Viktor Hovland withdrew due to a recurring neck disc bulge, triggering the rare envelope rule and resulting in a halved point between Europe and the U.S. teams at the Ryder Cup.
- Viktor Hovland pulled out of his singles match on Sunday at the 45th Ryder Cup held at Bethpage Black because of a neck injury.

- Heading into the Sunday singles matches, Europe held a strong 12-5 advantage and needed just two more points to secure the Ryder Cup, despite adjustments to the team lineup caused by injury and substitutions.
