The Ryder Cup has taken a long way from the days that Ben Hogan said: “Boys, there is nothing to be the captain of the Ryder Cup. You are all great players. Couples is very easy … Whatever you want to tell your guys – I don’t want my name to be on that trophy as a losing captain.”
Nowadays it is enormously data controlled, where Kapitans analyzes everything under the sun.
The final goal is still the same as that of Hogan: they don’t want their name to the trophy as a loser.
That said, here is a basic breakdown of the players of each team through previous match type records.
