Biography

Robert MacIntyre will make his second Ryder Cup appearance in Luke Donald’s European Team after finishing in second place in the automatic qualifying spots. With six top tens to his name in 2025 and an impressive summer, an in-form MacIntyre broke into the world’s top ten for the first time in August and comfortably secured his place in Team Europe for a second time. The Scot narrowly missed out on Major success at the U.S. Open, where he came from seven shots behind and set the clubhouse lead before ultimately being beaten out by J.J. Spaun. A few weeks later, MacIntyre finished with a tie for seventh at The Open, marking the end of another great Major season. From there, a runner-up finish to Scottie Scheffler at the BMW Championship vaulted him up the World Rankings, before capping off his PGA TOUR season with a tie for 17th at the Tour Championship.

The most successful rookie of the 2023 Ryder Cup Team, MacIntyre played in three matches and won 2.5 points at Marco Simone. While sitting out both foursomes sessions, MacIntyre partnered Justin Rose in both four-ball matches, tying the Friday afternoon session against Wyndham Clark and Max Homa, and defeating Justin Thomas and Jordan Spieth 3&2 on Saturday afternoon. During the singles matches, MacIntyre was 3UP early on Wyndham Clark before being brought back to all-square, but impressively fought back to win both the 15th and 16th holes, ending the match on 17 with a 2&1 victory and a full point for Team Europe.
