Tournament Overview and Key Information

The 45th Ryder Cup Matches will be held in the United States from September 26–28, 2025, on the Black Course of Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, New York. Europe is the holder of the Ryder Cup after its win over the United States in 2023 at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club.

Bethpage Black is located in New York municipal course and is hosting the Ryder Cup for the first time in 2025. Opened in 1936, Bethpage Black was designed by Joseph H. Burbeck and A. W. Tillinghast. It hosted Metropolitan PGA events such as the New York State Open and was first chosen as a venue for a top-level tournament at the 2002 U.S. Open, which Tiger Woods won.

Competition Format and Schedule

Three-Day Match Play Format

The competition will begin on Friday, September 26, with morning foursomes (alternate shot) followed by four-ball in the afternoon. The same schedule will be played on Saturday, September 27, before The Ryder Cup concludes with 12 singles matches on Sunday, September 28.

In foursomes, players alternate shots. The lowest score wins the hole. If the scores are the same, the hole is ruled a tie. In four-balls, every golfer plays their own ball. Whoever records the lowest individual score wins the hole. If the two lowest scores are the same, the hole is ruled a tie.

Historical Format Success

This marks the third consecutive Ryder Cup to feature foursomes followed by four-ball on the opening two days, and the 13th time since 1981 the format has been used. History favors the Americans when this setup is in play: the U.S. owns a 9-3-1 record in Ryder Cups where foursomes have led off play on both Friday and Saturday.

Team Captains and Leadership

Team USA Leadership

Keegan Bradley was named the U.S. team captain on July 8, 2024, becoming the youngest Ryder Cup captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963. For the U.S. team, Webb Simpson, Brandt Snedeker, Kevin Kisner, Jim Furyk, and Gary Woodland were selected as the five vice captains by Bradley.

Team Europe Leadership

Luke Donald was named as the European team captain on November 29, 2023, retaining the role from Europe's victorious 2023 campaign. He became the first European to repeat his captaincy since Bernard Gallacher in 1993. For the European team, Thomas Bjørn, Alex Norén, Edoardo Molinari, José María Olazábal and Francesco Molinari were selected as the five vice captains.

Bethpage Black Course Details

Course History and Design

Bethpage State Park, established in 1934, spans nearly 600 hectares (about 1,500 acres) and includes picnic areas, tennis courts, and five full-length 18-hole golf courses. The Black Course having hosted multiple U.S. Opens and a PGA Championship, is by far the most famous.

Key Players to Watch

Team USA Stars

World number one Scottie Scheffler secured his qualification in June and leads a strong American team. After entering 2025 with just nine career top-10s, Ben Griffin produced a breakout season that earned his Ryder Cup debut. He recorded his first two career wins, added a runner-up finish, and piled up 10 top-10s to finish ninth in the U.S. standings.

Bryson DeChambeau earned his spot despite competing only in major championships, while veterans like Justin Thomas and Collin Morikawa bring valuable Ryder Cup experience.

Team Europe Standouts

This has probably been the best season of Tommy Fleetwood's career. Not only did he win the Tour Championship and the FedEx Cup, but if you read anything into data and statistics, you'll find only Scottie Scheffler has been better.

Rory McIlroy returns for his eighth Ryder Cup, while Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland add star power to the European squad. Rasmus Hojgaard and his brother Nicolai have expressed an ambition to play in a Ryder Cup together, but that will have to wait after Rasmus qualified automatically, but Nicolai, who was a 2023 wildcard pick, missed out.

What Makes the Ryder Cup Special

Unique Competition Format

What sets the Ryder Cup apart from other golf tournaments is its intense atmosphere. The competition between Europe and the USA creates an electric environment on the course, with passionate fans cheering on their respective teams. The pressure can be immense for players as they strive to deliver clutch shots under scrutiny.

Statistical Trends

Since the rest of Europe came to rescue Great Britain and Ireland after yet another United States victory in 1977, the Ryder Cup became one of the fiercely competitive sports events on the planet. Apart from the occasional one-sided battering, many of these 21 editions have been keenly contested, including 10 that were decided by just two points or fewer.

Europe have won 11 of these contests compared to USA's nine while there has just been one tie back in the dramatic 1989 edition at the Belfry.

Key Viewing Points for Fans

Session Strategies

USA have won 13 singles sessions and lifted nine of those Ryder Cups – although one of those years (1989) resulted in a 14-14 tie. Their singles successes in 1987, 1997, and 2010 were unable to prevent Europe hanging on to their previously built leads.

Despite USA's overall singles dominance, Europe have become much stronger in this format since the turn of the century. They've won six of the last 10 singles sessions.

Historic Comebacks

Although Europeans would want to declare the Miracle of Medinah as the greatest Ryder Cup comeback of all time, you actually have to give that honour to USA for their brilliance in Brookline. Both of course had to overturn 10-6 deficits on the final day, but 1999 was the only time when a team has won having trailed at the end of every session before the singles.
