How does qualifying for the 2025 European Ryder Cup team work?

The European Ryder Cup qualification process for the 2025 team has been simplified compared to previous editions. 

Here's how it works:

Ryder Cup points list

Instead of the former two-list system (European and world points lists), there is now a single list. 

Players earn points by competing in specific tournaments based on a new ranking structure. 

Here's how that looks:
