| EXPERT | TEAM, WINNING SCORE | MAN OF THE MATCH | MAN OF THE MATCH |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sean Martin Lead, Editorial | Europe, 15-13 | Viktor Hovland | He closed the FedExCup Season with consecutive victories to win the FedExCup (and propel me to victory over Rob Bolton in our humble league) and there is no reason his success should stop at Marco Simone, where driving will be of utmost importance. There are few players in the world who drive it better than him, and having one Ryder Cup under his belt will be of great benefit. |
| Rob Bolton Golfbet Insider | Europe, 14½-13½ | Tommy Fleetwood | Until this thing is played on a neutral field, home turf demands respect, especially in Europe. |
| Mike Glasscott Golfbet Contributor | Europe, 15-13 | Viktor Hovland | I learned my lesson supporting the visiting team in 2021 and will not be making that mistake again. Since 1985, Europe has won 66 percent of these, including every event in Europe minus 1993. |
| Christian Skaret Product Manager, Digital | USA, 15-13 | Brian Harman | The United States Team is stronger than ever, yet I do believe the Euros will keep this closer than many think on home soil. |
| Cameron Morfit Staff Writer | Europe, 14½-13½ | Robert MacIntyre | Each home-team side has now perfected the art of pummeling the visitor, but this one should be closer. Still, as Rory said, winning a Ryder Cup on the road has turned into one of the hardest things in golf if not all of sports, and the U.S. Team’s lack of competitive reps will hurt. |
| Ben Everill Senior Writer, Golfbet | U.S. retains, 14-14 | Xander Schauffele | We just saw a tie in the Solheim Cup… why not one in the Ryder Cup as well? The weight of history pushes towards a Europe win but I just have a nagging feeling the U.S. is fortified by unfinished business. They’ll need Scheffler to putt half-decent and Schauffele to bring out the mongrel fight he has inside of him. |
