European team gaining ground in Ryder Cup odds
The European Ryder Cup team is gaining ground in the odds for the upcoming tournament, despite initially being considered underdogs. Here's an overview of the current odds and some notable developments:
Team USA (Captain: Zach Johnson)
- Favorites (-120)
- Automatic Qualifiers include Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Jordan Spieth, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Brooks Koepka, Max Homa, Brian Harman, Patrick Cantlay, Sam Burns, Wyndham Clark, and Rickie Fowler.
Team Europe (Captain: Luke Donald)
- Underdogs (+125)
- Automatic Qualifiers include Viktor Hovland, Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Robert MacIntyre, Tyrrell Hatton, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Sepp Straka, Justin Rose, Shane Lowry, Nicolai Hojgaard, and Ludvig Aberg.
A tie with a score of 14-14 is priced at +1200.
The odds have shifted in favor of Europe thanks to some key players' timely form. Viktor Hovland's wins at the BMW Championship and TOUR Championship, along with Ludvig Aberg's victory at the Omega European Masters, have bolstered Europe's chances.
It's worth noting that despite being favorites in recent years, the U.S. team has not won on European soil since 1993 at The Belfry in England.
