Team USA have won the last two editions of the Ryder Cup on home soil. That includes a dominant success in Wisconsin in 2021. However, the European team recorded one of the most historic victories in Ryder Cup history on U.S. soil back in 2012, coming back from a 10-6 deficit on the final day.
Ryder Cup 2025 Picks
One of the most exciting events in the whole of sport gets underway on Friday, and the opening day could be crucial in determining the eventual winner. The USA will need to make a faster start than they did in Italy in 2023, as the Europeans dominated the opening two days to pull away.
Doing that on American soil will be a much more challenging assignment. However, with the experience of the 2023 edition under their belt, a tense win for Team Europe could be an interesting angle.
