The greatest spectacle in golf returns tomorrow with the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, and the European side will look to go back-to-back after winning in Rome two years ago.
Can the Americans regain the Cup? Recent history suggests yes, as the home side has been dominant in recent years:
- 2023: Europe 16.5, U.S. 11.5 (Marco Simone Golf & Country Club, Rome, Italy)
- 2021: U.S. 19, Europe 9 (Whistling Straits, Sheboygan, Wisconsin)
- 2018: Europe 17.5, U.S. 10.5 (Le Golf National, Guyancourt, France)
- 2016: U.S. 17 Europe, 11 (Hazeltine National Golf Club, Chaska, Minnesota)
- 2014: Europe 16.5, U.S. 11.5 (Gleneagles Resort, Auchterarder, Scotland)
Europe will look to snap the five-event winning streak for the home team. DraftKings is dealing the U.S. team as a -150 favorite to win the event, with the Euros priced as a +170 underdog as of this writing.
Best Bets for 2025 Ryder Cup
Europe (+170) to Win
Call us unpatriotic, but this bet has already been made at DraftKings. Europe returns 11 of the 12 members from its team that dominated in Rome. In a strange twist, only Nicolai Højgaard is sitting this one out after being supplanted by his twin brother, Rasmus.
Tommy Fleetwood is coming off his first FedEx Cup Title after winning the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta. Fleetwood has become a pivotal player for Europe, with an overall record of 7-3-2 in the Ryder Cup. He’s undefeated in foursomes, going 4-0 in that important format.
Jon Rahm brings the same unblemished record in foursomes, along with a 6-3-3 overall record in the Ryder Cup. Rory McIlroy‘s coming off a banner year after finally winning The Masters, along with Pebble Beach, The Players, and the Irish Open.
Top to bottom, we believe Europe has the stronger side. With Højgaard as the team’s only rookie, the Euros face an American side with four of their own: Russell Henley, J.J. Spaun, Cameron Young, and Ben Griffin. That represents a third of the U.S. team.
Take the underdog European side at nice plus-money odds here. Fade the favored Americans — and the person who made the bet below at DraftKings — because home advantage is not enough to justify these disparate odds.
Top European Points Scorer — Matt Fitzpatrick (+1400)
Matt Fitzpatrick is a savant on the golf course, dutifully taking copious notes during every round played. We love the fact that Fitzpatrick’s lone major win came in the 2022 U.S. Open at Brookline, another northeastern course with loud, jingoistic U.S. fans like Bethpage Black.
Fitzpatrick noted that his parents will not be attending the Ryder Cup, following a less-than-ideal experience at Whistling Straits in 2021. If the Wisconsin fans were that bad, imagine what the crowd abuse will be like in New York this week. Expect the Englishman to grin and bear it.
Fitzpatrick registered four top-10s in his last six starts on the PGA Tour this season. He’s worth a small toss here at juicy odds. It would be a massive boost for us to have him participate and snag a win in tomorrow’s foursomes to start the competition.
