Picking Our 2027 Ryder Cup Teams 12 Months Early

One year to go until the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor – so who would make the teams if it started tomorrow?   In this special bonus episode of For the Love of Golf, Iona Stephen and Dan Walker become rival Ryder Cup captains and pick the 12 players they would take to Ireland based on everything they’ve seen in 2026.   Iona takes charge of Team USA, while Dan picks Team Europe. They debate the locks, the players who have forced their way into contention, the new faces they’d back in match play, and the big names they’d brutally leave at home.   With both teams locked in, it’s Europe vs USA. Who has the stronger squad? Who would they send out first on Friday morning? What are their dream foursomes and fourballs pairings? And who would they trust in the final singles match with the Ryder Cup on the line?   We’re keeping the receipts and will revisit their picks when the real Ryder Cup teams are confirmed!   💚 Who makes YOUR 12?
