<p>However, with the tournament set to take place at the Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York, between September 26 and September 28 as part of its 45th edition, we’ve decided to have a closer look at some of the other markets that could potentially offer additional value!</p>

<h2>Ryder Cup 2025: Alternative Betting Markets</h2>
<p>In our previous articles, we’ve already highlighted our main 2025 Ryder Cup betting predictions, including who we think will be the outright winner, which players could be the top points scorers for their respective teams, and where there is value in the ‘Correct Score’ market.</p>
<p>Still, with the sporting event as big as it is, and with three days of exceptional golf to be played in the US, we’ve thought about a few other markets that can potentially offer additional value.</p>
<h2>To Hit the Opening Tee Shot - USA</h2>
<p>The ‘<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/golf/the-ryder-cup/to-hit-the-opening-tee-shot-usa-9573805">To Hit the Opening Tee Shot - USA</a>’ market offers plenty of value, as Keegan Bradley could go with any of his 12 players. The favourite in the latest odds is Scottie Scheffler, with the world’s number 1 golfer likely to be a confident hand at the opening tee.</p>
<p>Still, we like the value offered in Bryson DeChambeau, with the LIV Golf player a dark horse. He is known for his power and driving ability. If Team USA wants to get down the course as far as possible as early as possible, DeChambeau may be the best pick, which makes it worth a punt.</p>
<h2>To Hit the Opening Tee Shot - Europe</h2>
<p>Alternatively, you can bet on who will <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/golf/the-ryder-cup/to-hit-the-opening-tee-shot-europe-9583964">take the first tee shot for Team Europe</a>. Luke Donald will have 12 quality players to think about from the opening tee box. Rory McIlroy is currently the favourite to take the first shot in the odds.</p>
<p>However, we like the price that Jon Rahm is being offered at. The Spaniard has historically been in the opening pair for Europe in recent Ryder Cups and is a strong favourite to start again. He has plenty of experience. His average driving distance is about 315 to 320 yards, which ranks among the longest on the PGA Tour.</p>
<h2>Team to Win 1st Full Point</h2>
<p>The ‘<a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/golf/the-ryder-cup/team-to-win-1st-full-point-9573689">Team to Win 1st Full Point</a>’ is a simple bet to follow and simply requires punters to make a 50/50 decision about who they believe will claim the first full point of the 2025 Ryder Cup.</p>
<p>The latest odds have Team USA as the opening favourite, and history suggests this will be the case in the 45th edition. The home team is usually able to capitalise on the home crowd support and take the momentum from it.</p>
