Every edition, the same question looms: Who will win — Team USA or Team Europe? Let’s dig in.
🇺🇸 Team USA vs 🇪🇺 Team Europe — The Case For Each
The American Threat
-
The U.S. side is deep, powerful, and built to strike. When their long hitters and elite putters are firing, they can steamroll through matches.
-
They often start fast under pressure, and in a condensed team format, momentum is king.
The European Edge
-
Europe’s success in Ryder Cups is partly born of resilience, chemistry, and adaptability.
-
Playing in front of passionate crowds—and under the weight of expectation—Europeans often seem to elevate rather than buckle.
-
The home-course or crowd dynamics can play a pivotal role in close contests.
My Pick
I’m leaning Team Europe this year. The emotional fuel from the crowd, their ability to claw back under pressure, and some key pairings give them the edge in my eyes. That said, if Team USA nails their start and keeps the gas on in foursomes and four-ball, they could absolutely dominate.
The Unsung Heroes: Meet the Caddies
While the players get most of the attention, Ryder Cup caddies are the silent generals—making reads, managing momentum, and delivering calm in chaos.
