In the latest European Ryder Cup team rankings, Tommy Fleetwood has moved up to No. 2
The 2025 Ryder Cup is Sept. 26-28 at Bethpage Black.
Tommy Fleetwood may have suffered a crushing defeat Sunday at the Travelers Championship but maybe he can exact some revenge on Keegan Bradley in September at Bethpage at the 2025 Ryder Cup.
The Ryder Cup rankings for both the U.S. and European teams were updated Sunday and Fleetwood has moved all the way up to No. 2. The top six after the Betfred British Masters on Aug. 24 will be automatic qualifiers for the Euro squad. Rory McIlroy is No. 1 and he is the only European player to have already clinched a spot but Fleetwood seems to be in fine position to make a fourth Ryder Cup team.

The members of the top six spots are mostly the same since the last update with Fleetwood having moved up from No. 7.
The rest of the top 12 for 2025 European Ryder Cup team
With Fleetwood moving into the top six, Rasmus Hojgaard got bumped out but he's right there at No. 7.
On the European side, nine of the 12 2023 Ryder Cuppers are in the top 12 in the rankings for 2025 as things stand now. That leaves three with some work to do.

🎥 Atlético's bittersweet win: Simeone, Griezmann out, Botafogo through
Atlético beat Botafogo 1‑0, but it was a victory with a very bitter taste. Simeone's team, in fact, needed to win by at least three goals to qualify for the next round of the Club World Cup, but despite a generous finish and a goal by Griezmann in the 86th minute, the result was not enough. What was surprising was Botafogo's resilience, able to withstand the Colchoneros' onslaught in a match of the highest intensity and to achieve a historic qualification in a group that, on paper, seemed prohibitive. 😥 Atlético dominant, but ineffective Looking at the numbers, Atlético Madrid literally besieged Botafogo for long stretches of the match. The home side produced 23 shots to their opponents' 7, creating 5 big chances compared to just one by the Brazilians. Ball possession clearly favored the rojiblancos at 61%. Advertisement Despite this constant pressure, Botafogo's goalkeeper stood out with 4 decisive saves, one more than Oblak, and Atlético ended the first half with 21 touches in the opposition box without scoring—a figure never so high in an away game since 2019. That time it was against Levante, and even then, they lacked finishing. History repeated itself, with elimination coming as the logical consequence of a dominant but sterile team. 🇧🇷 Botafogo, a Brazilian feat Botafogo's progression to the next round is one of the biggest surprises of this edition of the Club World Cup. After a convincing debut, the Brazilian side withstood Atlético's pressure and clinched a ticket to the knockout stage with heart, organization, and individual performances worthy of framing. Among these, Alexander Barboza stood out as a true defensive bulwark: against Atlético, he made 13 clearances, won 5 tackles, made 3 interceptions, and recorded 22 total defensive actions—all the highest in the match. He also shone in duels, winning 11 out of 16, and showcased technical skills with 2 successful dribbles out of 3 attempted. An insurmountable wall who perfectly embodied the spirit of a never-say-die Botafogo, deservedly among the best in the tournament. ❌ Simeone, a costly fall Elimination in the group stage is a harsh blow for Atlético Madrid, all the more so in a group where they were considered among the favorites. It is the third time in the Simeone era that the team has failed to progress from the group stage of an international competition: it happened in the Champions League in the 2017/18 and 2022/23 seasons, and now the 2025 Club World Cup is added to the list. And Atléti is also the first European team eliminated from the competition. A rare and resounding failure for a technical project that has made compactness and a winning mentality its hallmarks. This time, however, it was not enough. Atlético left the field to applause from their fans, but also with the awareness that they had squandered a great opportunity.

Paris Saint-Germain beats the Seattle Sounders 2-0 to reach Club World Cup round of 16
SEATTLE (AP) — Paris Saint-Germain didn't allow a single shot on goal as the European powerhouse beat the Seattle Sounders 2-0 on Monday and advanced to the Club World Cup round of 16. Paris Saint-Germain opened the scoring in the 35th minute when a shot from Vitinha that would've finished well wide of the net hit teammate Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and deflected into it. The UEFA Champions League winners scored again in the 66th minute as the Sounders' transition defense broke down. Seattle failed to locate Achraf Hakimi, who was wide open by the back post. Bradley Barcola's pass found him with plenty of time to control and strike. Paris Saint-Germain won Group B on a goal-differential tie after Atlético Madrid defeated Botafogo 1-0. The 68,740-capacity Lumen Field was lively with 50,628 fans. Jordan Morris returned to the pitch for the Sounders for the first time since April to a massive home-crowd ovation. It was a meaningful moment for fans as Morris, who grew up in the area, played a key role in helping his longtime franchise qualify for the Club World Cup. Takeaways ___
