Overview

  • Organizers advanced the opening ceremony by a day because of a forecast for heavy rain, with competition set to start Friday at Bethpage Black.
  • Boos greeted the European team at the presentation and practice spectators heckled Jon Rahm, as captain Luke Donald detailed pre‑event psychological prep for noise and taunts.
  • Europe returns 11 of its 12 players from 2023, with Rasmus Hojgaard in for his twin Nicolai, and Rahm enters his fourth Ryder Cup under captain Luke Donald against Keegan Bradley’s United States.
  • The event follows the standard match‑play format of foursomes and four‑ball on Friday and Saturday and 12 singles on Sunday, with coverage listed on ESPN/Disney+ and Movistar+.
  • Media accounts cite inconsistent all‑time series tallies between the teams, reflecting divergent historical framing ahead of this year’s matches.
