Ryder Cup standings: Who will play at Bethpage in 2025?

It’s time for players to get their heads down and begin on the road to the 2025 Ryder Cup.

Many players dream of playing in this biennial team match play event between Europe and the USA, which Europe most recently won convincingly in Italy in 2023.

This extended America’s winless run away from home in the Ryder Cup, which dates back to 1993. Europe last won on the road at Medinah Country Club in 2012. It is becoming increasingly difficult to win this event away from home, as only one away team has won it since 2006.

Luke Donald’s Europe will look to buck the trend against Keegan Bradley’s Team USA. On August 6, the qualification criteria for European players was announced in the form of a significant shake-up which will now see all players as part of one points list, as opposed to the old system that featured a World Points List and a European Points List.

The points allocation for each event a European player competes in is stated in the below table. For a player to be eligible to represent the continent, they must be European and a member of the DP World Tour.

The qualification process began on August 29 and will last until August 24, 2025. For the rest of the calendar year, points can only be earned on the DP World Tour. Six players will qualify automatically, and then Donald will choose six more players.

Below is each of the current points lists for Team Europe and USA on the Ryder Cup website. It is important to note that as per the Ryder Cup website, the 2025 Ryder Cup points system for Team USA will be determined at a later date, as will the amount of Captain’s picks Bradley will have.
