The stage is set for one of the most anticipated showdowns in recent golfing history. The 2025 Ryder Cup, the biennial clash between Team USA and Team Europe, has its official dates confirmed, promising a spectacle of raw passion and elite competition.
The battle for the famous gold trophy will commence on Friday, 26th September 2025, and reach its dramatic conclusion on Sunday, 28th September at the formidable Bethpage Black Course in New York.
A Fortress Awaits: Bethpage Black's Daunting Challenge
This marks a historic first for the iconic Bethpage Black, a public course renowned for its brutal difficulty and the infamous "Warning" sign at its first tee. The notoriously long and demanding layout, a former U.S. Open venue, will provide a formidable test for both teams, favouring powerful hitters and strategic masterminds.
The choice of New York sets the scene for a fiercely partisan American crowd, eager to witness the USA team defend the title they won convincingly at Whistling Straits in 2021. The European team, however, will be determined to silence the crowd and reclaim the cup on foreign soil.
