Ryder Cup Morning Pairings Released at Bethpage

The 45th Ryder Cup’s Friday morning foursomes pairings at Bethpage Black were released, with the opening match scheduled for 7:10 a.m. ET and four alternate‑shot matches set. Matchups include Jon Rahm/Tyrrell Hatton vs. Bryson DeChambeau/Justin Thomas; Ludvig Åberg/Matt Fitzpatrick vs. Scottie Scheffler/Russell Henley; Rory McIlroy/Tommy Fleetwood vs. Collin Morikawa/Harris English; and Robert MacIntyre/Viktor Hovland vs. Xander Schauffele/Patrick Cantlay. European captain Luke Donald kept the unbeaten Rahm–Hatton foursomes pairing and reshuffled others (splitting Åberg and Hovland), while U.S. captain Keegan Bradley opted for risk‑reward starts including DeChambeau/Thomas and Scheffler/Henley. DeChambeau’s return from LIV Golf has become an X‑factor storyline, and a scheduled visit by former President Donald Trump is expected to heighten crowd intensity.
