Supercomputer Tips Ryder Cup 2025 for Dramatic Showdown
The 2025 Ryder Cup is shaping up to be a thriller, with predictions from a supercomputer indicating a tight contest between Team USA and Team Europe. As the biennial event tees off at Bethpage Black in New York, golf fans can expect another fiercely competitive battle between the sport’s top stars.
Blowouts Still on the Table, Despite Tight Odds
While a one-point win for the U.S. is seen as the most probable outcome, the model hasn’t dismissed the possibility of a landslide. In fact, there's a 56.8% chance the margin of victory could stretch to five points or more—just like in each of the past five Ryder Cups.
Draws Are Rare, But Not Impossible
According to the data, there’s a 7.6% chance of a tie—an outcome that would see Europe retain the trophy. But history suggests it’s unlikely: since Europe began competing in 1979, only one draw has occurred, back in 1989 at The Belfry.
Europe Needs a Miracle for a Big Win
Among the predicted scorelines, a narrow 14.5–13.5 U.S. win leads with a 14.4% likelihood. A dominant 18.5–9.5 victory for the Americans follows at 12.5%, while Europe achieving the same scoreline gets just a 6.8% chance. A tight 14.5–13.5 win for Europe ranks third at 10.4%.

History Points to Home Advantage
The U.S. heads into the competition with a 57.1% chance of reclaiming the title, according to Boyle Sports’ model. Europe’s chances of pulling off a rare away win sit at 35.3%—something they haven’t done since the 2012 'Miracle of Medinah.'
Supercomputer Predicts Edge for Team USA
Using 10,000 simulations, the supercomputer projects a narrow U.S. win as the most likely outcome. But it also suggests that larger margins—five or more points—are statistically more probable overall.
Star-Studded Squads Ready for Battle
Keegan Bradley will lead Team USA, bringing names like Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, and Bryson DeChambeau to Bethpage. Team Europe sticks with 2023 captain Luke Donald, supported by heavyweights Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, and Jon Rahm.
Europe Looking to Defend Their Crown
Team Europe arrives as the reigning champions after thrashing the U.S. 16.5–11.5 in Rome in 2023. That win was a strong response to their own 2021 defeat at Whistling Straits, where the Americans delivered a 10-point blowout.
