In a world of divided golf tours, the LIV Golf League and PGA Tour unite for one week at the 2025 Ryder Cup to take down golf in America.

Sort of.

Rory McIlroy and Jon Rahm headline Team Europe at Bethpage Black in Long Island, N.Y., leading a squad of 10 PGA Tour players and two LIV Golf members.

McIlroy had a historic 2025, becoming the fifth men’s golfer to complete the career grand slam with a victory at the Masters in April. He also won at Pebble Beach in January and the Players Championship in March.

Meanwhile, Rahm was crowned the 2025 LIV Golf individual champion despite not winning an event all year. The Spaniard also posted a strong major season with three top-15 finishes.

Joining Rahm from LIV Golf is his Legion XIII teammate Tyrrell Hatton. More on him later.

The other nine players come from the PGA Tour, led by Tommy Fleetwood, Viktor Hovland, and Ludvig Aberg.

Fleetwood ended his seven-year PGA Tour winless drought at the 2025 Tour Championship in August. This is his fourth Ryder Cup, with a 7-3-2 record in his previous three appearances.

Hovland, in his third Ryder Cup, has played all five sessions in his first two events, entering with a 3-4-3 record.

The Norwegian superstar will likely pair with Aberg in foursomes.

The 25-year-old Swede teamed with Hovland in 2023 to deliver a historic 9-and-7 thrashing to world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Brooks Koepka.

The rest of the team was also in Rome for the 2023 Ryder Cup, with 11 of the 12 players returning, and the 12th, making his Ryder Cup debut, is Rasmus Højgaard, replacing his brother, Nicolai, from the team two years ago.

While Rasmus wasn’t one of the 12 players on the team in 2023, he was with the group for the week and isn’t a stranger to this sort of environment.

It’s the first time in the event’s history that all of the surnames for one team have returned two years later.

Here is a look at the odds for each player to lead the team in points.

And despite the win in Rome two years ago, this European squad enters the 2025 Ryder Cup +170 underdogs, a number I have circled and bet already.

Another bet that I have circled is on Hatton, let’s talk about that.

A bet on Hatton at the 2025 Ryder Cup

Playing in the fourth Ryder Cup of his career, Hatton could be in store for a big week.

When Tyrrell Hatton found out he was on the Ryder Cup team he and Jon Rahm had a “tear up” including Tyrrell falling out of bed and waking up in a pool of his own sick.

Hatton has been one of the top Europeans in the world all year, starting 2025 with a win at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic and posting his best finish at a major with a tie for fourth at the U.S. Open.

At the 2023 Ryder Cup, Hatton played in four matches and finished with a record of 3-0-1. Prior to Rome, Hatton had logged just 2.5 points in the first seven Ryder Cup matches of his career.

Now he enters Bethpage as a veteran on the team, with his LIV Golf co-star Rahm by his side for foursomes matches.

The duo went 2-0 in foursomes in Rome in 2023 and last month helped lead their Legion XIV squad to the team championship on LIV Golf.

With Hatton penciled in for both foursomes with Rahm, and the expectation of him to get into at least one of the two fourball sessions, I like the price on him at -150 to record at least two points.

Hatton has only reached this number in one of the three Ryder Cups he has played in, but I am banking on him drawing inspiration from what is expected to be a ruckus American crowd.
