The team captains were Luke Donald for Europe and Zach Johnson for the United States; Donald replaced Henrik Stenson, who was removed from the role by the European Tour after joining LIV Golf.[4] Each team of twelve players was made up of six automatic qualifiers and six captain's picks. The top thirteen players in the Official World Golf Ranking played in the event, the first time the entire top ten had done so since the inauguration of the rankings in 1986. The matches were contested with four foursomes and four fourball matches on each of the first two days, with twelve singles matches on Sunday. Europe went into the matches undefeated in Europe since 1993; they required 1412 to regain the trophy they last won in 2018; as holder of the trophy, having won in 2021, the USA needed 14 points to retain it.

In the opening foursomes matches on Friday morning, Europe secured a clean sweep to jump into a 4–0 lead. In the fourballs in the afternoon, the USA were unable to hold onto leads in several of the matches and fell further behind as Europe went into day two ahead, 612–112.[5] On Saturday morning, Max Homa and Brian Harman won the USA their first match of the event, but with Europe winning the remaining three foursomes, including a record 9 and 7 victory for Viktor Hovland and rookie Ludvig Åberg over world number one Scottie Scheffler and PGA champion Brooks Koepka, the lead was extended to 912–212. In the afternoon fourballs, the USA won their first session to cut the deficit to 5 points, at 1012–512.[6]

On Sunday, Europe secured the first point as Hovland defeated Collin Morikawa; another half point came when Jon Rahm tied his match with Scheffler by winning the 18th hole. When Rory McIlroy and Tyrrell Hatton won their matches, Europe required just half a point from the remaining seven matches out on the course.[7] The next four matches to finish all went to Team USA. Europe's victory was ensured when Tommy Fleetwood won the 16th hole to go dormie two up against Rickie Fowler; Fleetwood won the 17th hole to confirm the win for Team Europe.[8] A win for Robert MacIntyre over U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark in match twelve, and a tie for Shane Lowry against Jordan Spieth brought the final score to 1612–1112.[9]

The European team qualification rules were announced on 30 August 2022. There were several changes from the previous Ryder Cup, with three qualifiers from each of the European and World points lists and the number of captain's picks increased from three to six; the weighting of points was also changed, with highest ranked events now worth 4 times the lowest, having been six times the value previously.[29]

On 9 August 2023, Masters Champion Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy were confirmed after securing their spots via the European points list.[30] On 15 August 2023, Viktor Hovland qualified via the World points list.[31] On 27 August 2023, Tyrrell Hatton qualified via the World points list.[32] The final automatic qualifiers were confirmed on 3 September 2023, at the conclusion of Omega European Masters, as Robert MacIntyre, via the European points list, and Matt Fitzpatrick via the World points list.[33] Luke Donald announced his six captain's picks the following day; they were Tommy Fleetwood, Sepp Straka, Justin Rose, Shane Lowry, Nicolai Højgaard, and Ludvig Åberg, who won the final qualifying event and had been a professional for less than three months.[34]

The leading players in the final points lists were:

Sunday's matches

edit

The singles match-ups were announced on Saturday evening, with both captains sending out their highest ranked players early. The first match to finish was match two, with Viktor Hovland defeating Collin Morikawa, 4 and 3. The first match between Jon Rahm and Scottie Scheffler was close throughout, with Rahm winning the last hole to tie. Match four was next to finish, as Rory McIlroy defeated Sam Burns, 3 and 1. In match three, Patrick Cantlay won the first US point of the singles, defeating Justin Rose, 2 and 1. When Tyrrell Hatton defeated Brian Harman, 3 and 2 in match six, Europe had moved onto 14 points and needed half a point more to win the Ryder Cup.[61]

In match five, Matt Fitzpatrick missed a putt on the final hole to tie his match to Max Homa. Matches seven though nine all went the way of the US with Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas and Xander Schauffele all winning, to take the overall score to 14–11. When Rickie Fowler conceded Tommy Fleetwood's short putt on the 16th, having earlier hit his own tee shot into the water, to go dormie two down in match eleven, Europe were guaranteed the half-point they needed to win.[62] Very shortly afterwards, in match ten, Shane Lowry guaranteed another half point for Europe as he went 1 up through 17 holes against Jordan Spieth.[63] Fleetwood won the 17th hole to win his match 3 and 1, and confirm the victory for Europe.

In the last match to finish, Spieth won the 18th hole to tie with Lowry, and make the final score 1612–1112 to Europe.[64]
