We’re officially less than a year to go from one of the most exciting events in golf, slated to be hosted right outside New York City at famed Bethpage Black on Long Island.
The anticipation and excitement around the 2025 Ryder Cup has been growing for years, and golf fans are amped to see Bethpage Black host the 12 best Americans and 12 best Europeans in three days of head-to-head matches on Sept. 26-28, 2025.
To kick off the countdown in a bit more formal fashion, U.S. Captain Keegan Bradley – the St. John’s University graduate who the local crowd will undoubtedly be pulling for – and Team Europe Captain Luke Donald – looking to go two-for-two in Ryder Cup victories at Bethpage Black – took a whirlwind tour through New York City on Oct. 9 that included media interviews and photo opportunities (pictured).
Golf Channel and the PGA of America than celebrated one year until the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black with “A New York Night With the Captains.” NBC Sports’ Dan Hicks hosted the conversation with Captains Bradley and Donald in New York City.
