the last 12 months, simply grinding solid shows in any type of golf course. Bethpage will not be a perfect fit for him, but the appropriate course did not hold it in 2025. He simply continues with trucks.
5. Bryson dechambeau
It is difficult to know exactly what Dechambeau has been until the last month, from the end of the Liv Golf season. Well, we know that he is giving cars through the rods of fraud and Making appearances on Walker Cup And even in the team events in Napa – but when it comes to preparing his game, there is probably no greater wild card. He could play five games, electrify the crowd and somehow win more fans than he already. He can also continue good non -excellent shape, get lucky along with the people who have never been paired with and end up playing only three matches.
4. Tommy Fleetwood
Fleetwood is playing the best golf of his life, he took the monkey out of his back with a win in the tour championship and has a record of a Ryder Cup like anyone. He may not play five games, but if he swings with the right teammate – maybe Mcilroy – he may not lower a single session.
3. Rory Mcilroy
No one in the field has as much experience of Ryder Cup as Mcilroy, who has announced a European victory for two full years now. He was shaking a little this summer, but was reappeared again in the K club with an Irish open win. Mcilroy will need to be against Scottie Scheffler in order to be a person subjected to every match this week.
2. Jon Rahm
After being fired for a session in Rome, I would guess Rahm politely requires a full list of five appearances this week. He has gone his toe with scheffler foot in each of the last two glasses, and does not get that opportunity almost enough. Here are 3 round 3 this week.
1. Scottie Scheffler
He is the best indisputable player on the ground and is on a trip to knock Mcilroy from the best player’s cloak since Tiger. A good first step would be his team’s best event. If he doesn’t play five games, something is seriously wrong.
