THE RYDER CUP 2025

Nice win at the Procore for Scotty. All 10 Americans made the cut. Ben Griffin is my choice for the Ian Poulter role for the US.
There was a Patrick Reed sighting at the BMW. Top 5
And it all comes down to this one week from Friday
 
Thanks for the invite and it's great to be here with passionate and smart fans! Here's the potential matchups that intrigue me the most!

Scottie Scheffler vs Jon Rahm:
Two of the best tee-to-green players in the world. Power, precision, and intensity.
Bryson DeChambeau vs Rory McIlroy
Big hitters, big personalities. Expect fireworks off the tee and tension in the crowd.
Justin Thomas vs Viktor Hovland
JT’s Ryder Cup fire vs Hovland’s icy consistency. A clash of clutch vs calm.
Collin Morikawa vs Matt Fitzpatrick
Iron play masters. Could be a surgical duel of ball-striking brilliance.
Xander Schauffele / Patrick Cantlay vs Fleetwood / Hatton
Proven pairings with chemistry. Could be the most strategic and emotional foursomes match.
Cameron Young vs Ludvig Aberg
Rising stars with fearless games. A glimpse into golf’s future.

What do you think @EverettChris ???

5 reasons Team USA wins:

Elite Ball Strikers - Scottie, Xander, and Colin are the best tee to green players which is tailor made for Bethpage challenges
Home course advantage - The New York crowd is unashamedly Team USA and will make Team Europe feel every missed shot. Bethpage Black is a loud, over aggressive, power driven American style course not sissy links style
Experience - Seven members of the existing team whooped Team Europes ass back in 2021. These guys are 16-4-5 in Ryder Cup play
Depth and Versatility - Add Cameron Young and Ben Griffin to a stacked lineup and there’s really no weaknesses. This depth will allow for better pairings than the US has had in the past
Clutch Putting and Match Play Pedigree: Sam Burns leads the PGA Tour in strokes gained putting. Cantlay is a Ryder cup closer.

5 reasons why Team Europe Wins
Team Chemistry and Continuity
Eleven of the twelve players were part of Europe’s 2023 win in Rome. Familiar pairings like Fleetwood & Rose and McIlroy & Åberg bring cohesion and trust, which are vital in team formats.
Foursomes Strength
Europe traditionally excels in alternate shot formats. Players like Fitzpatrick, Rose, and Straka thrive on accuracy and consistency, which are key at Bethpage.
Star Power at the Top
Jon Rahm, Viktor Hovland, and Rory McIlroy are all capable of beating anyone in the world. If two of them get hot, Europe can flip entire sessions and build momentum.
Underdog Mentality and Resilience
Europe often performs best when underestimated. Handling the hostile New York crowd and pressure could fuel emotional players like Hatton and Lowry to elevate their games.
Strategic Pairings and Balance
Captain Luke Donald has built a team with a mix of youth and experience. His likely use of proven partnerships early, followed by strategic integration of rookies, could keep Europe competitive throughout the event.
 
Not that I’m rooting for it, but the Ryder Cup is more fun when Europe wins, just for all of the drama that comes out after within the US team.
 
That 2014 disaster at Medinah was that moment for you then Bob.
I remember US fans were livid as Lefty was cheering Justin Rose for making shots against him (as they should). What a tool.

2012 was Medina. 2014 was GlenEagleswhere the US team got waxed and turned on each other and blamed the rain gear they got. Paris had the whole DJ/Brooks drunken brawl at the after party and Patrick Reed’s wife hurling insults at the team. I’m telling you, it’s more fun when the US loses.
 
Lefty ripped Watson whatever year that was
Zinger is the best captain they ever had because in 08 without Tiger he won at Valhalla when Europe had won 5 of 6 and was getting boring
16 at Hazeltine with Reed against Rory was legendary
It can be cool when the ol US wins too
Been trading blowouts since
 
That Reed vs Rory match for like 9 holes was the best match I had ever seen. Reed actually was fun to watch at the Ryder Cup. At least he played with some fire.
