Farmingdale, New York — Ryder Cup heads to Bethpage Black with a full-throttle schedule and high drama
Get ready, golf fans. The 2025 Ryder Cup lands at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale from September 26-28, and the preliminary itinerary has just been released. If you love early-morning tension, electric crowds and match-play theatrics, this edition promises to serve it up on a platter.
Fast facts on the schedule
The governing body released a preliminary rundown that covers practice rounds, press activities and the all-important tee times. The tournament opens with the first foursomes session on Friday, September 26, and the European side will play the ceremonial opening shot. The morning session kicks off at 7:10 a.m. EDT, with the next matches teeing off at 7:26 a.m., 7:42 a.m. and 7:58 a.m.. Afternoon four-ball starts at 12:25 p.m. EDT, and matches will follow every 16 minutes.
Saturday mirrors Friday’s tempo with the same morning foursomes and afternoon four-ball rhythm. Sunday is reserved for singles. The first singles match is slated for 12:02 p.m. EDT, then each match will head off every 11 minutes, with the final tee time set for 2:03 p.m. EDT. Organizers expect the matches to finish up around 5 p.m. EDT, with a tentative trophy presentation at 6 p.m. EDT.
Teams, momentum and preparation
On paper and in the betting lanes, Team Europe arrives with steam. Betting data shows about twice as many wagers on Europe compared to the U.S., and recent form backs that up. Several European players have bagged strong results this season, creating a sense that the squad is humming. The Americans aren’t without firepower, though — the U.S. still holds the all-time series lead by a wide margin, but European teams have dominated recent matchups, winning eight of the last eleven Ryder Cups since 2002.
Team preparation stories add color to the contest. Europe has leaned into modern methods, using virtual reality headsets to rehearse noisy crowds and pressure-packed scenarios so players are less likely to be unsettled by raucous galleries at Bethpage Black. That tech approach pairs with a long-term emphasis on culture and continuity — a legacy effect from past players that helps newcomers slot into team life quickly.
The U.S. squad has focused more on getting competitive minutes under their belts; ten of the 12 U.S. members were on the course at the recent Procore Championship. On the European side, all but one of their players turned up for the BMW PGA Championship. That means both sides are battle-sharp, and there’s no shortage of match practice heading into late September.
Tactics, cohesion and the intangible edge
Beyond stats and tee sheets, Ryder Cup success often comes down to chemistry — how pairs gel in foursomes and four-ball, how captains read momentum, and how players handle noisy galleries on tight holes. Europe’s narrative this cycle has centered on organic team bonding and a deep-rooted culture that carries through from one Ryder Cup to the next. Meanwhile, the U.S. has emphasized structured building blocks to forge unity, an approach that some perceive as more manufactured than natural.
Historical context matters here. The Ryder Cup started back in 1927 as a contest between the United States and Great Britain. Over time the field expanded to include Ireland, and by 1979 the event evolved into the modern U.S. vs. Europe format that fans know today. That long history feeds the rivalry — and the pride both teams bring to Bethpage Black.
What to watch at Bethpage Black
- Early starts: Morning sessions begin before the city fully wakes, and a packed opening tee time could set the tone for the week.
- Tech in practice: Europe’s VR rehearsals could blunt home-crowd advantage, especially on noisy or narrow holes.
- Form vs. legacy: Recent wins and strong season form are on Europe’s side, but the U.S. holds historical momentum and the depth to swing match-play outcomes.
- Watch the pairings: Foursomes and four-ball chemistry will be crucial; pairings will likely reveal captains’ strategies for Week One and Sunday singles.
Bottom line
This Ryder Cup is shaping up to be a classic: tight scheduling, early-morning drama, and two well-prepared teams ready to battle on a legendary public course. Whether you’re tracking tee times, betting markets, or team chemistry, Bethpage Black is guaranteed to deliver noise, drama and golf at its most combustible.
