ジャスティン・ローズ、ベスページ・ブラックで開催される2025年ライダーカップを前に、アメリカのチーム結束戦略を批判
The RDER Cup is heating up and Europe’s own Justin Rose has sparked some debate by questioning how well the United States truly understands what it takes to form a winning team. With the highly anticipated event just days away at Beth Paige Black in New York, Rose, a seasoned Ryder Cup veteran, suggests that America’s focus on forced camaraderie might actually be a weakness rather than a strength. But here’s where it gets controversial. He believes the US is trying too hard to manufacture a team spirit. Whereas Europe’s unity comes from a deeper, more natural connection. Justin Rose, a 45-year-old English golfer preparing for his seventh RDER Cup, offered his perspective on the key differences between the two sides. According to Rose, Europe’s team chemistry feels more organic and rooted in a shared history and identity that goes beyond just being good friends. This subtle yet crucial distinction could give the European squad a unique edge. He pointed out that while the American players have definitely developed stronger bonds in recent years, forming pockets of genuine friendship, the US approach often equates being a great team with being best buddies. Rose counters this idea with his own insight. A successful team isn’t necessarily about having the closest friendships, but about embracing a clear collective vision and identity passed down from former players. You don’t need to be having the time of your life together to be a great team, Rose explained. Although naturally, we tend to enjoy ourselves, he feels the American team’s deliberate effort to forge unity sometimes ends up feeling forced. By contrast, Europe’s team spirit appears more spontaneous and authentic, growing from long-standing traditions and a shared commitment that runs deeper than just surface level friendships. Turning to the electric atmosphere expected at Beth Page Black, Rose acknowledged the reputation of New York sports fans for their passionate and sometimes rowdy support. Rory Mroy revealed recently that Team Europe has been using virtual reality to simulate and mentally prepare for the intense crowd energy they anticipate. Though Rose didn’t mention this technology directly. Instead, he focused on the psychological mindset the team needs to withstand the pressure. He described the New York crowd as chaotic and unpredictable, suggesting that their wild enthusiasm could become overwhelming, but maybe even manageable once it blends into background noise. “Sometimes too much noise can be easier to handle than a few sharply focused distractions,” he noted. Rose emphasizes the importance of mental resilience, encouraging players to accept the noise without reacting negatively, to absorb it and let it roll off their backs. We’re going in prepared to face whatever comes at us, even if we don’t fully know what to expect. He said that mental toughness, he believes, will be crucial to performing well amid the intense atmosphere. You’re going to need resilience 100%. What it will really be like in person, well, that’s the big unknown, but it’s going to be wild. Looking ahead, fans can look forward to comprehensive live coverage throughout Rder Cup week beginning on Monday, September 22nd. Team Europe will aim to reclaim the trophy, hoping to make history with a victory on American soil. Coverage will kick off early on Friday, September 26th, with buildup from 9:00 a.m. and full live play starting at noon. For those without access to traditional broadcasts, streaming options are available. This upcoming RDER Cup promises drama not only on the Greens, but also in the clash of philosophies between two very different approaches to team building. Does creating a winning team depend more on heartfelt friendship? Or is it about embracing a shared legacy and collective purpose? What do you think? Are the Americans on the right track by focusing so much on bonding? Or is Europe’s more traditional organic approach superior? Feel free to share your thoughts and join the conversation because when it comes to the Rder Cup, the debate is as fierce as the competition itself.
