Europe’s captain has kept his team much the same but new USA skipper Keegan Bradley made several changes.
The 12-man line-ups are made up of six players who qualified via ranking points accumulated this season.
And the other six stars are selected by the captains.
The last five Ryder Cups have been won by the hosts and the last away success was in 2012 when the Europeans won in Illinois.
Who is playing in the Ryder Cup 2025 for Team Europe?
There is just one change to Donald’s setup with Ramsus Hojgaard replacing his twin brother Nicolai.
That is the fewest changes to a European team in Ryder Cup history – dating back to the format change in 1979.

The Ryder Cup is back THIS WEEK as Team Europe hope to defend their crown on American soil
Luke Donald‘s team has travelled to New York ahead of the big start on Friday.
Europe has dominated the prestigious competition in the 21st century, winning eight of the 11 meetings since 2002.

In fact, Team Europe has only won one of the four Ryder Cups held in the US – 2012 – since their win there in 2004 and Team USA enter as the odds-on bookies’ favourites.
