Besides PGA Tour events, Robert MacIntyre looks to make it to this year's team for Europe’s Ryder Cup defense. The 2023 Ryder Cup, which was held in Italy at Marco Simone Golf Club, saw MacIntyre put up a game-winning display on his debut as he defeated U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark in match twelve.

In February this year, MacIntyre opened up about his Ryder Cup expectations and the crowd atmosphere, saying:

"It's going to be good. I'm hoping I'm going to get there and that's my plan is to get there. I think when the boys get there, we need to embrace it. It's going to be rough, but if you play well and you can bring the energy from yourself to them as well, then you just got to try and enjoy it as much as you can," MacIntyre said.

As of now, MacIntyre is positioned 18th in the OWGR (Official World Golf Ranking) and has five professional wins across the DP World Tour (2), PGA Tour (2), and Challenge Tour (1).

In June last year, Robert MacIntyre won the RBC Canadian Open, finishing ahead of Ben Griffin with a score of 2-under 68 in the final round. During the aforementioned interview with SkySports, he also detailed his second PGA Tour victory at the 2024 Genesis Scottish Open, defeating Adam Scott by one stroke with a birdie on the last hole.

MacIntyre concluded his 2024 season with six top-10 finishes, and made the cut in 15 of the 25 tournaments he participated in.
