Ryder Cup 2027: Predicted Team Europe and current rankings for Adare Manor

The next Ryder Cup is scheduled for 17-19 September, 2027, hosted at Adare Manor in County Limerick, Ireland. Team Europe will be captained by Jim Furyk, who will have the choice of six players automatically from the top of the Ryder Cup points list after the final round of the British Masters on 22 August 2027. These include world No 1 Scottie Scheffler, world No 3 Cameron Young, and US Open champion Wyndham Clark.

Furyk will then select the remaining six members of Team Europe in the week commencing Monday 30 August 2027.

The current Team Europe standings for the 2027 Ryder Cup are as follows:

1. Shane Lowry (IRE) - 271.9 points

2. Joe Dean (ENG) - 265.7 points

3. Rory McIlroy (NIR) - 142.05 points

4. Manuel Elvira (ESP) - 141.15 points

5. Jacob Skov Olesen (DEN) - 141.0 points

6. Nacho Elvira (ESP) - 135.6 points

McIlroy, with a record of 38 matches - 19-14-5 (21.5 points), is expected to continue his impressive transformation into a team leader under Donald. His pairing with Tommy Fleetwood, who has a perfect 4-0 record in team golf at Bethpage, is expected to be reprised. Fleetwood, with a record of 17 matches - 11-4-2 (12 points), is another key player for Team Europe.

Ludvig Aberg (8 matches - 4-4-0, 4 points) and Matt Fitzpatrick (12 matches - 3-8-1, 3.5 points) are also expected to be part of the European team. Tyrrell Hatton (15 matches - 8-4-3, 9.5 points) is another player who can elevate his game in this environment and is a vital member for Donald.
