Ryder Cup 2025: Day 2 Preview – Key Matches and Viewing Details
The excitement continues at the 2025 Ryder Cup as Day 2 approaches, scheduled to kick off on September 27 at 7 a.m. ET. With eight additional points on the line, both Team Europe and Team USA are vying for supremacy at the renowned Bethpage Black Golf Course in Farmingdale, New York.
Current Standings
After an intense Day 1 packed with action, Team Europe leads with 5½ points, while Team USA trails with 2½ points. This marks a momentous occasion, as it is the first time since 2004 that the Europeans have taken an early lead as the "away" team in this prestigious biennial tournament.
Team Europe’s impressive performance included a historic achievement: they became the first European squad to triumph in all three foursomes (alternate shot) matches on opening day. Notably, the standout players for Team USA, including Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau, ended the day with a disappointing combined record of 0-4.
Today’s Schedule: What to Expect
Today’s competitive format includes morning foursome matches followed by afternoon fourball contests. To clinch the Ryder Cup title, Europe needs to reach 14 points, whereas the United States requires 14½ points to secure victory.
