Based off history I reluctantly say Europe wins on home turf by 2 points
Im looking for Ray Finkle.... and a clean pair of shorts. Im just a very big Finkle fan. This is my Graceland, sir.

USA figures it out and wins for first time in 30 years over seas! 15-13 good guys.

Europe. And it will serve the USA right. The good ol boy system that is leaving Bryson and Keegan home is ridiculous.

And Bryson is playing decent right now

USA depth wins out

Europe is top heavy, but everything you read is these guys aren't going to be able to play all 5 matches. That is massive advantage to the good guys.

Sure hope the arrogance of not selecting the best doesn't hurt the US. DJ & Bryson should have both been on that team at the very least.

I'm not optimistic when you have guys like Wyndham Clark saying he should beat Rory.

This a weak European field on paper.

USA roster could've been better, but this "should" be a USA win, regardless of host site.

They knew the consequences of joining a lesser tour that didn't have RC qualifying points. Not making the team is no one's fault but their own.

USA have lost to more than a few "weak on paper" Europe teams, so I don't think that means much of anything, especially playing in Europe (assuming the faithful travel to Italy like they have to more traditional Euro locations). I fully expect USA to lose and will consider a win a very nice surprise upset.

I don't understand this take...IMO, this is the best Euro team in a while. Rory , Rham, and Hovland are currently the 3 best golfers on the planet.

Debatable that they are the 3 best.

It's very top heavy IMO. Yes the top 3 are awesome but you get to players 8-12 and I like the US team much more. Two of our rookies are major Champs this year.

This year's Ryder Cup will come down to putting and who can stay out of the rough the best. Team Europe is coming into the event in good form but Team USA does have some experienced and proven partner teams like Jordan/JT and Xander/Cantlay that won't be fazed by the boisterous crowds.

Any thoughts on wagers?

Ask Phil. He probably bet the farm on Team Europe to win.

Predictions:

Scheffler / Koepka will be a formidable team.
Scheffler with new putter grip and Kenyon coaching will be clutch with the flat stick.
Harman will be undefeated.
JT will be a beast this week.

Rahm (big fan of) will be wild off the tee.
Aberg will be solid and future superstar for Euro's.

USA 15.5 Eur 12.5

Will revisit after - and raise a champagne glass to y'all or eat crow.

Love the Ryder Cup, one of the top five events in sports.

He probably didn't fly with the team. He was playing in the LIV event.

after the creation of LIV I have a hard time getting excited about the Ryder Cup event. I probably wont even watch it.

We need Deluxe's thoughts on the Ryder Cup this week.

Why?

because the Ryder Cup is no longer a true test of the best golfers from each country competing against each other.
Bunk Moreland

I'll still catch as much as I can but the fields definitely aren't as stacked. Hopefully this is just a transition period in pro golf and it all gets sorted out by the next one.

Serious question, who from LIV should be on either team. I could hear an argument for Bryson, but that's basically it. Maybe Sergio for Europe.
cab559

Easily Sergio. Best Ryder Cup player ever.

Also Bryson, DJ, and Pieters for Euro.

That's really the only ones worth considering.

One could argue that Ryder Cup hasn't been about the best players on each side of the pond playing against each other, ever. Captains get picks and grab who they want, not always who is playing best. Hell, Poulter played a ton over the years despite below average previous results in regular tour stops.

Yeah. The goal has never been to take the 12 guys playing the best right this second. Fit has always played a role. And every time there are close calls and guys that were on the outside looking in and have a gripe. This year doesn't seem any different.
