With Keegan Bradley unveiling his 12-man American roster, the hosts have firmed into 8/11 favourites with Ladbrokes to reclaim the trophy from Europe, who famously triumphed in Rome in 2023.
We run through the latest Ryder Cup odds, full confirmed team news for USA, predicted Europe selections and highlight where the value might lie ahead of the year’s biggest team event.
The USA are odds-on favourites to regain the Ryder Cup, having dominated the last time they were on home soil at Whistling Straights in 2021.
But Europe were the last team to win on American soil, famously pulling off the ‘Miracle at Medinah’ in 2012 and with a so-called golden generation side set to be packed with talent, the odds are rightly at a knife edge.
Ryder Cup 2025: Confirmed USA line-up
Keegan Bradley surprised some by not picking himself as a wildcard despite being ranked World No11, instead opting for a mix of form players and experienced major winners.
Automatic qualifiers:
Scottie Scheffler
JJ Spaun
Xander Schauffele
Russell Henley
Harris English
Bryson DeChambeau
Captain’s picks:
Justin Thomas
Collin Morikawa
Ben Griffin
Cameron Young
Patrick Cantlay
Sam Burns
Ladbrokes’ Cal Gildart said:
It’s a surprise that Keegan Bradley has opted against picking himself, but the odds suggest that his lineup is still strong enough to maintain the home-team winning streak.
The USA boast four major winners and plenty of firepower, particularly in long-ball hitters like DeChambeau and Young - a key asset at the famously demanding Bethpage Black layout.
Ryder Cup 2025: Confirmed Europe line-up
Captain Luke Donald has stuck with his trusted core from 2023 while integrating fresh talent from the DP World and PGA Tours after confirming his captain's picks on Monday.
Automatic qualifiers:
Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland)
Rob MacIntyre (Scotland)
Tommy Fleetwood (England)
Justin Rose (England)

Tyrell Hatton (England)
Captain's picks
Ludvig Aberg (Sweden)

Team Europe are full of proven Ryder Cup performers, while Aberg and Hojgaard are part of an emerging new generation. Donald’s men will need to overcome a raucous New York crowd, but they showed in Rome they thrive as underdogs.

Ryder Cup 2025 prediction and tips
The USA rightly start as odds-on favourites with home advantage and a powerful team stacked with major pedigree. However, Team Europe have proven time and again they’re more than the sum of their parts - and they’ll be desperate to break a 13-year losing streak on American soil.
The 11/8 on a European win could tempt punters backing momentum and team spirit over rankings, while the 11/1 tie remains a long shot - but not out of the question if matches go the distance.
Expect fireworks, passion and pressure in equal measure when the Ryder Cup tees off at Bethpage Black this September.
