US Confirms 2025 Ryder Cup Format at Bethpage Black

The 2025 Ryder Cup is set to take place from September 26 to 28 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, featuring a 12-man U.S. team led by captain Keegan Bradley. The U.S. team includes automatic qualifiers like Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun, Russell Henley, and others, with Bradley selecting six captain's picks to complete the roster. The format for the event has been confirmed as morning foursomes followed by afternoon four-ball matches on the first two days, concluding with 12 singles matches on Sunday. This format, used for the third consecutive Ryder Cup and 13th time since 1981, has historically favored the home team, with the U.S. holding a strong 9-3-1 record when foursomes lead off the competition. European captain Luke Donald will name his six captain's picks next week to complement his automatic qualifiers, including Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood. The Ryder Cup promises a competitive showdown between the U.S. and Europe, with the Americans slight favorites playing on home soil.
