Ryder Cup Predictions 2025 | HUGE Payout on what Player?

The 2025 Ryder Cup prop bets at Bethpage Black (September 26-28) is shaping up as a high-stakes clash, with the U.S. as heavy favorites due to home advantage and depth, but Europe’s continuity and match-play prowess make them a live underdog. Based on expert analysis from several highly respected golf sources, the consensus leans toward a U.S. win but it’s going to be close.

• U.S. Edge: Home soil (U.S. won 8 of last 9 home Ryder Cups), superior depth in ball-striking stats (e.g., top-5 in SG: Total for Scheffler, Henley), and Bethpage’s length favoring bombers like DeChambeau. However, U.S. rookies (5 on team) could falter under pressure.
• Europe’s Strengths: Defending champs with 10 of 12 from 2023 squad; elite foursomes record (e.g., 66% win rate for Fleetwood); McIlroy/Rahm in peak form (McIlroy’s 2025 Masters win, Rahm’s consistency).
• Risks: Blowouts unlikely— Want a HUGE risk/reward bet? A Tie at +1100 offers a massive ROI.

General Strategy: Focus on player props over outrights (e.g., top scorers, session wins). Bet small on matchups once pairings drop; use live betting for momentum shifts.

ASA’s Ryder Cup Prop Bet recommendations:

Team USA Point Score bets: (Draftkings)

• Patrick Cantlay +900 Top USA Scorer – We like Cantlay here who should get enough volume of matches and he has a 3^rd place finish on this course in the PGA Championship in 2019. Cantlay has two Ryder Cup’s under his belt with a 5-2-1 record and is undefeated in singles. Ranked top 10 in clutch putts and late round scoring in 2025. We will also sprinkle in Cantlay for a Top 3 USA Finish at +230.
• Russell Henley +225 Top 3 USA Scorer – Another great longshot here with Henley who has 10 Top 10’s in 2025. He is 4^th in SG Total this season and 14^th in SG Approach to Green metrics. Henley is 2^nd in proximity and finished 4^th in money earned this season. Making his Ryder Cup debut is the unknown but clearly the oddsmakers like his chances considering he’s the 3^rd highest favorite behind Scheffler and DeChambeau.

Team Europe Point Score Bets: (Draftkings)

• Tommy Fleetwood +450 Top European Scorer – Fleetwood got the ‘monkey off his back’ with his Tour Championship win this season. He finished with 8 Top 10’s on the Tour this season, only missing 1 cut. Fleetwood is 2^nd in Strokes Gained this season and 6^th in SG Approach to Green. He’s solid off the tee (25^th driving accuracy) which is critical at Bethpage. Fleetwood was 7^th in putting average this season and 5^th in Par 4 field average. This might be our favorite bet of the weekend.

Session & Format Props to consider:

• U.S. to Win Friday Foursomes: +145 – History: U.S. 7-1 in last 2 home foursomes.
• Exact Correct Score: U.S. 15-13 (+1000) or 14.5-13.5 (+1000).

Head-to-Head Insights

U.S. vs. Europe Away/Home: U.S. 8-1-1 last 10 home; Europe 0-5 away since 2012 (but 2012 miracle win).

Player Matchups to Watch: Let’s hope Rory McIlroy and Bryson DeChambeau get paired up at some point this weekend. There have been words between these two players in the past and it could make for some great TV drama. DeChambeau is a fan favorite and will get heavy support from the crowd at Bethpage which could rattle Rory’s cage in a head-to-head matchup.

For deeper dives, monitor pairings (announced coming Thursday) and best of luck at the Links this weekend.
