Rasmus Hojgaard opened up about his experience at the 2025 Ryder Cup, comparing it to the 2023 edition. The Danish golfer made his debut at the biennial tournament, held at Bethpage Black, in September, having been a spectator in the previous edition in Rome. Nicolai Hojgaard played for the European team that year, and Rasmus was present to support his brother.

Ahead of the Sanderson Farms Championship, a fall-season PGA Tour event, Rasmus was asked by reporters about the difference in the Ryder Cup atmosphere.

"The Ryder Cup in Rome, I guess I was part of the team in a way, but I wasn't really in the players' team room," he said on Wednesday. "I stayed away from that. It was certainly a different environment being a player and being there with everyone, especially in New York, and it was super special. I think Luke and his whole team did prepare us well for whatever we were going to face."

Rasmus Hojgaard played in the Friday fourball alongside Ludvig Aberg, but Justin Thomas and Cameron Young won the matchup for Team USA 6&5. He then returned to play in the Sunday singles but lost to Ben Griffin.

"I still have some things that I'd like to achieve for the rest of the year, and I had this planned all the time that I was going to play this week and play Japan next week. Whatever the outcome would have been last week, I was still going to tee it up this week.

"Yeah, just had to prepare myself that the energy level might be a little lower than it would be normally. But certainly I'm still going to prepare myself as well as I can."

Rasmus is looking for his first win of the season this week at the Sanderson Farms Championship. He was tied for 12th at the WM Phoenix Open, T16 at The Open, and T23 at the Truist Championship. He had two runner-up finishes on the DP World Tour this season: at the Danish Golf Championship and the Omega European Masters.
