With a blend of Ryder Cup veterans and exciting new talent, Donald’s team is built on momentum, chemistry, and belief. The squad includes returning heroes from Europe’s 2023 win, along with one new face making his debut in golf’s most intense team contest.

This European side offers a powerful blend of reliable experience and exciting new blood. While stalwarts like McIlroy, Rahm, and Rose bring crucial Ryder Cup know-how, the injection of rising stars such as Åberg and Højgaard points to a bright future for Team Europe.

Following Europe’s emphatic 2023 win in Rome, the team now faces the tough task of winning away at the notoriously rowdy Bethpage Black. With momentum, unity, and a captain who has earned their full trust, the squad will be aiming to rewrite history and win on U.S. soil for the first time since 2012.

Let the countdown to golf’s most electrifying team event begin.
