Is the dynamic among the Team Europe members under threat? The 2025 Ryder Cup is only a few months away and things are already heating up! Issues had already begun to creep up with Team U.S. ever since Keegan Bradley was assigned the captaincy. From the compensation for Ryder Cup participation to Bradley’s desire to be a playing captain, the American side has been in the headlines for quite some time.
Things have not been smooth sailing for Team Europe as well. Some of the best European golfers are struggling to qualify on merit due to their LIV Golf commitments. The only player to have risen to the top in this scenario is Tyrrell Hatton. His win at the 2025 Hero Dubai Desert Classic has put him in pole position to make it to the qualifying 6. But the likes of Jon Rahm and Sergio Garcia are nowhere at the top.
Speaking of Garcia, he has his own battles with the European squad, particularly Rory McIlroy. The two shared a heated conversation when the former moved to LIV Golf a few years ago. However, Garcia recently gave his honest outtake on the dynamic he shares with other Team Europe members. When it comes to the Ryder Cup, the Spaniard said, “you put your big or small egos away and you know what you’re fighting for” during an interview with The Times. National pride is more important to Sergio Garcia than any beef with Rory McIlroy, or so it seems.
