The 45th edition of the Ryder Cup is set up to be the biggest one yet, with Team USA and Team Europe descending on Bethpage Black<\/a> in New York.<\/p>\n

For 2025, Team USA see six changes to the team that played in Rome back in 2023<\/a>, while Europe’s 12-man squad<\/a> has seen Nicolai Hojgaard replaced by his twin brother, Rasmus.<\/p>\n

Pre-2006, players in foursomes would only be able to use one model of golf ball but, since then, the one ball rule hasn’t been in effect<\/a>, which is a big relief for players involved.<\/p>\n

The reason is due to the fact that, at the Ryder Cup, the 24 men featuring will be using various models and manufacturers, with several different golf balls on show in New York.<\/p>\n

The most popular golf ball at the Ryder Cup is the Titleist Pro V1x<\/a>, which is used by seven players. These are Russell Henley, Justin Thomas, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Rose, Tyrrell Hatton, Ludvig Aberg and Matt Fitzpatrick.<\/p>\n

Behind the Pro V1x is its sibling, the Pro V1, which is used by four players. Difference-wise, the Pro V1 provides a lower flight and produces less spin with a softer feel, while the Pro V1x is designed to fly higher, with more spin and firmer feel.<\/p>\n

Callaway’s Chrome Tour X<\/a> is third with three players using it, while the Srixon Z-Star XV has two users and the Titleist Pro V1x Double Dot is a prototype model that has made its way into the bags of Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Young.<\/p>\n
