Bryson DeChambeau of Team USA, Rory McIlroy of Team Europe and other top golfers arrive for the 2025 Ryder Cup opening ceremony at Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, N.Y., on Wednesday. The three-day golf tournament between American and European players begins Friday.

Even if you have experience watching big-time golf events at Bethpage Black – this will be the fourth major caliber event played at the legendary Long Island public course, joining the 2002 and 2009 U.S. Open and the 2019 PGA Championship – be prepared to deal with a golf experience that is completely different.

Don’t sweat the small stuff, they say, but in the Ryder Cup it’s the smallest things that could make the biggest difference.

Donald and the European brain trust have created an "away template," with the hopes of winning in America for the first time since 2012.

The U.S. has taken a 10-8 lead over Europe in the Junior Ryder Cup, with Miles Russell of Jacksonville Beach going 1-1-1 in doubles.

As Team USA and Team Europe get ready to tee off at this weekend’s Ryder Cup, golf’s most prestigious showdown, their wives and girlfriends are also stepping into the spotlight.

The opening ceremony of the 45th Ryder Cup took place near the first fairway of Bethpage Black on Wednesday evening. Keegan Bradley and Luke Donald delivered their opening remarks before both the European and American flags were raised near the first tee box to open up the event.
