The 2025 Ryder Cup is almost upon us as Team Europe take on the United States at Bethpage Black in New York.
Europe are the reigning champions having won the trophy in Rome two years ago, and need 14 points to retain the title, with the hosts needing 14.5 points won to regain the trophy.
It will be a star-studded field in New York, with the likes of Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, and Justin Rose representing the Europeans, and Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, and Bryson DeChambeau in the American team.
Keegan Bradley leads the US, becoming the youngest Ryder Cup captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963. Luke Donald captains Europe again after leading their 2023 triumph.
He is the first European to retain his captaincy since Bernard Gallacher back in 1993.
When is the Ryder Cup 2025?
The action gets underway on Friday, September 26, and runs until Sunday, September 28.
Bethpage State Park plays host, with the Long Island course having hosted the PGA Championship in 2019.
It was selected as the host club for the Ryder Cup 12 years ago.
It is the second time that New York will host the event, with the most recent coming at the Oak Hill Country Club in 1995. Europe won 14.5 to 13.5 then and will be hoping for a similar result this time around.

Keegan Bradley, as the home captain, decides which format kicks the action off.
The focus will then shift to the fourball matches, where players hit their own ball and the lowest score for each team on each hole is used.
