U.S. Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley explains the emotions that go along with playing at Bethpage.
The 2025 Ryder Cup will bring some of the biggest names in golf to one of its most challenging courses in what figures to be quite the spectacle.
The biennial tournament will feature stars from both the United States and Europe. The U.S. contingent includes world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, as well as top-10 ranked players like Russell Henley, Xander Schauffele, and Justin Thomas. Europe, meanwhile, will call on formidable players like Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, and Robert MacIntyre.
The United States will look to end a rough run at the Ryder Cup dating back to 2002. Over the last 11 editions of the tournament, Europe has come out on top eight times, but there is some good news for team captain Keegan Bradley: the host has won five consecutive Ryder Cup crowns, and a boisterous crowd is expected at Bethpage Black in New York:

Where is the Ryder Cup location? What to know about Bethpage Black
The 2025 Ryder Cup will bring teams representing the United States and Europe to the famed Black Course at Bethpage State Park.
Bethpage Black is located in Farmingdale, New York, roughly an hour east of Manhattan. The Long Island golf course has hosted some big events in recent years, including the 2002 and 2009 editions of the U.S. Open as well as the 2019 PGA Championship. The par-71 course is considered a major test even for the best professional golfers, while its location near New York City makes for easy access for a big, noisy crowd.
The venue was chosen all the way back in 2013, though Bethpage Black was originally set to host the 2024 Ryder Cup. However, a delay caused by the Covid-19 pandemic pushed the tournament – which is played every other year at venues alternating between the U.S. and Europe – back a year, bringing one of golf’s biggest events to the notoriously challenging course in 2025.
