Just weeks before the 2025 Ryder Cup kicks off, excitement is building in the golf world. The tournament, to be held from September 26-28 at the historic Bethpage Black course in New York, promises to be one of the most exciting yet.

The American team, captained by Keegan Bradley, is looking to reclaim the trophy on home soil, with players prepared and under pressure to respond to the home crowd. Meanwhile, the European team, led by Luke Donald, is maintaining a largely similar lineup to that of 2023, a strategy that reflects confidence and continuity.

Europeans have incorporated unconventional methods to prepare for golf competition: using virtual reality to simulate the hostile environment expected at Bethpage Black, specific training to handle crowd pressure, and more refined mental tactics.

Justin Thomas and other U.S. players have emphasized the importance of team unity, teammate support, and mental resilience. Europe, for its part, is banking on its track record, combined with its emotional training, to help it retain its title in 2023.

The atmosphere will also be a key factor: nearly 50,000 fans are expected to roar with excitement each matchday, adding extra pressure to both teams. Bethpage Black, a public course beloved by the local community, intensifies that connection with the fans.
