Patriotism Meets Pressure at Bethpage Black
The 2025 Ryder Cup promises fierce competition and thrilling matchups that redefine team golf. For the 45th edition, the iconic showdown between Team USA and Team Europe returns to American soil.
Bethpage Black in New York will host the rowdiest three-day spectacle in golf. This isn’t your average weekend at the course—this is rivalry golf on turbo. Typically reserved players and polite fans will come alive as Bethpage’s legendary crowd fuels every match.
The stakes? Enormous. Europe claimed victory in 2023 on Italian turf, and now Team USA is hungrier than ever to reclaim the nearly 100-year-old trophy.
Who is playing in the 2025 Ryder Cup?

Where is the 2025 Ryder Cup?
The 2025 Ryder Cup will take place at Bethpage Black—one of the most brutal, bucket-list courses in America. It’s hosted two U.S. Opens and a PGA Championship, but this will be its first Ryder Cup, and Long Island’s intense crowd energy is already legendary.
Tiger Woods made history here in 2002 as the only player to shoot under par during the U.S. Open. This time, the battle isn’t just personal—it’s patriotic.
What are the 2025 Ryder Cup Dates & How Can I Watch?
Mark your calendar: the Ryder Cup tees off Friday, September 26, and runs through Sunday, September 28. Whether you’re attending in person or tuning in from home, this is must-watch golf.
Live coverage begins Friday on USA Network, then shifts to NBC and Peacock for the weekend. The Golf Channel will feature nightly recaps all three days.
What to Watch For at the 45th Ryder Cup
The golfers competing at Bethpage Black should have plenty of experience navigating this brutal Long Island course. Rory McIlroy has had the most success at Bethpage, having finished 8th at the 2019 PGA Championship. The 36-year-old McIlroy is a Ryder Cup veteran and will be making his 8th consecutive appearance.
While McIlroy is certainly a big name in the golf game, he's been overshadowed recently by the dominance of Scottie Scheffler. The world's number one-ranked player has picked up several wins on the PGA Tour in 2025, including the PGA Championship and The Open Championship at Royal Portrush. Scheffler is looking to bounce back from a disappointing performance at the 2023 Ryder Cup, in which he failed to pick up a victory.
Team Europe has dominated the Ryder Cup over the last two decades, winning eight of the last eleven competitions dating back to 2002. That being said, American fans shouldn't lose hope. The last time the Ryder Cup was on U.S. soil, Team USA cruised to a commanding victory at Whistling Straits. Who knows — the raucous Long Island crowd just might bolster the chances of an American victory.
Two Bold Predictions
- The home course advantage, depth, and top-end talent (Scheffler) carry Team USA to the championship.
- This year’s final tally matches the one-point wins of 1991, 2010, and 2012.
