Bethpage, New York – The 2025 Ryder Cup is set to unfold from September 26-28 at Bethpage Black, bringing together Team USA and Team Europe for a showcase of top-tier golf. U.S. captain Keegan Bradley will lead his squad against a European team headed by Luke Donald, with both sides vying for the prestigious trophy.
In a notable shift from previous tournaments, each player on Team USA will receive a stipend of $500,000 for their participation. This financial arrangement is a significant increase compared to earlier Ryder Cups and includes a unique structure where $300,000 is earmarked for a charitable contribution of each player’s choice, while the remaining $200,000 is available for the player’s personal use. In contrast, Team Europe will not receive any compensation for competing.
As anticipation builds for this storied event, discussions surrounding the players’ payments have emerged, particularly regarding how it may influence crowd perception and the players’ performance under pressure. Observers wonder if the difference in compensation will affect team chemistry, especially if Team USA does not achieve the expected results.
Team USA’s roster features prominent golfers such as Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, and Xander Schauffele, all eager to reclaim a home victory following recent losses. The atmosphere at Bethpage is expected to be charged with energy from a supportive New York crowd, potentially creating a formidable environment for Team USA.
On the other side, Team Europe’s lineup includes stars like Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, and Tommy Fleetwood. Donald has reiterated that his players take pride in competing for their country rather than for financial rewards. This emphasis on national pride has historically defined the Ryder Cup and adds another layer to the competition.
Coverage of the Ryder Cup will be extensive, with the BBC providing daily live text commentary and in-play clips starting at 11:30 BST. Additionally, radio commentary will be broadcast on BBC Radio 5 Live and BBC Sounds from 12:00, and daily highlights will be accessible on BBC iPlayer at 00:00 after the matches conclude. For viewers in the United States, NBC and USA channels will broadcast the event, with specific schedules for each day published in advance. Streaming options will also be available through Peacock, the NBC Sports App, and the Ryder Cup website.
