Europe are the reigning champions having taken back the famous trophy in Rome two years ago, though only have two wins on American soil this century – and none since the ‘Miracle at Medinah’ in 2012, having suffered heavy losses at both Hazeltine and Whistling Straits since then.
It is a star-studded field in New York, with the likes of Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood and Justin Rose representing the Europeans, and Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Bryson DeChambeau in the American team.
He is the first European to retain his captaincy since Bernard Gallacher back in 1993 and will have his sights firmly set on a rare away triumph.
When is the Ryder Cup 2025?
The action gets underway today on Friday, September 26, and runs until Sunday, September 28.
Bethpage State Park plays host to this year’s Ryder Cup, on its Black Course.
It is the second time that New York is hosting the event, with the most recent coming at the Oak Hill Country Club in 1995. Europe won 14.5 to 13.5 then and will be hoping for a similar result this time around.

Full format and schedule for Ryder Cup 2025
There will be two four-match sessions of foursomes and two four-match sessions of fourball, before all 12 players are involved on Sunday for the singles.
Bradley, as the home captain, decided which format kicks the action off.
The foursomes are up first, where players compete in pairs and take alternate shots on the same ball.
The focus will then shift to the fourball matches, where players hit their own ball and the lowest score for each team on each hole is used.
One point is on offer in each match, with half a point going to each team should a match remain all square after 18 holes.

Ryder Cup 2025 weather forecast
There has already been plenty of inclement weather at Bethpage Black this week, with the opening ceremony planned for Thursday brought forward 24 hours as a result.
However, things are expected to get better on Friday, with showers and cloud clearing in the early morning.
There is a chance of the odd shower on Saturday and potentially overnight ahead of Sunday’s play, but otherwise it should be mostly sunny and pleasant conditions in New York.
