There’s now less than a month to go until Europe take on America in the 2025 Ryder Cup, due to be played at the Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York, from September 26-28.
Initially played between teams from the United States and Great Britain and Ireland, the first match took place in 1927 at Worcester Country Club in Massachusetts.
American dominance saw the team extended to include players from continental Europe from 1979 and, since then, the biennial competition has become one of the most eager-anticipated events in the golfing calendar by both players and fans.
In 2023 Team Europe triumphed by 16.5 point to 11.5 point in Italy so the Americans will be out for revenge this year.
Today (September 1) European captain Luke Donald revealed the six players he was picking to join the six who had already automatically qualified for the team.
They will face the already-announced USA team of Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English, Bryson DeChambeau, Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay, Ben Griffin, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas and Cameron Young.
Here’s your Team Europe lineup in full - as they are announced.
5. Rasmus Hojgaard
He left it late, but Denmark's Rasmus Hojgaard claimed the final automatic spot by bagging a top 20 sport in the last tournament offering qualification spot - the British Masters. It saw him leapfrog both Shane Lowry and Sepp Straka in the points table. It will be his Ryder Cup debut. | Getty Images
6. Tyrrell Hatton
Notable for managing to qualify sixth in the Ryder Cup Points Table, despite being a member of the money-spinning LIV tour (whose events so not count towards qualification). Tyrrell Hatton chose his events carefully, and performed well in those he entered - winning the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and Hero Dubai Desert Classic. He'd have been selected as a wildcard anyway, but his qualification left Luke Donald with less of a headache when it came to his Captain's Picks. | Getty Images
7. Shane Lowry
2019 Open Champion Shane Lowry was always a lock to win a captain's pick spot at the Ryder Cup. A hugely popular player, he may have not have been at his best this year, but will still be feared by the Americans for his match play expertise - he teamed up with Rory McIlroy to claim the Zurich Classic of New Orleans pairs event last year. | Getty Images

8. Jon Rahm
LIV player Jon Rahm was always going to be a guaranteed captain's pick. He may have not played in many tournaments with qualification points up for grabs, but top-15 finishes in the first three majors of the year showed he's a force to be reckoned with and couldn't be left off the plane. | Getty Images
