The 2020 Ryder Cup will finally get played starting Sept 24, 2021, and so it’s time to compare the teams based on our Power Rankings to see which is most on-form coming into the competition.
Just about every time they play, Team USA is the stronger team on paper but somehow Team Europe ends up coming away with the victory. This year both teams are full of great players, but based on the current Power Rankings, Team USA should take the cup with ease*.
