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.[1] Europe needs 14 points to retain the cup, while the United States needs 14+1⁄2 points to win the cup.

Venue

[edit]

In 2013, the PGA of America announced that Bethpage Black, a public golf course in Bethpage State Park on Long Island, New York, would host the 2019 PGA Championship as well as the 2024 Ryder Cup (later delayed to 2025).[2] Opened in 1936, Bethpage Black was designed by Joseph H. Burbeck and A. W. Tillinghast.[3] 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.[4][5]

It was the second time New York had been selected as host of the Ryder Cup, after the 1995 Ryder Cup at Oak Hill Country Club, which Europe won 14+1⁄2 to 13+1⁄2.[2]

[edit]

The Ryder Cup is a match play event, with each match worth one point. The competition format will be as follows:

  • Day 1 (Friday) – 4 foursome (alternate shot) matches in the morning, and 4 fourball (better ball) matches in the afternoon
  • Day 2 (Saturday) – 4 foursome matches in the morning, and 4 fourball matches in the afternoon
  • Day 3 (Sunday) – 12 singles matches

The sessions in which the foursome and fourball matches are played on the first two days is chosen by the home team captain; Keegan Bradley's decision was announced on August 25.[7]

With a total of 28 points available, 14+1⁄2 points are required to win the Cup, and 14 points are required for the defending champion to retain the Cup. All matches are played to a maximum of 18 holes.[8]

Teams

[edit]

Captains

[edit]

Keegan Bradley was named the U.S. team captain on July 8, 2024, becoming the youngest Ryder Cup captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963.[9] 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.[10]

Vice captains

[edit]

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.[11]

For the European team, Thomas Bjørn, Alex Norén, Edoardo Molinari, José María Olazábal and Francesco Molinari were selected as the five vice captains, all apart from Noren rejoining with Donald from the previous edition of the competition.[12]

  • Major Championships: 5,000 points per event.
  • PGA Tour Signature Events, The Players Championship, and FedExCup Playoffs: 3,000 points per event.
  • DP World Tour Rolex Series Events and PGA Tour Regular FedEx Cup Events: 2,000 points per event.
  • DP World Tour 'Back 9' Events: 1,500 points per event.
  • DP World Tour 'Global Series' Events and PGA TOUR 'Opposite' Events: 1,000 points per event.
