OUR TIME. OUR PLACE. TEAM EUROPE LEGENDS
Team Europe’s quest to earn their place in history is forged in a shared purpose and sense of belonging chronicled in a poignant video released at the start of Ryder Cup week. Our Time. Our Place celebrates the pioneering players who each played their part in the four European Teams who were victorious on US soil in 1987, 1995, 2004 and 2012.
So far, 37 players have tasted success in America as part of Team Europe, including Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose from the current 2025 European Team, who along with Captain Luke Donald were part of Europe’s last win at Medinah 13 years ago.
All 37 are honoured and celebrated in the video, whilst Team Europe’s kit for the four practice days at Bethpage this week will also pay homage to each of those away wins.
With the 2025 Ryder Cup set to get underway in New York on Friday, there is the opportunity for ten new names to be added to the list.
Can Ludvig Åberg, Matt Fitzpatrick, Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Rasmus Højgaard, Viktor Hovland, Shane Lowry, Robert MacIntyre, Jon Rahm and Sepp Straka, join McIlroy, Rose and Donald in Ryder Cup folklore?
This is Our Time. Our Place.
