Europe Begins Its Run to the Ryder Cup with Irish Open. Walker Cup Returns to Cypress Point

Luke Donald retained 11 players from the previous winning team, including six captain's picks, aiming to break a 13-year away losing streak against the U.S. in the Ryder Cup.

  • On September 1, European Ryder Cup captain Luke Donald named six captain's picks—Lowry, Rahm, Straka, Hovland, Aberg, and Fitzpatrick—to complete Europe's 12-man team for Bethpage Black from Sept. 26-28.
  • With just one change, Donald preserved much of the Rome 2023 winning side, replacing Nicolai Hojgaard with Rasmus Hojgaard and prompting talk of continuity.
  • Donald highlighted experience and recent form in his selections, choosing Shane Lowry for his third Ryder Cup and including Jon Rahm, a LIV Golf player, for his fourth, while Matt Fitzpatrick was the final pick after a strong summer.
  • The team faces the historical challenge of claiming a rare away victory as Europe aim to retain the Ryder Cup and win on U.S. soil for the first time since the so-called 'Miracle of Medinah' in 2012.
  • Home advantage looms large as the Americans arrive with a strong line-up; U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley completed his side on Aug. 27, anchored by world No.1 Scottie Scheffler, at Bethpage Black Course, Farmingdale, New York, known for its stern test and raucous galleries.
