Europe’s players just wrapped up their last event at the BMW PGA Championship. Their form gave both hope and warning signs ahead of the clash with the United States.
This Ryder Cup will be one of the biggest in history. The venue at Bethpage Black is known for its brutal setup and passionate crowds. Europe will arrive led by Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Viktor Hovland. The Americans will count on world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and a strong home advantage.
Europe’s Final Test Before Ryder Cup 2025
At Wentworth, 11 European team members teed it up at the BMW PGA Championship. Alex Noren, a Vice Captain, won the event in a playoff against Adrien Saddier. But the focus was on those heading to Bethpage.
Viktor Hovland looked sharp, finishing tied fifth with steady play. Tyrrell Hatton matched that position after a brilliant third-round 64. Matt Fitzpatrick also tied for fifth, showing strong approach play. Jon Rahm improved as the week went on, closing with a 66 for a tie at 13th. Rory McIlroy saved his best for last, finishing with a 65 and eagle on the final hole.
Not all were in form. Ludvig Åberg started hot but faded to 20th. Shane Lowry and Tommy Fleetwood tied for 46th. Justin Rose dropped back to 61st after a poor weekend. Robert MacIntyre finished tied 74th, while Rasmus Højgaard missed the cut.
Key Storylines for Ryder Cup 2025
Europe’s strength lies in its leaders. McIlroy, Rahm, and Hovland are all in the top five of the world rankings. Their recent play suggests they are ready to face the American stars. Hatton and Fitzpatrick also bring strong recent form.
The concern lies with rookies and inconsistent players. Højgaard will make his debut, but his missed cut raises questions. MacIntyre has yet to show his best on tough layouts. Still, captain Luke Donald will lean on the experience of Rose, Lowry, and Fleetwood.
According to BBC and Reuters, the USA team is stacked with power. Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, and Collin Morikawa bring major-winning pedigree. Playing on home soil, they will have the crowd behind them. Europe will need unity and clutch putting to win.
The countdown is almost over. Ryder Cup 2025 begins Friday. Bethpage Black will be loud, tense, and historic. Europe and USA are ready for battle.
