Ryder Cup Prop Picks & Odds: Best Team USA vs. Team Europe Props
The most anticipated tournament in golf has officially returned to the U.S. and will be played at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, N.Y., this weekend - we're dropping our best Ryder Cup props picks to get you set for all the action.
The Ryder Cup odds favor Team USA (-150) over Team Europe (+170), but there are a ton of other ways to wager on the historic battle. Will Team USA bounce back from their 2023 defeat and protect home soil, or can Team Europe capture back-to-back victories? Sit back, relax, and let's find a few of the best Ryder Cup props to wager on before we officially tee off.
💰 Best Ryder Cup prop picks
- U.S. Day 1 winner (-105 via FanDuel)
- Justin Thomas 1.5 points or less (-105 via FanDuel)
- John Rahm top European scorer (+400 via FanDuel)
- Rory McIlroy 2.5 points or more (-150 via DraftKings)
- Collin Morikawa 2 or more total points (-110 via DraftKings)
- Scottie Scheffler top overall points scorer (+500 via FanDuel)
🏆 Day 1 winner prediction: Team USA (-105)
This play is simple - win the day, and you have a winning wager on your hands. With the crowd heavily in favor of Team USA with the tournament being played in New York, you can guarantee they will come out of the gates locked in.
Make no mistake, home-court advantage is huge in this tournament - the host team has won each of the past five matchups (Collin Morikawa has also called for "chaos" come tournament time). Team USA has also beaten Team Europe on Day 1 in each of the last three Ryder Cups, and this trend is going to play out one more time at home.
🏌️ Top European scorer prediction: Jon Rahm (+400)
Jon Rahm is built for the big stage, more specifically, the Ryder Cup, where he has an overall record of 6-3-3. As a result, these juicy odds found at FanDuel are too good to pass up as we go through our best Ryder Cup prop picks.
Rahm is undoubtedly in good form entering the tournament, too, after clinching the LIV Golf individual championship in Indianapolis. Now, Rahm has played just once at Bethpage Black, and he did miss the cut. However, he's since elevated his game (see the LIV individual championship) and fits major championship courses like this one well.
Rahm ranked second behind only Bryson DeChambeau in strokes gained: off-the-tee this season at LIV and finished sixth in SG: approach on short approach shots. With the United States setting up the course to create shorter approach shots, I expect him to handle his business this weekend.
⛳ Rory McIlroy prediction: 2.5 points or more (-150)
If there's a player who embodies Team Europe and what they stand for, it's Rory McIlroy. After finally reaching the pinnacle of his career and winning the 2025 Masters, completing his Grand Slam, McIlroy can put an exclamation point on his incredible season with a quality outing at Bethpage Black.
As the most experienced player between the two teams, expect McIlroy to put on a show this weekend.
"Winning another away Ryder Cup, just considering how hard that has been over the past 12 years, it would be one of the greatest accomplishments of my career for sure," he said in a press conference.
I have my money on him securing three points for Team Europe.
