A star-studded cast of 24 golfers are set to do battle for Europe and the US in the 44th edition of the Ryder Cup.
The iconic tournament is heading to Italy for the first time in history as the Marco Simone Golf & Country Club near Rome stages proceedings from Friday, September 29 to Sunday, October 1.
Team Europe are hoping to regain the trophy after being battered in America two years ago and Luke Donald wears the captain’s hat for the redemption bid.
The US’ wretched record on European soil – they last won the Ryder Cup away from home in 1993 – could be cause for optimism, however, and two-time major winner Zach Johnson is in charge of the visiting team.
Some of the biggest names in the game will be involved in the team tournament including Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy and John Rahm so a blockbuster few days on the fairways and greens await.
Ryder Cup odds can be found on the Paddy Power website and Paddy Power app, otherwise everything you need to know about the Europe and US teams for 2023 is below.
