Europe will enter as defending champions after a brilliant 16.5-11.5 victory in Rome. Rory McIlroy top-scored for the hosts that week with four points from five matches, while Tyrrell Hatton and Jon Rahm both enjoyed unbeaten weeks.

Two-time Ryder Cup player Keegan Bradley was surprisingly announced as captain of Team USA, despite never previously serving as an assistant and having not been involved in the contest since 2014.
Tiger Woods was initial favourite for the role, having acted as a vice-captain during USA's victory in 2016 and a playing-captain for the 2019 Presidents Cup win, while Stewart Cink - a five-time Ryder Cup player and a vice-captain in 2023 - was also a candidate.
Bradley has confirmed Webb Simpson, Kevin Kisner, Jim Furyk, Gary Woodland and Brandt Snedeker as vice captains.
Europe have won the last seven home editions of the Ryder Cup, while Team USA have enjoyed dominant victories the last two occasions it has been played in America. The last five editions have also seen a winning margin of five points or more.
The last away victory from either team came in 2012, when Europe produced their historic final-day comeback to win the 'Miracle at Medinah', while McIlroy wants another victory on American soil in 2025.
McIlroy said: "I've said this for the last probably six or seven years to anyone that will listen: I think one of the biggest accomplishments in golf right now is winning an away Ryder Cup. And that's what we're going to do at Bethpage."
The year-long qualification schedule saw six players qualify via a single Ryder Cup Points List, as opposed to the previous system of three players qualifying from the world rankings and a further three from DP World Tour's Race to Dubai.
McIlroy, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Hatton and Robert MacIntyre were the first five automatic qualifiers, with Rasmus Hojgaard taking the final automatic spot in the final qualification event.
The six captain's picks - announced on September 1 - were all part of Donald's victorious team in 2023, with Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm, Sepp Straka, Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Ă…berg and Matt Fitzpatrick returning to the European side.
The race for qualification on Team USA began in March 2024 at the Players Championship. Golf's unofficial 'fifth major', along with the men's game's four actual majors, were the only 2024 events that counted towards qualification.
At those events, players gained one point for every $1,000 earned in prize money, providing they made the cut. The same points were offer at every PGA Tour event in 2025, until the conclusion of the BMW Championship on August 17, with 1.5 points available for every $1,000 earned in majors that year.
Scottie Scheffler, JJ Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau were the six automatic qualifiers, with Bradley then naming Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns as his captain's picks after electing not to select himself.
