Team Europe heads into the competition as the defending champions, having defeated Team USA in 2023 at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome.How to watch Ryder Cup 2025 on TVSky Sports will be the exclusive broadcaster of the 2025 Ryder Cup in the UK, with coverage beginning on the Monday of tournament week. Fans in the USA can tune into NBC, Golf Channel, and USA Network to enjoy the action. The Ryder Cup follows a matchplay format rather than traditional strokeplay. Instead of counting every shot over four rounds, players go head-to-head in individual or team matches, with each hole acting as a separate contest. If one side posts a lower score on a hole, they go “one up.” Ties on a hole leave the match unchanged, and the contest continues until one side holds an advantage greater than the number of holes left to play. If the match finishes on level terms, the point is shared.28 points are available across the three days. Friday and Saturday each feature two sessions: four foursomes matches and four fourballs matches, with captains choosing which players sit out each round. The final day brings 12 singles matches, when all 24 golfers are in action. To claim the Ryder Cup outright, a team must secure 14½ points. A 14-14 draw would see Europe retain the trophy as the current holders.
