Ryder Cup 2025: Meet the wives and girlfriends of Team Europe

It's almost time for the 2025 Ryder Cup in New York, where Luke Donald's European side will defend the trophy against Keegan Bradley's Team USA.

Donald led Europe to a convincing five-point win at Marco Simone two years ago, and he agreed to become the first back-to-back captain since Bernard Gallacher 30 years ago.

Europe have 11 of the 12 players who won so handsomely in Rome, but they will have to deal with the vociferous fans at Bethpage Black this time around.
