Team Europe Are 13/8 Outsiders To Be Crowned 2026 Ryder Cup Champions

One of the most highly-anticipated competitors on the expert golfing calendar gets underway on Friday as the USA and Europe clash in the 45th Ryder Cup.


Taking location at Bethpage Black just outside New York, Europe will be wanting to win on US soil for the very first time since 2012 and just the 5th time in history.


Despite their less than outstanding record in America, Team Europe will take lots of confidence into this year's competition following their dominant success in Rome 2 years earlier.


Europe cruised to a 16 1/2 -11 1/2 accomplishment, with Luke Donald and Co seldom under danger en route to the group's 8th win in their last 11 Ryder Cup appearances.


With the above in mind, the 2025 Ryder Cup must be a competitive affair between 2 exceptionally skilled teams.


For those who will be following closely, let's take a look at a few of the popular markets on offer courtesy of Sky Bet.


Team Europe are 13/8 outsiders with Sky Bet to be crowned 2025 Ryder Cup champions


Outright Winner


Given they are at home it should not come as a surprise that Team USA are the best-backed to hoist the prominent prize, with Keegan Bradley's side entering as odds-on favourites at 4/6.


Conversely, Team Europe are 13/8 outsiders to disturb the applecart, while a tie is the best in the market at 10/1.


There have actually been simply 2 ties in Ryder Cup history. The most recent took place in 1989.


There are 3 Price Boosts on offer for the competitors, the very first of which requires Europe to lead after day 1, lead after day 2 and win outright at 9/2.


Meanwhile, the other 2 increases need Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy to score 3+ points each at 9/2, and Tommy Fleetwood to be the leading European scorer (consisting of ties) and Europe to raise the Ryder Cup at 12/1.


Fleetwood had a career best year in 2025, with the Englishman winning the Tour Championship and being crowned FedEx Cup champion.


Additionally, Scheffler and McIlroy won a combined 3 majors this calendar year, with Scheffler winning The Open and the PGA Championship, while McIlroy declared his maiden Masters title.
