How the United States can win the 2025 Ryder Cup

Win the Opening Session

The U.S. has typically fared well Friday morning of the Ryder Cup – until the 2023 edition at Marco Simone where they fell 4-0 in just four hours. A repeat of such a start cannot happen on home soil, especially with historical precedents showing strong openings lead to success.

Utilize the Home Crowd to Suffocate Europeans

The Americans need to harness the energy from New York sports fans to energize them and intimidate the European team. Keeping the home crowd engaged will be crucial in sustaining performance throughout the tournament.

“The fans are what make this event special,” said Xander Schauffele. “You need them to help get the juices flowing for the Ryder Cup.”

Star Players Must Show Up

Europe has a knack for having their key players deliver regardless of their form. For the U.S. to contend, they will also rely heavily on contributions from players like Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, and Justin Thomas, who have the experience to rise to the occasion.

Embrace the Rookies

Including rookies in the team strategy can pay dividends. Players like Russell Henley, J.J. Spaun, Ben Griffin, and Cameron Young have been exceptionally in form and could turn out to be key members of the team.

Conclusion

If the U.S. can keep pace with the momentum swings typical of Ryder Cups, they stand a strong chance to reclaim glory at Bethpage Black.
