Ryder Cup teams 2025: Full list of USA, European golfers and captain’s picks for Bethpage Black

One month after Tommy Fleetwood was crowned as the 2025 PGA Tour champion, the Englishman will be among the golfers taking the course at the 2025 Ryder Cup. The biennial team competition heads to New York’s Bethpage Black in 2025, and the American group will look to earn the win on its home soil.

The Ryder Cup pits the United States’ best golfers against Europe’s best. The team competition shifts back to the United States in 2025 after Europe captured the win in the last tournament, which was held in Italy. 

As per tradition, Ryder Cup teams are comprised of 13 golfers — one captain, six automatic qualifiers, and six captain’s picks. In 2025, the USA is captained by Keegan Bradley, while Luke Donald is reprising his 2023 role as Europe’s captain.

Though it may seem easy to choose from the world’s best golfers, each captain faced tough decisions when crafting their respective teams. The result is two impressive rosters that will deliver high-level competition throughout the tournament.

Here is what to know about the full teams for the USA and Europe at the 2025 Ryder Cup.
