Luke Donald Announces Ryder Cup 2025 Team Europe Captain’s Picks

The 2025 Ryder Cup approaches with Team Europe, led by returning captain Luke Donald, aiming for a rare victory at Bethpage Black in New York against Team USA. Europe boasts strong contenders like Rory McIlroy, who secured a career grand slam with his Masters win, and Tommy Fleetwood, who claimed the FedEx Cup. Meanwhile, Team USA's captain Keegan Bradley chose not to pick himself as a playing captain, selecting six wildcards including Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa, completing a formidable home team. Luke Donald will announce his six captain's picks for Europe, with six players already qualified automatically, including Robert MacIntyre and Tyrrell Hatton. The picks are highly anticipated, with speculation that only one change from the previous victorious team at Marco Simone is expected, notably Rasmus Hojgaard likely replacing his twin Nicolai. The Ryder Cup will take place from September 26–28, with Luke Donald's picks announced live on multiple platforms on September 1.
