Ryder Cup Europe today confirmed the qualification process for the 2025 European Ryder Cup team which will defend the trophy against the United States at Bethpage in New York from September 26-28, 2025.

Ryder Cup Points List for Qualification

In a significant change from previous years – an alteration ratified by the DP World Tour’s Tournament Committee – there will be only one Ryder Cup Points List operational in the 2024/2025 qualification period, using points earned in accordance with a new tournament banding structure implemented by Ryder Cup Europe in consultation with Captain Luke Donald.

 The below table outlines the total points available at each tournament in each defined category.

Tournament CategoryPoints available
Major Championships5,000 points
2025 PGA TOUR Signature Events / The Players / FedExCup Playoffs3,000 points
DP World Tour Rolex Series Events2,000 points
2025 PGA TOUR Regular FedExCup Events2,000 points
DP World Tour ‘Back 9’ Events1,500 points
DP World Tour ‘Global Series’ Events1,000 points
2025 PGA TOUR ‘Opposite Field’ Events1,000 points

This represents an amalgamation of and a replacement for the two former lists utilised in previous qualification campaigns; ie: the World Points List (which was based on Official World Golf Ranking points accrued during the qualifying period) and the European Points List (which was based on Race to Dubai Ranking points accrued during the qualifying period).

Elements of the process which have not changed are:

  • To be eligible to be a member of the 2025 European Ryder Cup team, a player must (i) be European (defined in accordance with the IGF National policy) and (ii) be in membership of the DP World Tour.
  • The team will comprise the top six qualified players (from the new Ryder Cup Points List) and six Captain’s Picks.

The qualification process for the 2025 European Ryder Cup team will begin at the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo at The Belfry from August 29 – September 1, 2024 – a tournament host and venue synonymous with Ryder Cup success, the English venue having played host to two European triumphs (1985 and 2002) and a tied match in 1989 to retain the trophy; Faldo having played in both 1985 and 1989.

The qualification process will end at the DP World Tour tournament which concludes on Sunday August 24, 2025, a tournament which will be confirmed when the DP World Tour outlines its full 2025 schedule next month.

Other important points to note in relation to the qualifying process are as follows: 

  • In 2024, from the start of the qualifying campaign (August 29) through to the end of the calendar year, the only place to earn Ryder Cup points will be from events on the DP World Tour – ie: the Back 9, the DP World Tour Play-Offs and the Opening Swing events of the 2025 season.
  • Ryder Cup points will only be eligible to be earned in PGA TOUR events from January 1, 2025, until Sunday August 17, 2025.
  • No points will be allocated to any events scheduled against Rolex Series events (as per the 2023 qualification campaign) other than in the 2025 ISCO Championship on the PGA TOUR, played opposite the Genesis Scottish Open.
  • Points will be allocated to The Zurich Classic on the PGA TOUR with 50% of each position being allocated to each player in the team, but only if both players are European.

European Captain Luke Donald said: “I am delighted to be able to confirm the details of the qualification process for our 2025 Ryder Cup team. A lot of work has gone on behind the scenes to get to this point and everything is now focused on doing all we can to retain the trophy in New York next September.”

Guy Kinnings, CEO of PGA European Tour, the Managing Partner of Ryder Cup Europe LLP, said: “This is a major milestone moment in our journey to the 2025 Ryder Cup. This is without question a much cleaner and simpler qualification system than the ones utilised in previous years and we thank Luke and his Vice Captains Edoardo Molinari and Thomas Bjþrn for their vital input over the past few months.”

Global golf footwear pioneers, ECCO GOLF, have once again pushed the boundaries of comfort, style and innovation with the introduction of the sneaker-style ECCO GOLF STREET 720 as part of the Danish brand’s Autumn/Winter 2024 collection.

A golf shoe designed to be worn all day and night, the fresh new model offers big city vibes with a birdie mentality, making it perfect for a night out on the town or a quick 9 holes – or both!

