If you are here, you are one of two things: 1. A diehard golf fan consuming Ryder Cup content or 2. A fellow bettor who wants to know who and what to root for during Sunday singles at Marco Simone. In either case, welcome.
Jordan Spieth and Rory McIlroy’s tense rules exchange, explained
As it stands, this thing seems close to over, with the European team holding on to a commanding 10.5 to 5.5 lead, meaning they will need only four of the possible 12 points in Sunday singles to win the Ryder Cup. It’s not insurmountable, especially given the massive momentum shift Patrick Cantlay provided on the 18th green Saturday evening, but it’s still a large task. Barring a miracle, the Europeans are on track to win on home soil for a seventh consecutive time, which would extend the U.S. team’s away-game drought to 34 years (the next Ryder Cup in Europe will not be until 2027). You can all but cash those tickets, European bettors. No reverse jinx here.
But that doesn’t mean that Sunday still isn’t must-see TV, particularly for gamblers. There are countless prop bets on the line that still need to play out, like top overall point scorers, top point scorers on each team, top rookies, captain’s picks, etc. With that in mind, we compiled a list of each player’s record and point allotment to this point, for both teams, below. Good luck to all and enjoy the golf.
