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:
Tournament | Points available |
Majors | 5,000 |
2025 PGA Tour signature events | 3,000 |
DP World Tour Rolex Series events | 2,000 |
DP World Tour 'Back 9' events | 1,500 |
DP World Tour 'Global Series' events | 1,000 |
2025 PGA Tour 'Opposite Field' events | 1,000 |
Qualification period
Qualification began on 29 August at the British Masters.
It will end next August at a TBC DP World Tour event.
Team composition
The European Ryder Cup team will consist of six automatic qualifiers from the points list as well as six captain's picks.