Ecco Golf: Sneaker-sytle Street 720 for on and off the course

Based on a sneaker from ECCO’s lifestyle collection, the new ECCO GOLF STREET 720 represents an invitation to the game for everyone, making it simple to lace up, get out on the course, and then head out to enjoy some post-round vibes. With the E-DTSℱ TWIST outsole added for multi-directional traction, you can play now and play anywhere, anytime, on and off the course. Sporty, smooth and perforated ECCO leather elevates the urban, versatile look of the hybrid shoe for men and women that comes in a choice of colourways, including all-white and colour-block styles.

From the streets to the fairways, your feet will stay dry and comfortable with GORE-TEX Surround Ÿ  for waterproof protection and breathability, along with innovative midsole channels that enable air ventilation. While the ECCO GOLF STREET 720 looks like a sneaker, it performs like a golf shoe, with technical features including enhanced stability.

Timo Vollrath, Head of Global Marketing at ECCO GOLF, commented: “We are always looking to push the boundaries between what is considered a golf shoe and a shoe that can be worn away from the course – and with STREET 720 we have taken those lines and blurred them even further!

“This design is truly an introduction to the game for anyone who sees golf and lifestyle as two things that go-hand-in hand, and we are excited to see the STREET 720 on fairways and in cities across the world. It’s a fresh new design with the performance qualities that are synonymous with ECCO shoes, and we are proud to continue to drive forward innovation in golf shoe design.”

Seeing Michael Phelps at the 2024 Olympics is no big surprise. Seeing Michael Phelps at the Olympic golf tournament is perhaps more of a surprise. The record-breaking swimmer’s passion for golf is well known.

The Olympic golf tournament 2024 live

2024 Olympics: Michael Phelps at the Golf Tournament

During his visit to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, he is not spending his time exclusively in the Aquatic Centre, which he has probably seen more than enough of in his life, but is also enjoying the fresh air outside on the golf course at Le Golf National.

Michael Phelps has long been an avid golfer and also an enthusiastic golf fan, having followed Tier Woods live at Augusta National when he won the Masters in 2019, for example. Since ending his active career after the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio, he has had all the more time to devote to this other sport. But even before that, he was excellent with the club. Proof A: This incredible putt from 48 metres at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship 2012.

Golf at the Olympics 2028 Will Be Played In Riviera Country Club – Maybe Even as Mixed Event?

Confirmation! It was expected anyway, and now the International Golf Federation (IGF) has made it official in the run-up to Paris: the Olympic golf tournaments of the 2028 Los Angeles Games will be held at the Riviera Country Club, which is best known as the venue for Tiger Woods’ Genesis Invitational. The ensemble in the west of the Californian megalopolis has already been an Olympic stage – at the 1932 Games, the tenth in the modern era and the first in the City of Angels. Back then, however, the Riviera Equestrian Club and the neighbouring grounds of the golf club, which was founded in 1926, hosted all the equestrian competitions.

Mixed Golf Event for the Olympics 2028?

According to the World Golf Federation, Riviera will finally host the long-awaited third golf competition. In Paris, IGF Secretary General Antony Scanlon spoke of a mixed competition over 36 holes for 16 teams from the two 60-player fields, with a strokeplay and a best-ball round. The IGF proposal has been submitted to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and, according to Scanlon, in-depth discussions are planned for this week. So the chances are good for Minjee and Min Woo Lee to play for Olympic golf honours not only as brother and sister, but also as a team in four years’ time.

Tiger Woods on the Ryder Cup “I Wouldn’t Be Doing the Captaincy Justice”

Tiger Woods is in high demand. Not only from fans and journalists, who will be following his every move at The Open Championship 2024, but also in official capacities. So much in demand, in fact, that he has now had to issue a clear cancellation on one point: the Ryder Cup.

Tiger Woods: ‘You only have so many hours in the day’

The decision was very difficult for me to make,’ said Woods at his press conference during The Open Championship. The PGA of America had been waiting a long time to see whether the 15-time major winner would lead the American team in New York after all. But the 48-year-old simply doesn’t have the time.

