Ryder Cup Rosters Set for USA, Europe at Bethpage Black

The 2025 Ryder Cup teams have been finalized for the competition taking place at Bethpage Black in New York from September 26-28, with Team USA captained by Keegan Bradley and Team Europe led by Luke Donald. Team USA features automatic qualifiers like Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, and Xander Schauffele, with Bradley selecting Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, and others as captain's picks, notably choosing not to include himself as a player. Team Europe returns 11 of the 12 players from their 2023 winning squad, including stars Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, and Jon Rahm, with Rasmus Hojgaard replacing his twin brother Nicolai as the sole rookie. European captain Luke Donald emphasized the team's chemistry and continuity, seeking to defend their last dominant Ryder Cup victory in Italy, while the Americans aim for revenge after recent struggles in Europe. McIlroy, the 2025 Masters champion, is highlighted as a key leader for Europe, bringing passion and experience to the event. The Ryder Cup will be broadcast on NBC networks, with a full TV schedule forthcoming.
