Who will be captain for Team Europe?
Luke Donald followed his 2023 Rome success with a record-breaking week in New York, but Team Europe are unlikely to announce their next captain until 2026.

Justin Rose has been suggested as a possible candidate, while Francesco Molinari – a vice-captain for the last two Ryder Cups – an option.
Who will be captain for Team USA?
Keegan Bradley held the role for the 2025 contest in New York, with the captain for the next edition unlikely to be announced until early next year.
Tiger Woods is among the favourites to take the role, having turned down captaincy in 2025, with the 15-time major champion an eight-time Ryder Cup player and past playing-captain for Team USA in the 2019 Presidents Cup.
How much does home advantage count?
Europe have won the last seven home editions of the Ryder Cup, a run stretching back since 1993.
What is the format of the Ryder Cup?
There are 28 matches played over the three days, under three different types of match play – foursomes, fourballs and singles.
Foursomes sees two golfers from Europe compete against a pair from the USA, with team members alternating between shots and each team using one ball. Four matches are played on Friday morning and four on Saturday morning.
Fourballs also sees two golfers from each team compete, but each player uses his own ball. The lowest score from each pair will count for the score for their side. There are four fourball matches each afternoon for the first two days.
The final day sees all 24 players compete in singles matches, where every member from the European team against a American opponent in a head-to-head contest.
