Ryder Cup 2025 Europe USA Opening Foursomes Pairings Announced

The 2025 Ryder Cup opening foursomes pairings have been announced by Team Europe captain Luke Donald and Team USA captain Keegan Bradley, with Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton leading Europe against Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas in a highly anticipated first match. Rahm and Hatton, who were undefeated as partners in the previous Ryder Cup, will tee off at 7:10 a.m. ET, followed by Ludvig Aberg and Matt Fitzpatrick facing Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley. Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood, another successful European pairing, will take on Collin Morikawa and Harris English, while Robert MacIntyre and Viktor Hovland complete the foursomes against Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay. Europe’s captain made notable lineup changes, including breaking up the Aberg-Hovland pairing, aiming for a strong start against a challenging U.S. team amid the Ryder Cup's intense atmosphere and the presence of President Trump. The strategic decisions highlight an effort to capitalize on proven partnerships and adapt to the competitive environment at Bethpage Black.
