It's nearly here. Two years after Europe trounced USA in Italy, captain Luke Donald takes Rory McIlroy and co. to New York State as they bid to retain the title and become the first Europe team to win across the pond since 2012.
The hosts are the favourites at 4/61.67, while Europe are 7/42.75 to win and the tie is 11/112.00. It's going to be tough for the visitors but the competition will be intense and the golf thrilling. Here are two player bets - one for each team - based on the form stats which you will find below.
Ryder Cup Player Props Bet #1 - Back Ben Griffin for top US rookie points scorer
Ben Griffin has climbed to 11th in the world after a strong season. The 29-year-old has gained a whopping 181.58 world ranking points - see table below - since the start of April. Only Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy have amassed more points and we think Griffin could put some big points on the board for the US this week.
Griffin has impressed at the Major tournaments too, averaging 70.90 strokes per round. This is his first time playing in the Ryder Cup and he will be keen to impress. Arriving in great form, and keen to perform well for his country on debut, he is a great bet for top US rookie at 16/54.20 points scorer.
Back Ben Griffin top US rookie points scorer
Ryder Cup Player Props Bet #2 - Back Fleetwood for top UK&Ireland points scorer
Tommy Fleetwood will be playing in his fourth Ryder Cup, having previously been part of triumphant European teams in 2023 and 2018. He recently won his first PGA Tour title, with victory at the Tour Championship in Georgia a month ago, and should arrive in New York State feeling confident.
The world number seven has collected 178.69 ranking points since 1 April, the fifth most of any player, and is capable of rising to the occasion for Team Europe. While McIlroy is a worthy favourite to score the most points of any player from the UK and Ireland this week, Fleetwood is an appealing option at 10/34.33.
