SHEBOYGAN, Wis. – The 2021 Ryder Cup is set to begin on Friday as the United States and Europe’s top golfers compete head-to-head. Europe will be looking to win their fifth Ryder cup in the last six attempts.
Odds To Win The Ryder Cup
The Ryder Cup normally comes along every other year but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this will be the event’s first tournament since 2018. Despite winning just once since 2010, the United States is the betting favorite with online gambling sites.
2021 Ryder Cup Odds
- USA -185
- Europe +200
- Tie +1200
There hasn’t been a tie in the Ryder Cup since 1989 and only two since the event’s inception in 1927 but those worried gamblers can also find different odds that exclude the possibility of a tie.
Lift The Trophy Odds
- USA -185
- Europe +140
In an event like this, many Americans will bet on America to win while many Europeans will likely bet on Europe to win. This is the likeliest reason why the United States are favored despite their recent struggles in the event.
