When is the 2025 Ryder Cup?
The 2025 Ryder Cup is officially scheduled for September 26–28, 2025. This biennial competition – the 45th edition – follows the same alternating two-year cycle that has defined the event since 1927 (RyderCup.com, official site). Europe enters as the defending champion after winning the 2023 edition in Italy (Golf Monthly, golf media).
The implication: the 2025 edition keeps the biennial rhythm intact, but with Bethpage Black as the centerpiece, the stage is set for a potentially transformative event.
Where will the Ryder Cup be in 2025?
The venue is Bethpage State Park (Black Course) in Farmingdale, New York – a public course owned by the state of New York. This marks the first time a publicly accessible course has hosted the Ryder Cup on U.S. soil (Golf Monthly). The Black Course has previously hosted the U.S. Open (2002, 2009) and is known for its demanding layout and iconic “Warning” sign. For context, the 2027 edition will be held at Adare Manor in Ireland, a private resort (Golf Monthly).
Why this matters: a public course hosting the Ryder Cup signals a shift toward accessibility in a sport often associated with private clubs. The choice could broaden the event’s appeal to everyday golfers.

For the PGA of America, the 2025 Ryder Cup is a bet on accessibility – the payoff will be measured in new fans and a new legacy. For European fans, the challenge of defending on unfamiliar public-course soil adds an extra layer of drama. The choice of Bethpage Black is more than a venue; it’s a statement that the Ryder Cup belongs to everyone, not just private club members. For American golf, the implication is clear: bring the game’s biggest stage to where most people play.
