Notes: Europe will try to win the Ryder Cup on U.S. soil for the first time since 2012 at Medinah. … Luke Donald returns as captain for Europe. No captain has won back-to-back since Tony Jacklin (1985 and 1987). … Justin Thomas is playing in his fourth straight Ryder Cup, making him the most experienced player on the U.S. team. … Europe has 11 of its 12 players from the team in Rome. The exception is Rasmus Hojgaard, who replaces his identical twin Nicolai Hojgaard. … The last Ryder Cup in New York was at Oak Hill in 1995 won by Europe. Since then, Europe has won 10 of the last 14 times. … Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose have combined to play 13 times in the Ryder Cup. … Bethpage Black has hosted three major championships, most recently the 2019 PGA Championship won by Brooks Koepka. … The Americans have four Ryder Cup rookies, and six players who were not on the losing team in Rome.
