Farmingdale, NY – The 2025 Ryder Cup tees off tomorrow with a sizzling Friday morning foursomes lineup, as captains Keegan Bradley (USA) and Luke Donald (Europe) unveiled their alternate-shot pairings in a tense Thursday announcement.
In a blockbuster move, Team USA captain Bradley paired Bryson DeChambeau with Justin Thomas for Friday’s Ryder Cup foursomes, uniting two emotional firebrands and two-time major champions, both in their early 30s, to lead off against Europe’s most experienced pair: Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton.
The American duo’s shared intensity and big-stage experience promise a high-octane start at Bethpage Black, aiming to ignite the home crowd and set the tone for the U.S. squad’s redemption bid.
The action kicks off at 7:10 a.m. ET, pitting powerhouse pairs in a format where each team shares one ball and alternates strokes. Here’s the full slate:
