The venue in Bethpage Black in New York has long been famous. After Europe won in Rome two years ago, we appreciate the team’s dream of retaining the trophy.
So it’s no surprise that Luke Donald was captained by Europe. It was a bigger surprise when Keegan Bradley, who was still young in the U.S. election as captain.
But both have now made wildcard choices, so we know the identities of the 24 players who will be participating in the 2025 Ryder Cup.
But how do they measure it? Let’s take a closer look.
Ryder Cup History – Europe
First, we need to study history books. The United States has dominated throughout the history of the game, winning 27 of 44 games.
However, as Europe as the opposition added together, the game became closer, with 12 European wins, 9 American wins and a tie.
In the 21st century, the advantage has swung to Europe: it has won 8 of the last 11 games.
Ryder Cup home advantage…U.S.
There is no doubt that it is difficult to win now.
The visiting team has won only twice in the last 13 games, but both times in Europe (2004 and 2012).
Ryder Cup Experience – Europe
Let’s turn to individuals.
There is only one rookie in Europe and four in the United States. The Americans participated in a total of 15 games and Europe had a total of 32 games.
Ryder Cup Records – Europe
Only three of the 12 American players won over 50% of the points they won. There are six Europeans who do this.
Another advantage of Europe.
Average Age – Lottery
The two teams are very close to their age. In most cases, it’s a game between the two on the 30th birthday, and while the Americans have five players in their 20s, the Europeans have four. The key difference is Justin Rose, who is only in her 40s.
The average age in the United States is 31.5 and Europe is 32.1. Very close.
World Rankings – United States
It’s a complete advantage, it turns to the home court.
The Americans have the world’s number one (Scottie Scheffler), and each player ranks in the top 25 in the world, with an average ranking of 11.
Europe has a second place player (Rory McIlroy), but three of them are outside the top 25. Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton as Leaf golfers for unusual reasons, but Rasmus Hojgaard is out there. The European average is 24.
Main Victory – United States
It’s tight, but the United States has its advantages. Both teams have superstars in the titles of Scheffler and McIlroy.
But the United States has six major champions, while Europe has five. The United States has five European professional champions, only two.
Moreover, the total number in the United States is 13 years old, while in Europe is 10.
Major Victory in 2025 – United States
European McIlroy started the game with his first green jacket. But then, Schefler won the PGA championship and the Open, and JJ Spaun worked in between. 3-1 to the United States.
Formal Player – United States
The Americans raised it again.
Eight U.S. teams won in 2025, with nine finishing at least five top 10.
Nine Europeans also scored at least five top 10, but only seven of them won.
Bethpage Black Form – United States
Eight Americans and seven Europeans attended the event at Bethpage Black.
Irish McIlroy and Shane Lowry both finished eighth in the course – Europe’s biggest effort.
There are also two top ten Americans. Justin Thomas ranked 10th and Patrick Cantlay ranked 3rd.
Very marginal to Americans.
The main form of American nomadism – United States
Bethpage Black hosted both the U.S. Open and PGA championships. Both activities are nomadic activities, and they visited similar venues.
So, how do the two teams compare when playing these championships?
In terms of victory, the American has an advantage because its six players won two of the two tournaments, while only four Europeans competed.
If you watch it on all the results, it’s tight. At more than 33% of the U.S. Open, eight Americans started the top 25, while the PGA Championship started, while seven Europeans achieved that consistency.
Take off the T-shirt – United States
(Note – Statistics are based on PGA Tour Stats and professional LIV performances)
Both teams have elite drivers from the PGA Tour (Scheffler and McIlroy) and one from Liv (DeChambeau and Rahm).
They also have almost elite performers from Tee Box (Xander Schauffele and Ludvig Aberg).
Four of the top 30 players in the home team’s three European teams are in the top 30.
Method – United States
Another advantage for Americans on paper. Again, Schefler is great. So, Collin Morikawa and Spaun. A total of seven players ranked in the top 30. Only five Europeans did this.
Around the Greens – United States
Neither of these thrives on paper at least. The Americans have only the advantage over the two top 30 performers.
Putter – United States
The home team and the most important statistical advantage is the ultimate statistical advantage.
They have seven players in the top 30, with only three Europeans. Additionally, Sam Burns is the highest ranked player and has extensively watched Elite Golf perform best on the green.
in conclusion
This is very familiar.
There is an important American dominance alone, but history reminds us of the total number of Europe usually greater than the sum of its parts. Play the game!
