. Luke Donald, captain of the European team, will complete his 12-player roster when he announces his six picks on Monday, September 1.

Rasmus Højgaard has secured the final automatic qualifying spot on Luke Donald's European team for the 2025 Ryder Cup, which takes place at Bethpage State Park in New York from September 26-28.

The Danish golfer secured his place after tying for 13th in the final qualifying event, the Betfred British Masters, joining Tommy Fleetwood, Tyrrell Hatton, Robert MacIntyre, Rory McIlroy and Justin Rose, who had previously earned a place in the European team.

With five DP World Tour wins to his name, Rasmus Højgaard will make his debut in the biennial tournament after a qualifying period that included a victory over McIlroy at the 2024 Amgen Irish Open and 10 other Top 20 finishes worldwide, including a runner-up finish at the DP World Tour Championship, the PGA Tour's Zurich Classic of New Orleans and last week's Danish Golf Championship.

Rory McIlroy was the first player to qualify automatically thanks to four victories within the qualifying period, including his win at the Masters in Augusta in April, which allowed him to crown the Grand Slam in his prolific sporting career.

Subsequently, Justin Rose, Tommy Fleetwood, Robert MacIntyre, and Tyrrel Hatton secured a place on the European team thanks to their results in various tournaments.
