The 45th Ryder Cup took place from September 26–28, 2025, at Bethpage State Park's Black Course in New York, where Europe defeated the United States 15–13, becoming the first away team to win the biennial competition since 2012. The event was marred by criticism of the American crowds, with Sky News calling it "the most abusive Ryder Cup in almost a century" and Rory McIlroy stating that golf should be held to a higher standard. In a historic first, sitting U.S. President Donald Trump attended as a spectator. The match was captained by Keegan Bradley—the youngest U.S. captain since 1963—and Luke Donald, who became the first European to repeat as captain since 1993. The iconic public course, opened in 1936 and designed by A. W. Tillinghast, previously hosted the 2002 U.S. Open won by Tiger Woods, and the competition followed a 28-point format featuring foursomes, fourballs, and singles.