‘My time has been so loaded with the Tour and everything and what we’re trying to accomplish,’ he explained. ‘I’m on so many different subcommittees that it just takes so much time in the day, and I’m always on calls.’

‘I just didn’t feel like I could do the job properly. I couldn’t devote the time. I barely had enough time to do what I’m doing right now, and add in the TGL starts next year, as well as the Ryder Cup. You add all that together and then with our negotiations with the PIF, all that concurrently going on at exactly the same time, there’s only so many hours in the day.’

‘I just didn’t feel like I would be doing the captaincy or the players in Team USA justice if I was the captain with everything that I have to do.’

The Open Championship 2024 – Live Blog

‘That way I can give back to the game in a different way’

A large part of his time is taken up by work for the tour and negotiations with the PIF. Woods never imagined that he would be so involved in the administrative side of things. ‘It’s enjoyable in the sense that I’m able to help the Tour and I’m able to help the next generation of players. Now the players that are coming up now, they have equity in the Tour, and that’s never been done in any major sport in history. It’s a way of me giving back to the game in a different way other than just playing.’ Even if he sometimes wishes he was out on the golf course rather than sitting in a three-hour sub-committee meeting.

The effort seems to be paying off, because he is also happy with the direction in which the negotiations are developing, says Woods. ‘I can tell you that we are making progress,’ he continues, even if he cannot go into details. ‘It’s evolving each and every day. There’s e-mails and chains and texts and ideas that we bounce back and forth from both sides. There’s a good interchange of ideas and thoughts of how the game could look like going forward. It’s just a matter of putting that all together legally. Obviously we have the DOJ with oversight looking into that as well and making sure that we don’t do anything improperly there, as well, but also making sure that all the players benefit from this as well as everyone who’s involved. They want to make money as well. They want to make that return.’

‘We’re now into not just charitable endeavors, we’re into a for-profit model. So we have to make returns.’

‘I will play as long as I feel I can still win the tournament’

And in addition to PIF, PGA and TGL, there is of course Tiger’s own golf game. Because Woods is not yet ready to end the practical part of his career. Only recently, Colin Montgomery called on him to hang up his golf clubs. ‘He didn’t seem to enjoy a single shot at Pinehurst and you think, ‘What the hell is he doing there?’ He’s coming to Troon and he won’t enjoy it there either,’ predicted the 31-time DP World Tour winner, who has a very special connection to Troon, in an interview with the Times of London. ‘There’s a time for all sportsmen to say goodbye, but it’s very difficult to tell Tiger it’s time to go,’ he said. ‘Obviously he still believes he can win. We are more realistic.’

Woods confirms the assumption: ‘I’ll play as long as I can play and I feel I can still win the tournament,’ but also has a very specific answer to Montgomery: ’Well, as a former champion, I’m exempt until I’m 60. Colin is not. He’s not a former champion, so he’s not exempt. So he doesn’t have the ability to make that decision. I do.’ Woods will end his career on his own terms and won’t let Colin Montgomery, a broken back or a car accident dictate the end.

PGA Tour: Rookie Leads With Round of 59

Shots are being fired low at the PGA Tour’s John Deere Classic. Defending champion Sepp Straka started with a round of 66 and is still only in 27th place, while the leader Hayden Springer celebrated the fourth of July with his very own fireworks: a round of 59 and still only matching the course record.

All Scores at the John Deere Classic

PGA Tour: With an eagle-birdie finish to 59

Springer has only been on the PGA Tour since this year and can already count himself among an elite circle of players who have finished a round with fewer than 60 strokes. There have been a total of 14 rounds under 60, 13 including Springer with a 59 and Jim Furyk with a 58. Springer started with an eagle on hole 2 and followed it up with six birdies on the front nine alone. The birdie fireworks then dried up a little on the back nine. It wasn’t until the 15th that he gained a stroke to get to nine under par, by which time the prospect of a 59 was already close. But he kept his chances alive with an eagle hole-out on the 17th and completed the rare result with a birdie on the 18th.

