Overview

  • The 45th Ryder Cup is scheduled for September 26–28 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York.
  • Scottie Scheffler said it felt “really weird” for past U.S. teams to have long breaks, as he won the Procore Championship with most American teammates playing to stay sharp at captain Keegan Bradley’s urging.
  • All 12 European players traveled together for an early ‘reccy’ at Bethpage, with advisor Paul McGinley detailing on‑course scouting and off‑course logistics to streamline match week.
  • Alex Noren, added as a vice-captain, says Luke Donald tasked him to be an “extra set of eyes” for selected players and to assist wherever needed.
  • Players and pundits expect a charged atmosphere in New York, with Europe discussing VR tools for mental prep and insiders predicting an event unlike typical golf crowds.
