Overview
- Organizers advanced the opening ceremony by a day at Bethpage Black due to a heavy‑rain forecast in New York.
- Captains Keegan Bradley and Luke Donald formally presented their 12‑player squads, with Europe returning 11 of its 2023 team and Rasmus Hojgaard replacing his twin, Nicolai.
- The European contingent drew boos during its presentation, and Donald addressed the partisan crowd with a resilience message that echoed past away‑wins such as Medinah 2012.
- Competition begins Friday with morning foursomes, continues with foursomes and fourballs through Saturday, and concludes with 12 singles on Sunday for a total of 28 points.
- A 14–14 tie would keep the trophy with defending champion Europe, and broadcasts are scheduled on ESPN2 and Disney+ in the Americas and Movistar+ in Spain.
