Ryder Cup preview week finally, mercifully has ended and everyone is ready for the real thing to start on Friday evening (AEST). But while we eagerly await watching the golfers hit shots that actually matter, it was a fan at Bethpage Black who provided Thursday’s top highlight.
Despite the fact that not a single shot has been hit yet, much has been made about what the American crowd might do or could say at this weekend’s Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
In the build-up to the 2025 Ryder Cup, no one has had a bigger target on their back than Bryson DeChambeau. Part of that is DeChambeau’s own doing—he’s done his fair share of trash talking too—but as we wrote yesterday, the chatter directed at the two-time US Open winner has gotten personal.
Bryson DeChambeau has been in the news this week. Stop us if you’ve heard that one before. The US Ryder Cup star has come under fire from Rory McIlroy and Brandel Chamblee specifically, the latter unleashing a scathing monologue in New York in which he likened DeChambeau to a “circus barker.”
One of the most beloved parts of the Ryder Cup is the chippiness. While pros play their cards close to the chest most of the year, the Ryder Cup offers a biennial opportunity to go all-in.
The path to victory at the Ryder Cup requires a different mindset than other golf tournaments. If you want to win (or predict the winner!), you can’t view these players as individuals. If you did, every list imaginable would put Scottie Scheffler at No.1.
With vital points and half-points at stake, the deciding hole should be one that rewards heroic action and makes the players execute brave shots in pressure-packed situations.
The PGA of America is hoping to break all sorts of attendance and viewership records with the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, but one shattered early was the ticket price.