“It’s like something you dream of, right?”, Springer said after his round. “We all want to go out and shoot 59. You don’t ever really — I don’t know how many chances I’ll ever get at doing that again. To pull it off and hole that shot on 17 and give myself a putt at it and make the putt on 18 was pretty special.”

Paul Goydos already managed a round of 59 at the John Deere Classic in 2010, but the course was played as a par 70 on that occasion.

Celebrities Come Together For Charity ‘Battle of Stars’ in Mallorca

Some of the biggest names in sport and entertainment came together against ALS and multiple sclerosis in the latest edition of the ‘Battle of the Stars’ last week.

‘Battle of Stars’ in Mallorca’s Pula Golf Resort

The three-day event, which was once again staged at Mallorca’s Pula Golf Resort and Son Servera Golf Club, was won by former FC Barcelona football director and RCD Mallorca president Matheu Alemany – but victory was secondary to the money raised for both causes.

Football icons including Gabriel Batistuta, John Arne Riise, Marcos Alonso, Alain Boghossain, Uli Stielike and more teed off across two days of spirited competition, with many contestants returning from years past.

Fittingly for a Spanish event, a strong contingent of LaLiga EA Sports legends was in attendance, including Miguel Ángel Nadal, Bernd Schuster, Albert Riera, Manu Trigueros and former Liverpool goalkeeper Pepe Reina, while prolific ex-striker Julio Salinas came in second place. Former AC Milan stars Mauro Tassotti, Roberto Donadoni and Stefano Nava flew the flag for Italy.

Away from the sporting world, stars including defending champion and musician David Otero, bullfighter Pepín Liria and actress Verónica Mengod stepped up to the tee – as did Danish businessman Flemming
Østergaard, former chairman of the company that owns FC Copenhagen.

While the golf provided endless entertainment, the Battle of Stars’ true purpose was never far from the spotlight. This year, the event was in support of the fight against two conditions that affect millions of
people worldwide: ALS – which stands for Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis – and multiple sclerosis.

One special guest was former footballer and manager – and FC Sevilla legend – Juan Carlos UnzuĂ©, who announced in June 2020 that he had been diagnosed with ALS. Speaking at the event, Carlos UnzuĂ©
highlighted the power of sport and its stars as a voice to raise awareness in the battle against both diseases.

“All public demonstrations can help if they make you think,” said Carlos UnzuĂ©. “When we look in the mirror, we cannot deceive ourselves. If we have a clear conscience, we will be happy with ourselves.”

“I have always believed in people, but now I am experiencing it on a very high level. It’s a great capacity that people have to adapt and overcome very complicated situations.”

Raising money and awareness in the fight against ALS and multiple sclerosis

It wasn’t just famous faces enjoying the two championship courses, with a visit from the users of the Sa Riera Occupational Centre, a mental health centre in Palma, on Thursday. The users took part in a clinic by Pula Golf Academy and took photos with the participating stars, also showing their support by delivering products they had built in the centre’s workshops for people with ALS and multiple sclerosis.
On Friday, a number of people with ALS visited Son Servera to watch the action unfold.

Arnau Sala, general manager at Pula Golf Resort, said: “Developing the Battle of Stars is something we are extremely proud of at Pula and hosting the event alongside Son Servera is always one of the
highlights of our year.

“Of course, thanks must go to the stars, but also to the teams at both venues and everyone who supported the event and made it such a success.

“It’s important not to forget that we are doing this to raise money and awareness in the fight against ALS and multiple sclerosis, in the hope that we can help make a difference that will one day change
millions of lives.”

Sponsorship was provided by tournament Mallorca’s Cap Vermell Grand Hotel, Banco Santander, the Fundació Mallorca Turisme and estate agent Inmobiliaria Sa Coma.

