The wait is finally almost over. We are into Ryder Cup week.
The eagerly anticipated battle between Europe and U.S. for the 2025 Ryder Cup commences at Bethpage Black on Friday, with a whole weekend of unmissable golfing action coming your way.
Europe head to New York with genuine hope of a first away win since 2012, but history does suggest that it will be the U.S. who will lift the Ryder Cup on Sunday — neither side has managed to win away in the past six editions of the event.
The teams have been selected, the course is prepped and ready, so here is all you need to know about the 2025 Ryder Cup.
How to watch the Ryder Cup?
The entire Ryder Cup will be broadcast live on Sky Sports in the UK, NBC in the U.S., Fancode in India and Fox Sports in Australia. You can also follow ESPN’s live updates.
When are the Ryder Cup match times?
The action begins on Friday, Sept. 26, where there will be two sessions — foursomes in the morning and four-ball in the afternoon.
Foursomes sees two players from each team go out, with each team using one ball and the players taking alternate shots. Four-ball is simply each player plays their own ball and the teams take the lowest score.
On Saturday, we will see more of the same, with foursomes taking place in the morning session and the afternoon being all about the four-ball.
Sunday sees all 24 players involved, going head-to-head in 12 singles matches to decide the Ryder Cup.
