Biography

Making his seventh appearance across 17 years, Rose is seeking a fifth win as Team Europe’s elder statesman.  The Englishman did not record a top ten before Christmas in qualifying but back-to-back top tens in PGA TOUR Signature events boosted his confidence before he suffered a play-off loss to Rory McIlroy at the Masters, the second time he has been denied in extra holes at Augusta National. A top ten at the Genesis Scottish Open was quickly followed by a win at the FedEx St Jude Championship which secured an automatic spot on the team helmed by his friend and countryman Luke Donald. 

Over his first five Ryder Cups, Rose became part of two consistent partnerships first alongside Ian Poulter and then Henrik Stenson before teaming up with Robert MacIntyre in 2023.  He has an impressive foursomes record of 7-2-1, with alternate shot bringing almost half of his 15½ points, a career total that means he averages over two and a half points per Ryder Cup appearance.
