Overview
- Play runs Friday to Sunday at Bethpage Black in New York, with Keegan Bradley and Luke Donald captaining the United States and Europe in morning foursomes, afternoon fourballs and Sunday singles.
- Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay said they will donate their $200,000 stipends under the PGA of America’s new $500,000 compensation plan that also directs $300,000 to charity.
- Europe returns 11 of 12 players from the 2023 win, with Rasmus Hojgaard replacing his twin Nicolai, as the defending champions lean on continuity.
- Foursomes will open both Friday and Saturday, a setup in which the U.S. has historically excelled, and captains are honing pairings and tee orders tailored to Bethpage’s hole-by-hole shot shapes.
- A charged scene is expected with President Donald Trump attending Friday, and Bryson DeChambeau’s role drew fresh media scrutiny as U.S. teammates praised his fit and competitiveness.
