Ryder Cup 2025 Betting Offers

Betting on the event is exceptionally popular, with pre-tournament markets the most popular, with price boosts and enhancements available in the build-up to the event.

Betting is further complicated by the fact that team selection and the order of play are usually kept secret until the last available minute by each team captain to maximise their chances. This makes placing bets on individual matches or even the result of the next day's play a little tricky, as bookmakers work their magic to compile competitive odds for customers.

Ultimately, you can split Ryder Cup betting into five sections:

Pre-Event betting
Player betting
Match betting
Acca betting
In-Play betting

Below, we take a look at what these bet types offer and recommend a bookmaker for each.

Betting "pre-event" on the Ryder Cup is as straightforward as it can be, with the outright result, correct score and top-scoring player markets available, along with session and daily betting available too.

Outright

Outright betting is a simple win-draw-win bet with very short odds, with players able to bet on the result of the entire tournament, each day's play or individual match sessions. There is also the ability to bet on the result of the foursomes, fourballs or match-play games only too, giving players plenty of options overall.

A "lift the trophy" market is also available, which tends to favour the current champion as if the event finishes as a draw, the holders retain the trophy.

Correct Score

Correct Score markets offer the most value, with players attempting to predict the exact scoreline after either a As mentioned previously, there are 28 total points to play for, so predicting the outcome is extremely difficult, with odds reflecting that too.

Like the outright market, players can also bet on the correct score across individual sessions, days and game format too, offering further betting options

Most bookmakers offer a top-player market, with the simple premise of picking the player to score the most points over the three-day event.

This market has been expanded to include various options, with top player markets available for the highest scoring: European, American, Britain, Scandinavian, Rookie, Left-Handed and Wildcard players, among the more popular ones in place.

Odds will be quite different across these markets, due to the number of qualifying players in each, however, it is a great way to find more value bets for the tournament.

Match betting is once again, exactly what it sounds like, with players able to bet upon any of the fourteen Ryder Cup matches available.

Markets include the outright winner and winning margin, while some bookmakers will offer odds on what hole the match ends at and even who strikes the winning putt.

The toughest part of match betting is grabbing decent odds. Team captains don't announce the next day's play order until an hour or so after the end of the previous day's play, so it's a race between the announcement being made and bookies posting odds. 

If you are quick enough, you may be able to take advantage of generous prices, but our advice is to keep several bookmaker sites open, to compare and grab that larger price before it inevitably disappears.

The Ryder Cup format lends itself well to accumulator betting, with eight games played on each of the opening two days, before a marathon of twelve matches on the final day.

Acca bonuses and acca insurance will be available on the Ryder Cup 2025, with some bookies potentially offering specific event promotions and offers too, with further details released in the week-long build-up to the event.

In-play betting on golf looks to be a no-brainer for bookmakers, but very few have taken up this option and run with it. 

In terms of markets, it is very straightforward with bets on hitting the fairway off the tee, reaching the green in regulation and sinking a putt all available.

The Ryder Cup format lends itself well to in-play betting and keen golfing fans will fancy their chances of making some gains across these markets.
