2012 Ryder Cup Betting Guide - Bookmakers Struggling To Split The Teams

Ryder Cup Matches

The Ryder Cup for 2012 will be at the Medinah Country Club near Chicago with the Europeans defending the trophy. Jose Maria Olazabal has been named as the European Captain for the matches while Davis Love III will be in charge of the home team at the end of September.

The Ryder Cup Odds for 2012 could hardly be any closer at this stage with the bookmakers struggling to split the European and American teams. Europe have dominated the matches over the past decade or so but with the American team looking very strong, they will be hoping that home soil will be enough to see them through this time.

The Ryder Cup Singles could well be the key again in 2012 with the 12 players from each team going off against each other. The Europeans will be looking to the likes of Rory Mcilroy and Luke Donald to lead from the front whilst the Americans will be hoping that Tiger Woods and Masters Champion Bubba Watson hit form by the end of September.

The USA Ryder Cup Team

The USA Ryder Cup Team this year will be captained by Davis Love III, himself a former Ryder Cup player. The team will comprise of some of the top ranked players in the world, such as Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson and on paper they will be a very strong Team indeed. They will have the extra motivation this time around as they look to regain the trophy after they lost out in tight fashion back at Celtic Manor two years ago

Tiger Woods is not having the best season but will be in the team, it will be interesting to see how the former World No.1 fares as he once again plays for the American team. He missed the 2008 victory for the States through injury but he will surely be one of the first names on the sheet for captain Davis Love III.

European Ryder Cup Team

The European Ryder Cup Team will be captained by Jose Maria Olazabal, who finally gets the ‘Captains armband’ for the European Team and will be a huge influence on the players. The team as always will have a good mix of experience and youthful aggression that has been a winning formula for so long and they will arrive at Medinah as keen as ever to win.They will be bidding to defend the trophy in 2012 after winning in 2010 against a resurgent American team, it will be tougher on foreign soil but the Europeans will be confident.

The European Team looks good shape with a good mix of youth and experience making up the team, we will be seeing the likes of Rory Mcilroy and Martin Kaymer make their debuts in Celtic Manor. Mcilroy in particular is looking in particularly good shape and it would be no surprise to see him leading the Top European Player Betting.

The 2012 Ryder Cup Golf Course

Ryder Cup VenueThe 2012 Ryder Cup Course this year will be the prestigious Medinah Country Club near Chicago and it will be the first time ever that the course will have hosted the Ryder Cup. Preparations have been going on in Wales for a number of years and the Ryder Cup Matches will be played on the brand new Twenty Ten course which has been designed and built specifically with the 2010 Ryder cup in mind. Celtic Manor has played host to the Welsh Open on several occasions but this will be the first time it has hosted such a worldwide event and the fans in Wales are getting excited.

Ryder Cup Captains

The Ryder Cup Captains for the 2012 matches at Medinah will be Jose Maria Olazabal for Europe and Davis Love III for the USA team. The European Ryder Cup Captain will be charged with retaining the trophy while the US Ryder Cup Captain will be trying to retgain the Ryder Cup for the first time since 2008. It will be interesting to see how the mind games between Olazabal and Love pan out over the coming months and during the matches as they could be crucial in the final outcome of the trophy.

Ryder Cup Players

The 2012 Ryder Cup will be fought out by the top players from USA and Europe. The teams will be made up of experience and youth with the likes of Tiger Woods for USA and Padraig Harrington for Europe.
