Ryder Cup -Nederraags are difficult to tolerate. The event has become so great and means so much that a loss often leads to a two -year facts mission to correct mistakes and to ensure that the ship sails in the right direction.
For the Americans, think of the Task Force after the Debacle 2014 in Gleneagles, or Koester Keegan Bradley as a captain for the Ryder Cup 2025 after he had left the losing American team in 2023. For Europeans, a historical loss in 2021 at Whistling Straits seemed to be the start of a dominant run that seemed to be for the pre -proof. Instead, the Europeans reacted with a thunderous victory in 2023 that was not as close as the 16.5-11.5 counts and on Sunday a historic victory of 15-13 away from Bethpage Black. Europe has won 11 of the last 15 Ryder cups and four times on American soil since the last time the US won in Europe.
This last defeat will undoubtedly be the Americans looking for answers. There are a number of reasons why the US flopped in Bethpage. They set up the course incorrectly, which Bradley became the owner of Sunday after the defeat. Where Europe set up courses in Paris and Rome to accentuate the strengths of its selection and to disadvantage the US, the Americans cast a famous difficult Bethpage Black Track.
The Americans also failed the data test at Bethpage. While Europe was broadcasting the mathematically optimal square combinations and with their weak links with their stars with their stars with their stars, the Americans were running the least optimal square combination of Collin Morikawa and Harris English twice; Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood steamed both days. On Friday, the US Russell Henley T piece left the strange holes and Scottie Scheffler on the Evens, despite the data that point to the opposite optimal. It cost the Caddies of Scheffler and Henley who suggested the change to become the plan for Saturday.
The communication and attention to detail of all those involved in Team Europe also clearly play a huge role in getting the most out of everyone in the team. Captain Luke Donald, his vice-captains, the DP world tour and the supporting staff do not leave a stone unclean-included-including the quality of the hotel beds of the players-when preparing Europe in the Ryder Cup, which allows the best players in the world to play freely with total buy-in and belief in the process.
All this is part of Europe’s Ryder Cup success. And yet one quote from the Bethpage party on Sunday can tell a brief story.
After he had gone 2-1-0 on Bethpage while he finished third in the strokes achieved: Total and second in the week of the week, Justin Rose was asked how he explains his dominant performance at the Groenen in Rome in 2023 and this week in New York. Rose, who is 45, offered something that underlines the connection that the European team built between each other and in the generations.
“I wish I knew it. I wish I could be a little more selfish and know that 25 weeks of the year,” said Rose. “But do you know what I mean? I feel the power of this, the power of the group, who knows what it is, that ability to enclose, the possibility of just wanting it that it is.
“The answer to your question is that I don’t know, except the badge and the boys, to be honest. That is all that matters, to be honest, the badge and the boys.”
The badge and the boys.
After the victory, McIlroy noted that the entire European operation began to concentrate on how they would win at Bethpage the day after their victory in Rome. That has been spent about 700 days drawing up a plan for three days – a plan for the course, a plan for preparation, a plan for motivation and inspiration and a plan for recovery. Europe had a plan for Everything.
Part of the plan was aimed at the European teams who previously won on the road. The scripting of each practice day was a phone call back to one of those victories, culminating in the purple that Europeans wore in 2012 in their victory in Medina. The European social team has released a video in which the 37 players are praised who have won a Ryder Cup road. Even Sunday’s uniforms had a historical significance because the four stripes symbolized the four teams that had won on American soil.
A deep desire to become the fifth team to do this flowed through each member of Team Europe.

The Europeans brought back 11 of the 12 players from that team in Rome, all pushing two years to make the team and write history at Bethpage. For Europeans, beating the Americans seems to hold an interest that is not the same on the other hand because of the focus of the blue-and-gold on the past and the wish of his current players to write the next chapter.
On Sunday, while the champagne prepared to flow, Donald again hit the importance of history and became part of something that is bigger than you.
“That is a large part of my captain is to create an environment where these guys honestly have the best weeks of their lives,” Donald said. “We will always remember this. We will always go into history. We talk about all the people who came to us who have paved our way for us. Now future generations will talk about this team tonight and what they were doing and how they could overcome one of the most difficult environments in the entire sport.”
The US will continue to look for ways to ’emulate’ what Europe is doing, making it successful. Maybe they can find a captain like Donald who presses all The right buttons. But in five words, Rose may have shown why it will be difficult for the US to do this. Why the US is better served to map its own course instead of trying to copy a formula for which they miss the ingredients. Everything for Europe is about the collective and the history of ‘The Badge’. From Seve to Nick Faldo to Sergio Garcia and Mcilroy, Europe’s bond with each other and their past is something that cannot be recreated or simulating. It is a galvanizing force that cannot be quantified.
One that just delivered a historic victory – for the badge and the boys.
