2025 Ryder Cup Power Rankings: How All 24 Players Stack Up

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — This week, the United States team will look to avenge its 16.5-11.5 loss to the Europeans at the 2023 Ryder Cup. The Americans have the home advantage but are facing a stacked and confident European team that returns 11 of the 12 players from Rome, as well as Captain Luke Donald.

Here are the power rankings for all 24 players teeing it up at Bethpage Black this week for the 2025 Ryder Cup:

1. SCOTTIE SCHEFFLER. The world No. 1 is in the midst of one of the most dominant stretches in the history of professional golf. Scheffler won his 18th PGA Tour event and 12th title in the last two seasons a few weeks ago in Napa and has shown no signs of slowing down. In Rome, he went winless, securing only one total point after a 0-2-2 week. Scheffler will seek redemption at Bethpage Black, and a five-point week could be in play for the 29-year-old.

2. BRYSON DECHAMBEAU. If Scheffler is the U.S. team’s best player, Bryson DeChambeau may be the most important. The Crushers GC captain wasn’t in Rome in 2023 but played extremely well in 2021 at Whistling Straits when the U.S. thumped Europe, 19-9. Bethpage Black will be set up to suit DeChambeau’s style of play, and the American fans will flock to watch him smash drives and fist pump to the crowd.

Team United States is paced by Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau.

3. RORY MCILROY. McIlroy was one of only two European players in Rome to play in all five possible matches, and led the event in scoring, with 4 points. The Northern Irishman hits it as far off the tee as anyone in the competition not named "DeChambeau" and will use his length to his advantage this week. McIlroy completed the career grand slam this year at Augusta National, won The Players
