Long Island, New York – The 2025 Ryder Cup, a prestigious golf tournament showcasing the historic rivalry between the United States and Europe, is set to take place at Bethpage Black, marking a significant chapter in golf history. As one of the sport’s most anticipated events, this biennial team competition continues to draw keen interest from fans and players alike.
The Ryder Cup was first introduced in 1927 as a two-day team match between the U.S. and Great Britain. In 1979, the competition expanded to include continental Europe, setting the stage for the thrilling contests that have become a hallmark of the tournament. Currently, the U.S. leads the Ryder Cup series with a record of 27 wins, 15 losses, and 2 ties. However, Europe has proven formidable in recent years, winning 10 of the last 14 competitions since 1995. This dynamic could set the scene for a dramatic showdown as the U.S. team, captained by Keegan Bradley, aims to take advantage of their home-field support.
Bethpage State Park, located in Long Island, New York, boasts five golf courses, with the Black Course recognized as the toughest. It has hosted several prestigious tournaments, including the U.S. Open in 2002 and 2009, and the PGA Championship in 2019, solidifying its reputation as a premier golfing destination. Designed by golf course architect A.W. Tillinghast, the Black Course is renowned for its challenging layout, featuring dramatic bunkers and steep elevation changes across its 1,475-acre expanse as part of the New York State Park System.
The golf courses at Bethpage have historically catered not just to elite players but also to the public, embodying the ethos of “a country club for the people.” Weekend green fees for the Black Course are set at $80 for state residents and $160 for non-residents. The course’s popularity is evident as competitive queues form early in the morning, reflecting high demand among golfers eager to secure tee times.
Ticket sales for the upcoming Ryder Cup events were met with overwhelming enthusiasm, selling out in 48 hours after their announcement. Prices for admission start at $750 for one-day gate passes, while practice round admission costs $424. These figures represent significant increases compared to previous Ryder Cup events, highlighting the growing excitement around this iconic competition.
The tournament format consists of four matches over three days, alternating between foursomes, four-ball, and singles matches. Such a format encourages strategic partnerships and player pairings, allowing teams to maximize each golfer’s strengths. The contest is especially significant this year as the U.S. seeks to reclaim the title, following Europe’s victory in the 2023 competition held in Rome.
With both teams preparing intensively for the competition, the stakes are high, and the rivalry is palpable. Europe is particularly motivated, aiming to become the first team to clinch the Ryder Cup on U.S. soil since 2012. Golf fans around the world are eagerly awaiting this thrilling showdown, which promises to be a testament to the enduring excitement of match play and international sportsmanship.
