Ryder Cup Friday Foursomes Betting Tips

As always, please gamble responsibly...

Jon Rahm

Match 1: 

DeChambeau / Thomas vs Rahm / Hatton

Predicted winner: 

Europe - Rahm / Hatton

Best price: 

6/5

Prediction: 

What a cracking match to open the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage.

The pairing of DeChambeau and Thomas has taken many by surprise, but when you think about it some more it sort of makes sense as both players bring the fire at the Ryder Cup. 

But so too though do LIV Golf teammates Rahm and Hatton, so this has all the makings of a classic.

We can see this one going all the way to the 18th hole. 

DeChambeau and Thomas and marginal favourites to win the match, but we'll side with the European pair to get the job done, just as they did in Rome.

Scottie Scheffler

Match 2:

Scheffler / Henley vs Aberg / Fitzpatrick

Predicted winner:

USA - Scheffler / Henley

Best price:

8/11

Prediction:

Scheffler and Henley for us here. 

The pairing of Aberg and Fitzpatrick is steady for sure, but we're not sure steady will get the job done in this match.

This is arguably America's strongest pairing, consisting of the World No.1 and World No.3. 

Henley and Scheffler will take a world of beating in this match and 8/11 looks value to be fair. 

Rory McIlroy

Match 3: 

Morikawa / English vs McIlroy / Fleetwood

Predicted winner:

Europe - McIlroy / Fleetwood

Best price: 

5/6

Prediction: 

McIlroy and Fleetwood is arguably Europe's strongest pairing and we can see this one being comfortable for the visitors.

Morikawa has been badly out of form of late, and English will unlikely scare Europe's superstar names. 

We'll go for a snug 3&2 win here for McIlroy and Fleetwood. 

Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay

Match 4: 

Schauffele / Cantlay vs MacIntyre / Hovland

Predicted winner:

USA - Schauffele / Cantlay

Best price:

5/6

Prediction:

We think the final match of the day one foursomes will be close.

But we can see best friends Schauffele and Cantlay just edging this one. 

Schauffele has been out of the game for a few weeks following the birth of his first child, but he gels well with Cantlay so you'd think he will be inspired to put on a show in front of his home fans.

Hovland has admitted his game feels better on the eve of the Ryder Cup, and you can be certain MacIntyre will be fired up to prove a point in his first away game. 

It will be a close match for sure this one, and could very well end in a tie, but we'll just side with the home team here. 

Friday Foursomes score prediction:

Based on our predictions above, we're going with a 2-2 opening session. 

Our predicted fourfold accumulator above of Rahm / Hatton, Scheffler / Henley, McIlroy / Fleetwood and Cantlay / Schauffele is available at best odds 12/1.

My banker two wins for the Friday foursomes are without question Scheffler / Henley and McIlroy / Fleetwood, which is available at best odds of 2/1.
