The Ryder Cup 2027 returns to the United States, to be played at Bethpage Black in New York. It is one of the most anticipated events in golf and generates significant betting interest from Irish punters given the strong Irish representation in the European team.
Ryder Cup Format
The Ryder Cup is a team match play competition between Europe and the United States, played over three days. Friday and Saturday feature foursomes and fourball sessions (morning and afternoon) with 8 points available each day. Sunday features 12 singles matches worth 1 point each. The first team to 14.5 points wins; Europe holds the cup if the match ties 14-14 (the defending champions retain).
Main Betting Markets
- Outright winner (Europe vs USA): The headline market. Bethpage Black is a notoriously tough course that has historically suited low-scoring precision golf.
- Session betting: Which team wins each session of foursomes or fourballs — popular daily markets.
- Individual match betting: Head-to-head results for each of the 28 matches across the three days.
- Winning margin: By how many points will the winning team prevail — typically available as a range (1-2.5, 3-4.5, 5+ etc).
- Top points scorer: Which player accumulates the most Ryder Cup points across all sessions.
Irish Interest in the Ryder Cup
Irish golfers have been central to recent European Ryder Cup teams, with multiple Irish players typically in the 12-man squad. This creates strong Irish betting interest in both the outright market and individual player-focused props. Home advantage for the USA at Bethpage — a New York-area course with a partisan crowd — is a real factor in the outright market.
