The 45th Ryder Cup is virtually upon us as Europe and the USA prepare to battle for the most prestigious team trophy in golf at Bethpage Black.
The Sporting News has been building up to the iconic event all week, tracking the latest betting odds, favourite to win and predictions for the event.
Europe are the current holders having won in comprehensive fashion two years ago in Rome but the Americans now have the home advantage, which has proved so significant in recent years.
Paddy Power are offering new customers 50/1 odds on Team Europe to win or 50/1 odds on Team USA to win the famous trophy. Customers can only choose one sign-up offer.
Given there's only been two draws in the previous 44 iterations of the Ryder Cup, it is very much a 50/50 call. Here's a step-by-step guide for taking the sign-up offers.

2025 Ryder Cup Predictions
Despite the home crowd and having several of the supposed best golfers in the world, the US also have a rookie captain in Keegan Bradley and have struggled for team unity several times in recent memory.
That is not the case for the Europeans, with Luke Donald looking to lead his side to a second consecutive title and togetherness being a staple of the team for decades as they take on the might of the US.
With Tommy Fleetwood entering the event off the back of his first PGA Tour title and emotional leader, as well as best player and Ryder Cup legend, Rory McIlroy now a Masters champion and Grand Slam winner, Europe have the big guns to make a big impact. They also have excellent strength in depth with Jon Rahm, Justin Rose and Shane Lowry all capable of magic.
It'll be tight and hopefully an epic for the ages but we're tipping Europe to pull off a major win and keep the trophy for another two years.
