Ryder CUP 2025: Europe “in great shape”, says the vice-captain Edoardo Molinari before the black bethpage test | News Golf
The vice-captain in Europe, Edoardo Molinari, said that the team was “in great shape” before the Ryder Cup 2025 on American soil in September, while also supported the old world N ° 1 Jon Rahm to rediscover its best form in time for the defense of Europe.
Molinari will again be part of Captain Luke Donald’s team at Bethpage Black, having been part of his support staff during the success of Europe 16.5-11.5 in Rome in 2023.
Europe has themselves been beaten in the last two Ryder cups that were held in the United States, their last victory being their famous victory of “Miracle in Medinah” in 2012, but there is again optimism in 2025.
Rory McILroy won the Masters – with the players’ championship and AT&T Pebble Beach Pro -Am – to end the Grand Chelem career, while Sepp Straka, Thomas Detry, Ludvig Åberg and Viktor Hovland have also been victorious on the PGA Tour so far this season.
“I think our team is in great shape,” said Molinari on the Sky Sports golf podcast. “There are a lot of guys who have played well recently – even some of the non -subperstars we had in Rome.

Jon Rahm says that the last Ryder Cup was the best golf experience in his life and that he hopes to be part of the team in 2025 in New York again.
“Not really [concerned]”Molinari said about Rahm’s game.” Jon loves the Ryder Cup so much that he will probably end up later this summer – I’m almost sure of that.
“Each year, you feel like you have seven or eight guys who are easy to plan, then you have some of the left field. I think it will be the same time this time.
“I hope we have all our best guys in the best form of their lives, but in one way or another, we will have a strong team and a team that will be able to fight a very strong American team.”

Luke Donald is thinking about how he guided Team Europe towards the success of the Ryder Cup in Rome
Bethpage Black in New York is expected to accommodate a noisy crowd at home when the Ryder Cup takes place from September 25 to 28, but despite the difficulties of Europe on American soil during their last visits, Molinari thinks that they will be able to face the hostile atmosphere.
“I think you just control what you can control,” he said. “You cannot control the crowd, but you can control the way you behave and how you react to the crowd. There are a lot of things you can do so as not to influence it yourself.
“I think we will be prepared, we will be ready for this. I know that it will be strong and very difficult, but sometimes in the difficulty of opportunities.
“Make the snecks, put blue on the board and the noise level will decrease very quickly.
“As I said, it will be delicate, it requires a lot of patience, a lot of determination, grain and hard work, but we will do our best.”

“It was great with Rory Winner [The Masters]”Said Molinari.” Anyone who knows Rory a little was extremely relieved for him and very happy for him.
“You could see how much it meant for him. It was long to come and it was so good to see.
“He has a lot of weight on his back now, he can play a little more freely – especially among the majors – and I would not be surprised if he is up there with Hollow Quail. He loves him there.
“This is a course where he played well before, the one that suits him definitively and whoever is really good out of the tee. I am very curious to see what will happen next week. I think it will be a second major second of the year.”
