Where the 2025 Ryder Cup Will Be Played
The site of the 2025 Ryder Cup is Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, on Long Island. The Black Course at Bethpage State Park has not previously hosted a Ryder Cup. It has, though, been the site of major championships.The 2002 U.S. Open was played at Bethpage Black, and won by Tiger Woods. The 2009 U.S. Open also took place there, that one won by Lucas Glover. And Brooks Koepka won the 2019 PGA Championship there. The PGA Tour has also played FedEx Cup playoff tournaments at Bethpage Black.
Captains and Team Selection
The 2025 captain for Team Europe is Luke Donald, who returns to the role after guiding his side to victory in the 2023 Ryder Cup. Donald is the first repeat captain for Europe since Bernard Gallacher served three consecutive terms in the 1990s. He also has the chance, should Europe win again in 2025, to join Tony Jacklin as the only European captains to guide their squads to both home and away victories.The Team USA captain is Keegan Bradley. Bradley, at age 39, will be the youngest American captain since 34-year-old Arnold Palmer in 1963. He won the 2011 PGA Championship and has six PGA Tour wins total. Bradley played on Team USA in the Ryder Cups of 2012 and 2014.
Recent Ryder Cups have seen changes almost with each competition to the way each side selects its 12 golfers. And the exact methods by which golfers earn points toward Ryder Cup selection can be many and varied. But these are the basics of how the teams will be chosen for the 2025 match:
- Team USA takes the first six golfers from a points list, plus six captain's picks.
- Team Europe also takes the first six golfers from its points list, plus six captain's picks.
The two team point lists are calculated through different methods, over different time periods and covering different tours and tournaments. You can check them out at these links: U.S. team point rankings and Europe team point rankings.
