Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and Collin Morikawa will tee it up in the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
The U.S. Team has finalized its roster for the 2025 Ryder Cup.
Twelve Americans and 12 Europeans will face off on Bethpage Black Course on Long Island in late September. The question is… did any of our LAGC guys make the cut?
Not one, not two, but three. Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, and Collin Morikawa are all headed to New York. Only this time, teammates turn into rivals as Justin and Tommy compete for Team Europe and Collin for the U.S. Team.
What’s so special about the Ryder Cup? Every two years, players join together and compete as a team, for their nation (or nations), and the crowd is behind them all the way.
Ryder Cup play often evokes something different from the crowds. It is passionate, it is loud. There’s history and tradition. It is team golf featuring some of the world’s best players. Tommy, Justin and Collin have played on this stage before and we’re excited to see what they can do at Bethpage.
Here’s a closer look at the LAGC players set to feature, and how they’ve performed in their previous Ryder Cups:
Justin Rose

Justin Rose is making his seventh Ryder Cup appearance, making him the most tenured competitor on the European team outside of Rory McIlroy.
Rose ranks #11 on the all-time European points list with a 14-9-3 record.
Good news for the Europeans: when Rose has competed, Team Europe has secured four team wins, while only falling short twice.
Tommy Fleetwood

Riding high off his first PGA TOUR win, Tommy secured his spot with his exceptional play all year long. This will be his fourth appearance on Team Europe.
Last go around, Tommy was a captain’s pick and helped nudge Team Europe toward victory with his 3-1-0 record.
Tommy ranks #19 on the all-time European points list, and is looking to carry his momentum from the Tour Championship into the Ryder Cup.
Collin Morikawa

Morikawa is making his third straight Ryder Cup appearance. He boasts a 4-3-1 record across his eight Ryder Cup matches.
Morikawa ranks #37 all time out of all Americans who have competed in the Ryder Cup, and he hopes to climb a bit higher with his performance this year.
Keegan Bradley selected Collin as a captain’s pick, which is a testament to his play, his experience on this stage, and his fit with the team.
The U.S. Team got a great one.
What's on the line?
While the Americans can boast about their overall winning record of 27-15-2, the Europeans have won 10 of the last 15 events. Neither team has to force a chip on their shoulder — it’ll be heated from the start.
There’s plenty of pride on the line. There’s a patriotism that you can feel from both sides that fuels the competition. It seems every made putt garners a sturdy fist pump, even a shout from the players more often than usual.
The camaraderie and fight makes it a compelling competition. The result matters deeply.
A Battle of Teammates
Our guys are ready. Morikawa and the Americans versus Tommy, Rose, and the Europeans.
We’re looking forward to seeing a different type of competition out of these teammates turned enemies for the week.
