New York – The U.S. Ryder Cup team is preparing for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black with the announcement of a new competition format. The U.S. will start the prestigious event with foursomes (alternate shot) for the first two mornings and shift to four-ball (best ball) for the afternoon sessions, culminating in 12 singles matches on Sunday. This marks the third consecutive Ryder Cup that U.S. Captain Keegan Bradley has selected this format.
The chosen structure has a history of success for Team USA, having been implemented 13 times since 1981. The U.S. has used the foursomes format 8 times, while Europe has opted for it 5 times. Team USA has notably excelled in this setup, boasting a 12-4 record over the last five Ryder Cups.
In their recent appearance at the Ryder Cup in 2021, held at Whistling Straits, the U.S. team achieved a commendable 6-2 record in the foursomes sessions. Conversely, Europe demonstrated remarkable prowess in their latest outing at the Marco Simone in 2023, finishing with a dominant 7-1 record in the same format. Historically, when the Ryder Cup begins with foursomes, Team USA has a strong track record, holding a 9-3-1 record.
As of now, the full 12-man rosters for both teams have not been finalized. The captain selections for the Ryder Cup are expected to be announced later this week, while the automatic qualifiers for both sides have already been confirmed. Current betting odds reflect the competitive nature of the event, with the United States being slightly favored at -130 against Europe at +145, according to FanDuel Sportsbook.
In addition to the competitive spirit of the Ryder Cup, a new morning show, T-Mobile Breakfast at Bethpage, will launch from September 26-28 at the first tee of Bethpage Black. This innovative program will blend elements of comedy, celebrity appearances, and golf culture to create a fan-first experience. The breakfast show will be hosted by comedian Colin Jost from Saturday Night Live and will feature a rotating cast of celebrity co-hosts and golf personalities.
The goal of the T-Mobile Breakfast is to engage audiences with real-time crowd reactions, bolstered by T-Mobile’s 5G network. Daily highlights and clips will be shared across Ryder Cup platforms to keep fans updated and engaged. This event aims to enhance the overall atmosphere at Bethpage leading into the Ryder Cup.
There is also notable political attention surrounding the 2025 Ryder Cup, with President Donald Trump announcing his attendance on September 26 at the invitation of the PGA Tour. Trump has expressed his support for Captain Keegan Bradley’s inclusion in the U.S. squad and has previously attended events such as the 2017 Presidents Cup.
As the countdown to the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black continues, excitement is building within both teams and their supporters. With a dynamic format and engaging pre-game entertainment planned, this year’s Ryder Cup promises to be an unforgettable experience for players and fans alike.
