Ryder Cup: Which players have partnered most with others?

With 11 returning players from its victorious 2023 squad, the European Ryder Cup team has the experience advantage over the Americans entering this weekâ€s matches at Bethpage.

But when it comes to longest partnership, score one for the U.S., as Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele have paired 13 times in Ryder and Presidents cups. Together, theyâ€ve compiled a 7-6 record, though 6-3 in foursomes.

Europeâ€s most likely partnership for Bethpage? Either Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton, or Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Ã…berg. Both pairs have played three times together in past Ryder Cups.

Here is a look at all the past partnerships between this yearâ€s Ryder Cuppers:
