What does Rahm expect from New York fans in 2025 Ryder Cup

Rahm was in the unusual position to need to choose a captain to make the 2025 Ryder Cup team. But his official election from Donald on Monday was in doubt.

Rahm is undoubtedly one of the best European players. Bone champion twice It is likely that he would be easily qualified automatically for the team if he did not play for Liv Golf.

During his Monday captain’s press conference, Rahm talked about how he competed in front of one -sided crowds in Whistling Straits should help him prepare for everything he expects at Bethpage Black later this month.

“I will not lie and say that I have been perfect with dealing with my emotions with the crowds in the past,” Rahm began. “But I think I have experienced the more, not only in Ryder Cup, but also in regular events, as well as not the easier, but the better I understand how to treat things.”

He also said the experience in Whistling Straits taught him that the Ryder Cup is more like other team sports than regular pro -golf events.

“Last time in Whistling Straits, I think it’s a team event knowing that I will make the crowd at home against me, feeling that it is what happens in any other sport, or not in Europe, Sh.BA and every place in the world when you are playing rivals and you go to a game away, the crowd will be against you,” Rahm said. “I think simply by realizing that I know it will happen and I know I will hear a lot of things I don’t like.”

Rahm used Champions League As an example, saying, “You think of a championship final, if anyone was able to cut it in their country, there would be a great inequality for the crowd.

He went on, “I try to base myself, knowing this, okay, starting 95 percent of fans there wanting me to lose and they will try harder to cheer against us and say things we don’t like.”

A key, Rahm explained, is to get the environment in step and is even trying to use “harmful” comments from fans to your advantage.

“But at the same time, there are some creative people there that are fun and if you can use some of the funny things they say, though they can be harmful in a good way, you can almost use that energy to help you,” Rahm said. “So I’m really looking forward to. Plus, I’ll say, the best people in New Yorkrs are many times quite similar in character, and usually when I went to that part of the country I got a lot, very well and really did, really well in the northeast, so I’m looking forward to it.”
