Golf editors
On the surface, the process of selecting the European team seemed much less packed than the decision to grieve the intestine that Bradley faces. Captain Luke Donald-whose Squadra won Ryder Cup with the command margin of 16.5-11.5 in the 2023 edition in Rome-was expected to camp a nearly copied team this year. Donald auto-qualifiers for 2025 include Rory Mcilroy, Robert Macintyre, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Rasmus Hoygaard and Tyrrell Hatton. Of those names, Hojgaard is the only novice.
Captain Luke Donald’s elections
On Monday, Donald chose the rest of the players who will take over Americans in the 45th Cup Ryder at Bethpage Black in Long Island: Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm, Sepp Straka, Victor Hovland, Ludwig Aberg and Matt Fitzpatrick.
With his choices, Donald did not leave far from the points ranking. Shane Lowry was ranked 7th, sepp Straka 8th, Ludwig Aberg 9th, Victor Hovland 10 and Matt Fitzpatrick 11.
Lowry has played in two Ryder cups with a 2-3-1 record; Straka played in a cup with a 1-2-0 record; Aberg played in a cup with a 2-2-0 record; Hovland has played in two cups with a 3-4-3 record; And Fitzpatrick has played in three cups with a 1-7-0 record.
Jon Rahm, who joined Liv Golf before the 2024 season, was on the 24th European list of Ryder Cup points, but was a member of three Ryder Cup teams, with a 6-3-3 record. In Rome in 2023, Rahm was 2-0-2.
Matt Wallace, who was 12th in the ranking of European points, made titles on the weekend with A spill of emotion in the European masters of the DP Omega in the DP. He ended up two shy shots to defend his 2024 title, and had to compose himself for more than 30 seconds after being asked about his chances of Ryder Cup.
“I will never give up the Ryder Cup,” finally said Wallace.
With both teams now set up, Europe will reach the 2025 Ryder Cup with 11 of the 12 players dominated over the US in Rome, while the US will campaign a team that includes the first four times.
The Ryder 2025 Cup begins on September 26th.
