11 of 12 players who won in Rome will defend title in US

‘It doesn’t mean we are going to roll out the same pairings’
Luke Donald has warned the US team that it would be an error to anticipate “rinse and repeat” from Europe in the Ryder Cup this month despite confirming 11 of the 12 players who won in Rome two years ago will tee up at Bethpage.
Donald named his six wildcards on Monday, all of whom played in 2023. Shane Lowry, Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Åberg, Matt Fitzpatrick, Jon Rahm and Sepp Straka received the captain’s call. Rory McIlroy, Robert MacIntyre, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Rasmus Højgaard and Tyrrell Hatton qualified automatically.
