Bethpage Black 2025: The Course and Session Scores Behind Europe’s Victory

Europe won 15–13 on Bethpage’s 7,352-yard, par-70 setup after building an 11½–4½ lead across the four partner sessions.

Europe won the 2025 Ryder Cup 15–13 at Bethpage Black, earning its first away victory since Medinah in 2012. The visitors built an 11½–4½ lead through the partner sessions before the United States' Sunday comeback.

Bethpage's tournament setup

The 2025 setup measured 7,352 yards with a par of 70. The GCSAA tournament fact sheet records those dimensions and notes that some fairways had been widened. Golf Monthly's event guide lists the same length and par.

Bethpage had previously hosted the 2002 and 2009 U.S. Opens and the 2019 PGA Championship. The Ryder Cup was its first, and the first staged on a municipal golf course in the United States.
