The highly anticipated 2025 Ryder Cup starts on Friday, and half of Team Europe will be made up of former HotelPlanner Tour players.
In total, six of Luke Donald’s 12-man roster at Bethpage Black are HotelPlanner Tour alumni, including Rasmus Hojgaard, who becomes the 35th alumni to represent Europe at the Ryder Cup. The Dane claimed the final automatic spot after finishing inside the top 29 at the Betfred British Masters hosted by Sir Nick Faldo and replaces his twin brother Nicolai in the only change to Donald’s team from two years ago in Rome.
Englishman Tyrrell Hatton, a 2013 graduate from the HotelPlanner Tour, will make his fourth Ryder Cup appearance in New York, as will his compatriot Matt Fitzpatrick. The 2022 U.S. Open winner played nine events on the HotelPlanner Tour back in 2014.
Tommy Fleetwood topped the Rankings back in 2011 having sealed a maiden victory at the Kazakhstan Open. The Englishman will this week represent Team Europe for a fourth time having made his first appearance in 2018 at Le Golf National.
Justin Rose returned to the European Ryder Cup team in 2023 after missing the 2021 event at Whistling Straights. The 2013 U.S. Open winner played ten events on the HotelPlanner Tour in 1999 and will feature for Team Europe for a seventh time this week.
Finally, Scotsman Bob MacIntyre makes up the HotelPlanner Tour alumni teeing it up at Bethpage Black. The 29-year-old earned promotion to the DP World Tour after finishing 11th in the 2018 Rankings on the HotelPlanner Tour.
The 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black takes place from September 26-28, with Friday’s foursomes matches starting at 7:10am local time.
