Golf fans, rejoice! The 2025 Ryder Cup is officially upon us.
The 45th edition of the biennial match-play event between the United States and Europe will begin next Friday, Sept. 26, through Sunday, Sept. 28, at Farmingdale, New York’s Bethpage Black Course. The last four tournaments have been back-and-forth, with each team trading wins and losses since 2016—setting the stage for another thrilling contest this time around.