Before the Battle of Stars brought global celebrities to Pula Golf Resort, it was a happy hunting ground for some of the world’s finest golfers. The JosĂ© MarĂ­a OlazĂĄbal-designed course is a seven-time host on the DP World Tour and has been graced by the likes of Henrik Stenson, Sergio GarcĂ­a and Paul McGinley. The resort also boasts 31 rooms and suites for guests, extensive practice facilities and the rustic S’Era de Pula restaurant.

Bryson DeChambeau Wins US Open 2024 in Thrilling Final

Bryson DeChambeau wins his second US Open after holding off Rory McIlroy at Pinehurst No. 2. The day didn’t start promising for the American, whose lead was reduced to two shots by a fast birdie by McIlroy. DeChambeaus first bogey on 4 came at the same time as McIlroys dropped shot in 5, keeping them in position.

But the Northern Irishman really started to get dangerous around the turn when he closed the distance with back to back birdies and even took the lead hole 12. DeChambeau made a costly mistake on 15 but kept a strong finish while McIlroy crumbled and missed two crucial short putts on the last three holes. Meanwhile, DeChambeau saved par from a botched tee shot on the last hole, saving also his second major victory.

MIKE TIRICO: Congratulations, Bryson. I heard you wanted to wear that hat. We’ll talk about Payne Stewart and his memory and legacy in a second.

First off, you’re reunited with this trophy. Let’s discuss when you won in 2020 at Winged Foot. Your walk up 18 was just polite applause like a Thursday morning out on Tour. You didn’t have all the fans. That was during COVID. You were engaged with the fans unlike any golfer we’ve seen before. What was the connection with the fans and you this week? Why was it so powerful for you?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Well, Mike, first off, I want to say happy Father’s Day to every father out there. Unfortunately my dad passed a couple years ago, and this one is for him.

Also to Payne Stewart, he was the reason why I went to SMU. He’s the reason why I wore the cap. Pony up, that’s right. Go SMU. Wow. I just can’t thank you guys enough for all the support this week. You guys have meant the world to me. You are the best fans in the world, and I can’t thank you enough. What a group of people.

To my team that’s growing quite a bit and to my best friends and the people that I love the most, I’m surprised you’re here — not really surprised, but I can’t thank you enough for being here. You guys mean the world to me, and I would not be here without you guys. I really appreciate it, team. Thank you, all.

MIKE TIRICO: You have a lead, get to the 13th tee, you’re two back. Obviously with where you were and Rory was, you guys could keep an eye on what was going on. Give me your mindset on 13 tee and how you found the way to steer it home.

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: Man, I felt like I was hitting the driver pretty well today. It just wasn’t starting exactly where I wanted it to. Ultimately on 13, I knew I had to make birdie there to give myself a chance because Rory was going on a heater, and he slipped up a couple on the way coming in, and I just kept staying the course, focused on trying to hit as many fairways as I could, even though I didn’t. I was not great today with that.

But I got out of trouble really well, and then, man, I can’t believe that up-and-down on the last. That was overall probably the best shot of my life.

I was just trying to land it pretty much where I landed it and run it out to the right. I remember Payne’s putt and how it broke up there, and I knew that was obviously huge to get up-and-down to win this prestigious championship that will be the highlight of my life. I still can’t believe it. It’s unbelievable.

MIKE TIRICO: You become the 23rd individual to win multiple U.S. Opens, one of whom is back here, two-time U.S. Open champion Andy North. You’re in a special and select club in American golf. What does it mean to you to have this baby for the second time?

BRYSON DeCHAMBEAU: First off, I’ll say to the USGA, thank you for hosting such an incredible event. Mike, you’ve done a great job. John, fantastic. Fred, you’re the man. You know that. I love you, bro.

I’ll tell you the most important thing is the greenskeepers and greens crew out here. They did an incredible job keeping this golf course in spectacular shape. Thank you very much for your continuous hard work every single day out here to keep this championship the way it needed to be. Hats off to you.

