Europe Retains 11 Winners for 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage

European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald has named a largely unchanged team for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, retaining 11 of the 12 players from their 2023 victory over the US in Rome. The only roster change is the inclusion of Rasmus Hojgaard, who replaces his twin brother Nicolai. Donald's six wildcard picks include Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm, Sepp Straka, Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Åberg, and Matt Fitzpatrick, with Rahm's selection notable as he competes on the LIV Golf circuit. Donald emphasized the value of continuity and experience, calling the team the largest roster carryover in Ryder Cup history, but acknowledged the challenge of playing away in America, describing it as a "different animal" requiring new tactics. Europe's team aims to secure their first victory on US soil since 2012, facing a strong US squad captained by Keegan Bradley. Donald expressed pride in his squad's quality and stressed that despite the continuity, strategic adjustments will be essential for success at Bethpage.
