Ryder Cup Europe Captain Luke Donald has spoken a lot about the continuity of his team heading into this year’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, and it’s a theme that he fully embraced during Team Europe’s photocall on Tuesday morning.
Team Europe were the first of the two Ryder Cup sides to have their photocall, lining up on Tuesday morning ahead of their first practice round as a team this week.
With a near- indentical team to 2023, the European side all stood in exactly the same positions as they did in Rome, with only Rasmus switching places with his twin brother Nicolai to create as near an identical team photo as is possible for the most unchanged European side in Ryder Cup history.
See both pictures below.