What it means. I haven’t really let it sunk in yet. Tonight I want all of you guys somehow, I want you guys to touch this trophy because I want you to experience what this feels like for me. You were a part of this journey this week, and I want you to be a part of it for the after party.

MIKE TIRICO: All right, the after party is funded by Bryson. Ladies and gentlemen, 2024 and now two-time United States Open champion, Bryson DeChambeau.

On his final day the world number 1 didn’t manage to hole a single birdie, ending the third major of the year with four rounds over par. After his round he talked about the struggle to get the ball into the hole

US Open 2024 Live Scores

Scottie Scheffler talks to the media after his final round of the US Open 2024

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: It was a long week. Obviously didn’t play my best. A bit frustrating to end. Feel like I have some good takeaways from this week, learned some good things.

Q. What did you feel like was the one thing that might have been off the most?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I couldn’t hole anything. I could not see the break on these greens. The greens this week kind of had my number. I felt like I hit a lot of really good putts that did weird things at the cup that I was not expecting them to do.

When we come back here in a few years, I’ll probably try to do a lot more work getting things going on the greens. I felt like I did a lot of my work around the greens this week, and maybe I needed to do more — the practice greens weren’t the same speed as the course, and it was hard to find something similar.

I’d say that was definitely an added challenge. So I think as far as the prep work goes, probably try to do more on the course, get to know the greens a little bit better.

But other than that, I feel like I did some good things this week, but overall I definitely need to do some things better.

Follow the US Open 2024 on the live blog

Q. You mentioned takeaways, but what are some other things that you need to do leading into — you were talking about playing the week before or not. What are some other takeaways?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Yeah, I think playing the week before, a lot of it depends on the golf course, and I think last week with the golf course the way it is, it probably was not the best prep work for me coming into another really challenging event. I think I shot 5-under the first round at Memorial, which would have been the easiest day, and after that I was maybe 3-under from there on out. I mean, that’s pretty U.S. Open-like, and to play that many rounds, especially with what I’ve been dealing with the weeks leading up or really kind of the whole season, really playing a lot of good golf and being in contention, I think maybe my prep would have been a little bit better for this week if I was at home. But I’m obviously not going to skip Jack’s tournament. It’s a tournament I love playing. It’s a tournament that I’m humbled to be the champion at.

But as far as prep for this week, it may not have been the best, but I knew what my schedule was at the beginning of the year. I had it set. That was always the way it was going to be. I feel like going forward, I’ll maybe do things a little bit differently in the weeks leading up to majors, especially when you know it’s going to be a challenging setup at a U.S. Open.

Q. How do you get your rest and get back to Travelers next week?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: Well, we’re going to head home tonight. I haven’t decided exactly when I’ll head up to Travelers, but we’ll assess and see how things are going at home. Right now the plan is to go up Monday night, but we’ll assess and see how we feel at home.

Q. Any big Father’s Day plans?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: No. No. Meredith surprised me this morning with a New York bagel, which was nice. Little man was screaming as I left the house, so it was maybe a good time for me to be leaving on Father’s Day. He was a little upset.

Yeah, actually they came out on the range this morning, and it was pretty awesome. He had his little outfit on. He had a little hat on over his head. It was just hilarious. Yeah, get home as quick as we can, and yeah, just enjoy dinner tonight just us three.

Q. Was it more physically or mentally taxing playing on a hard course the week before a major?

SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER: I’d say it’s mental, but I think there’s definitely a physical aspect to it. Today I made more of a conscious effort to make sure I got kind of my legs going in the swing. That’s maybe something I’ll assess in the off-season, as well. I feel like I’ve played a lot of my best golf not late in the season, maybe a bit early in the season, so that’s maybe something to look at, whether or not I need to get more mental rest as the year goes on or maybe need to have better physical endurance. I’m not really sure which one it is.

But like I said, now I’ve been on a good stretch of golf. Had one tough event following a great event. I’m not really going to look too much into it but focus more on my prep.
