The Ryder Cup, one of the most important and prestigious events in the world on the golfing calendar, will return this week for its 44th edition in the history of this magnificent event.
The tournament, which pits the best golfers from Europe and the United States against each other in a series of match-play competitions, is always a thrilling spectacle. For sports betting fans, it offers a unique opportunity to test their knowledge.
The 2023 Ryder Cup will occur at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, just outside Rome, Italy. This will be the first time in history Italy will host the Ryder Cup, and the course’s unique challenges could significantly impact the outcome of the event. The course layout, with narrow fairways and small greens, will test the accuracy and precision of golfers, potentially favoring those with a strong short game.
Over three days, players from Europe and the United States will compete in fourballs (best ball), foursomes (alternate strokes), and individual duels. On Friday and Saturday, four balls and foursomes will be in play, with the order determined by the home team’s captain (in this case, Europe). On Sunday, we will have the individual duels. The overall score of the competition is 28 points, so the winner must score at least 14.5 of those 28 points. If the result is 14-14, the defending champion (in this case, the United States) will retain its title.
The Course – Marco Simone Golf & Country Club
In collaboration with Tom Fazio II, Marco Simone Golf & Country Club was redesigned for the Ryder Cup by European Golf Design. Work began in August 2018 and was completed in March 2021. One of the factors taken into account was creating opportunities for risk and reward without losing sight of the drama of competition and maximizing the natural, rolling landscape. The par-72 course is 6,645 meters (7,268 yards).

Preview
Currently, the U.S. team is the favorite to win, with most bookmakers offering odds of -114. The team’s victory in the 2021 Ryder Cup and the wealth of young talent in U.S. golf make it a strong contender.
However, the European team should not be underestimated, with odds of around +116. The Europeans have a history of good Ryder Cup results, and the team’s mix of experienced players and rising stars could pose a serious challenge to the Americans.
The U.S. team, as always, is terrifying, although it remains to be seen how their four rookies, two of whom won Majors this year, will fare. Johnson’s gamble on Thomas makes a lot of sense, even though his season has been filled with more shadows than lights. Jordan Spieth is the team leader, and J.T.’s presence was critical for his tournament record and the intangibles he would bring.
On the other hand, Rory McIlroy is a fantastic reference for the European squad, as is Jon Rahm, his lieutenant and former world number one Justin Rose, always ready to take the initiative when needed. Hojgaard is a better bet than Aberg, while Straka could be a brilliant choice in the Fourball.
