bet365 also makes the USA 8/11 to retain the trophy in the event of either an away win or a tie. Once 1/2 to win the Rome match, Johnson’s men are still clinging on to outright favouritism at 10/11 while a tie, which would mean the USA retain the Ryder Cup, is a 12/1 shot. The USAwere installed as heavy favourites following their crushing victory at Whistling but all the money has been for Europe in recent weeks and, having opened up at 2/1 in the betting, Donald’s men are now 11/10 to regain the Ryder Cup.

This time around, Luke Donald is the man given the task of regaining the Ryder Cup for Europe, with the former world No 1 pitting his wits against two-time major champion Zach Johnson. The teams last met in 2021, when an ageing Europe team captained by Padraig Harrington endured a 19-9 loss at Whistling Straits, Wisconsin, against a hugely talented USA team led by Steve Stricker. One of the most iconic events in sport starts in Rome on Friday when Europe and the United States do battle in the 44th edition of the Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf Club.
