Ryder Cup Live Odds Chaos: Team Europe Survive USA Fightback in Nail Biting New York Finale

Team Europe have retained the Ryder Cup after surviving a dramatic final-day fightback from Team USA in New York.

Heading into Sunday’s singles, Europe held a commanding 11.5-4.5 lead, putting them just 2.5 points away from the 14-point target needed to keep the trophy.

Their advantage grew even further before play began, as both sides were awarded half a point when Viktor Hovland was forced to withdraw due to injury.

At that stage, Europe were overwhelming favourites – priced at 1/1000 to retain the cup – and it seemed like victory was a mere formality. But as the day unfolded, the atmosphere at Bethpage Black turned electric.

The Americans came roaring back with Cam Young and Justin Thomas striking early, Bryson DeChambeau clawing his way back from five down, and Scottie Scheffler delivering a huge win over Rory McIlroy. Suddenly, the impossible didn’t seem so far-fetched.

Bookmakers reacted quickly as the USA’s charge gathered pace.

The once unthinkable comeback saw Team USA’s odds slash from 50/1 at the start of the day to just 8/1 mid-session, sparking a betting frenzy.

Even Google felt the impact. Searches for “live Ryder Cup odds” surged to their highest possible level late on Sunday night, having been relatively quiet throughout the opening two days.

Despite the late drama, Europe held their nerve to cross the line and retain the Ryder Cup, sealing a victory that was far more tense than their early dominance suggested.

It’s a win that will go down in history – not just for the scoreline, but for the wild swings in momentum that kept fans on the edge of their seats until the very end.
