Golf news

The highly anticipated Ryder Cup week has finally arrived! The 2025 Ryder Cup, a keenly awaited showdown between Europe and the U.S., is set to kick off this Friday at Bethpage Black, promising an entire weekend of thrilling golf action.

Team Europe arrives in New York harboring strong ambitions for their first away victory since 2012. However, historical trends suggest the U.S. might be favored to lift the trophy on Sunday, as neither team has secured an away win in the last six Ryder Cup editions. The pressure is on for both sides!

With both teams finalized and the course meticulously prepared, here`s a comprehensive guide to everything you need to know about the 2025 Ryder Cup.

How to Watch the Ryder Cup

Golf enthusiasts around the globe can catch the Ryder Cup live. The entire event will be broadcast on Sky Sports in the UK, NBC in the U.S., Fancode in India, and Fox Sports in Australia. Be sure to check your local listings for exact channel information.

Ryder Cup Match Schedule

The competition begins on Friday, September 26th, featuring two distinct sessions: Foursomes in the morning and Four-ball in the afternoon.

  • In Foursomes, two players from each team alternate shots using a single ball. This format demands precision and seamless teamwork.
  • In Four-ball, each of the two players on a team plays their own ball. The team`s lowest score on each hole is then counted. This often leads to more aggressive play and lower scores.

Saturday will follow a similar format, with morning Foursomes sessions and afternoon Four-ball sessions. Sunday marks the dramatic climax, with all 24 players participating in 12 individual singles matches to determine the Ryder Cup champion. Every point counts!
