A Ryder Cup that was a wipeout for the first two days turned thrilling on Sunday, as the Americans sought to erase a seven-point deficit. They came close — Lowry’s 14th point clinched the retention of the Cup, and then Tyrrell Hatton halved his match with Collin Morikawa to win it outright for Europe. The final score was 15-13.

Barring something miraculous (for the Americans) and/or calamitous (for the Europeans), this Ryder Cup is a wrap. Europe has won the tournament just four times on U.S. soil (1987, 1995, 2004, 2012), but a fifth conquest appears inevitable.

Rory McIlroy took the most abuse from the New York fans at the Ryder Cup and at times he gave it back. It was loud.

Europe won the Ryder Cup for the second straight time but that does not begin to tell the story of what happened at Bethpage.

Thriving across 11 one-on-one matches, the U.S. unintentionally proved the point its team has been forced to relearn every two years: The Ryder Cup is about the collective, not the individual.

Team Europe beat Team USA by a score of 15–13 in the 2025 Ryder Cup. The win marked Europe's second-straight victory, beating their American counterparts 16.5–11.5 in 2023.

It has been a matter of total European domination at Bethpage Black. 11.5 to 4.5 is a score representative of that. When you consider that the Americans saw Scottie Scheffler become the first player in this format of the Ryder Cup to lose their first four matches … it just wasn’t ever going to be their tournament.

Rory McIlroy remembers the tears the last time he fell short in a Ryder Cup. What really stung were the words.

Team Europe fended off a valiant United States comeback to retain the Ryder Cup. Shane Lowry secured the victory for Europe with a birdie putt on the 18th hole to tie his match with Russell Henley. The half-point earned by Lowry put Europe at the 14-point mark it needed to retain the Ryder Cup.
