Golf-McIlroy first to qualify for Team Europe at Ryder Cup
Jun 15, 2025; Oakmont, Pennsylvania, USA; Rory McIlroy plays his shot from the 12th tee during the final round of the U.S. Open golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Bill Streicher-Imagn Images (Reuters) -Rory McIlroy became the first player to qualify for Europe for the 2025 Ryder Cup, the team announced on Monday, with the Masters champion set to make his eighth consecutive appearance in the biennial event. McIlroy sealed his spot through the European Points List, a qualification pathway based on performances in DP World Tour and co-sanctioned events, as the Northern Irishman has enjoyed four victories so far since last August. The 35-year-old completed a long-sought career Grand Slam at Augusta National in April, on top of victories at the Dubai DP World Tour Championship in November, the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, and The Players Championship. A top-20 finish at the U.S. Open over the weekend was enough to mathematically guarantee his place on the team. The 2025 Ryder Cup will be held at Bethpage Black in New York from September 26–28, with European captain Luke Donald set to round out his 12-man squad later this year through six automatic qualifiers and six captain's picks. "It's always a huge honour to represent Europe in the Ryder Cup, so it means a great deal to have qualified for my eighth in a row and to be part of Luke's team again at Bethpage," McIlroy said. "Winning a Ryder Cup away from home is one of the biggest challenges there is in golf. We know it is going to be tough in New York, but we are all looking forward to that challenge in September and the opportunity to potentially do something special." McIlroy has been a Ryder Cup mainstay since his debut in 2010, helping Europe to five victories in seven appearances. (Reporting by Janina Nuno Rios in Mexico CityEditing by Christian Radnedge)

History beckons for the legends in Greece
MAJOR champions, Ryder Cup players and global winners all gathered for the fourth regular event of the Legends Tour season, the Costa Navarino Legends Tour Trophy this week. The Legends Tour returned to Greece for the second Costa Navarino Legends Tour Trophy, with Paul Lawrie, Michael Campbell, Scott Hend and Stephen Gallacher headling an international field with players from all six inhabited continents. In addition to seven former Ryder Cup players, two-time DP World Tour champion Anthony Wall was making his debut and PGA Tour winner Bo Van Pelt was playing in his first regular Legends Tour event, having made his over-50s bow at the recent Senior PGA Championship in America – the first of three majors that count on this year's Order of Merit. It was another American who wrote his name in the history books last year as Clark Dennis won the inaugural Costa Navarino Legends Tour Trophy with a score of 17-under. The Texan was relishing the prospect of defending his title in Greece after enjoying his first visit to the country so much 12 months ago. 'It was great. The venue was just amazing from the start. I thought the courses were brilliant and we just had a fantastic time the whole week. 'There's a lot of history and a lot of fun things to see, and the resort is incredible. 'I can't recommend it highly enough for people to go and experience it,' he said. Scoring was incredibly low on the Bay 12 months ago, but it was the Olympic where Dennis came to the fore with two rounds of 66 to come through the field and win by four shots. 'The Olympic is a good course. I thought it was fair. It's scorable if you drive it in the fairway, but if you start to drive it a little crooked, it can be tough,' he said.
