There is no question the United States deserve favouritism. They are on home turf and Whistling Straits will certainly suit the big-hitting Americans more. The form of some of the European players is also a concern. What we do know though is that Europe have performed significantly better than the more well-fancied Americans this century, winning seven of the nine Cups including two of four on American soil – most recently the “Miracle at Medinah” in 2012.
Europe have also managed to get far more invested as a team while the Americans remain a collection of individuals. Cultural change is certainly underway at Team USA but it will take time and the Koepka/DeChambeau feud has hung over the team leading in. Europe are big value here.
BACK — Europe at $3.0 or better
Top European Points Scorer
Rory McIlroy has certainly shown a liking for Whistling Straits and it certainly appears as if it will suit his eye. Distance from the tee is a big advantage here and it has helped with Rory coming 3rd and 17th in two starts here. He has two Top 4s in his last five starts so his form is on the up. Looks an outstanding play this week.
BACK — Rory McIlroy at $6.0 or better
Top USA Points Scorer
Justin Thomas was the star of the American team in Paris with a 4-1 record and is again set to be America’s rock. He is set to be paired with good friend Jordan Spieth (who finished 2nd here in the 2015 PGA Championship) and looks almost certain to be rolled out in that situation in all four sessions – bar any early disaster. Thomas will get the opportunities and the stability of his pairing makes this a good bet.
BACK — Justin Thomas at $7.0 or better
Top Rookie
Form off the tee is going to be so important at Whistling Straits so jumping on European rookie Viktor Hovland to have a massive Ryder Cup. Hovland ranked fifth last year in Strokes Gained: Off The Tee. He has spent most of the year in the US – a major plus. The Norwegian has four Top 17 finishes in his last seven starts.
BACK — Viktor Hovland at $7.0 or better
Top Wildcard
Spieth finished second here at the 2015 PGA Championship and has come off a rejuvenated season where he was back in the winner’s circle and genuinely contended in some big tournaments this year. He has a 7-5-2 record but is 0-3 in singles. He will score in team play and just needs to find something in the singles.
BACK — Jordan Spieth at $4.5 or better
