One of the best golf weekends takes place this week in the form of the 2023 Ryder Cup, as Team USA and Team Europe renew their rivalry in Rome with the USA looking to retain the title and beat Europe in their soil for the first time in 30 years. As a proud Scot, I’m hoping Europe can pull off the win, but as well as betting on the outright winner there are also tons of player prop markets to dive into. With some of the best golfer s around lining up, let’s get into my best Ryder Cup prop bets of the week, including a couple at big odds.

He only contributed 1 point in his 5 matches in his Ryder Cup debut, but Hovland's game has simply been elevated to a different level of late. In his last 3 starts he has gained almost 4.5 strokes off-the-tee and over 4 strokes putting. That's a winning combo wherever you're playing!
