Biography

Jon Rahm will make his fourth Ryder Cup appearance and second on away soil as part of Luke Donald’s European Team after being selected as a Captain’s Pick. Since the start of the European Ryder Cup qualification process last summer, the Spaniard has displayed his pedigree as a world-class figure in the game with some notable results despite limited starts on the DP World Tour. After losing out to compatriot Angel Hidalgo in a play-off at the acciona Open de España presented by Madrid on home soil, he followed it with top tens at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and Estrella Damm N.A. Andalucía Masters. His 2025 started with a missed cut at the Hero Dubai Desert Classic, but he has made the cut in all four of this year’s Majors, including top tens at the US PGA Championship and U.S. Open as he finished 24th in the European Team Rankings. Rahm won LIV Golf’s Individual Championship for the second year running as he finished inside the top ten at all 12 events during 2025.

Rahm first played in the Ryder Cup as part of Thomas Bjørn’s winning side at Le Golf National in 2018, registering one point from his three matches as he defeated Tiger Woods in the Sunday Singles. By the time his second appearance came around in 2021 at Whistling Straits, he was a Major champion after winning the U.S. Open earlier that year and he went on to be the top points scorer for Europe in a losing cause with defeat to Scottie Scheffler in the singles his only loss. He was undefeated two years ago in Italy, forging a formidable foursomes partnership with Tyrrell Hatton as the pair won both their matches, either side of a half point alongside rookie Nicolai Højgaard in Friday’s fourballs and a half point in a high-quality encounter with Scheffler.
