Farmingdale, New York — Ryder Cup Drama Heads to Bethpage Black

Golf fans, strap in. The 2025 Ryder Cup is barreling toward Long Island and promises the kind of high-voltage, flag-waving theatre that makes this event a must-watch every two years. This is a rivalry dressed up in match-play ferocity, team pride, and a little bit of spectacle — and it will unfold at one of the game’s most feared layouts.

Where and When

The 2025 Ryder Cup will take place from September 26-28 at Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York. Bethpage Black is brutal, black-dog tough, and built to eat up mistakes. Expect drama, missed short putts, hero saves, and plenty of pressure on the par-3s and tight fairways.

LIV Golf Faces Off on Both Sides

Three LIV Golf players will participate: Bryson DeChambeau for Team USA, Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton for Team Europe. That trio adds another spicy layer — big personalities and heavy hitters who know how to win under pressure.

Format and Stakes

The Ryder Cup features a total of 24 players, with 12 representing Europe and 12 representing the USA. It’s all match play, where every hole is a battle and the scoreboard moves point by point. The competition format is match play, with a total of 28 points available over three days.

Here’s how the three-day sparring will break down:

• The first day will consist of 8 matches (4 Foursomes and 4 Fourballs).
• The second day will also consist of 8 matches (4 Foursomes and 4 Fourballs).
• The final day will feature 12 Singles matches, where players compete head-to-head.

Each match is worth one point, with ties resulting in each side earning a half-point. That means every half-point can feel like a medal on the line. A team needs to earn 14.5 points to win the Ryder Cup outright; if points are tied at 14-14, Europe retains the Cup as reigning title holders.

History and Headlines

The Ryder Cup has been held since 1927, with this year marking its 45th edition. The event evolved from a USA vs Great Britain showdown into a continental war in 1979. Between 1927-1977, it was contested between the USA and Great Britain, later evolving to include Continental Europe as Team Europe in 1979.

Historically, the USA leads the Ryder Cup series with 27 wins, 15 losses, and 2 ties; however, Europe has been more successful in recent decades. That stat shows how the balance of power has shifted — and how each side brings motivation to tilt the ledger in their favor.

Who’s Playing

The captains have loaded the teams with big names, experience, and firepower. The roster of players includes notable names such as:

• Team USA: Bryson DeChambeau, Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, and others.
• Team Europe: Jon Rahm, Tyrrell Hatton, Viktor Hovland, Tommy Fleetwood, and others.

Individual experience matters in these heat-of-battle moments. Bryson DeChambeau is making his third Ryder Cup appearance, with a career record of 2-3-1 overall. Jon Rahm is making his fourth Ryder Cup appearance, holding a record of 6-3-3 and earning a total of 7.5 points in previous matches. Tyrrell Hatton is also making his fourth appearance, with a record of 5-4-2 and earning 6 points in previous Ryder Cups.

Both Team captains, Keegan Bradley (USA) and Luke Donald (Europe), will be actively managing their teams throughout the tournament. Expect bold lineup moves, strategic pairings, and captain’s picks to become hot talking points at every turn.

Recent Form and Broadcast

Team USA is coming off victories in the 2021 and 2019 Ryder Cups, while Europe aims to break their recent streak of losses on American soil. Home advantage and momentum both matter — and the crowd will have as much sway as the course.

The event will be broadcast on major U.S. networks, with additional streaming available on streaming platforms. Coverage will bring every nail-biting moment to living rooms and devices, with early-morning features and breakfast matches kicking things off each day.

Why This Matters

The Ryder Cup is more than a tournament; it’s a spectacle of national pride, team tactics, and personalities clashing in short bursts of match play. With Bethpage Black as the arena and a roster stacked with stars — including three players with LIV Golf ties — this edition feels primed for classic Ryder Cup moments.
