2025 Ryder Cup Preview

In this Ryder Cup 2025 preview, Sean Melia and Paul Burke dive into every major storyline shaping golf’s biggest team event. From Bethpage Black’s iconic setup and rowdy New York crowds to the captaincy drama surrounding Keegan Bradley, Luke Donald, and even Tiger Woods, no topic is off-limits. They debate whether John Rahm can carry Europe, if Scottie Scheffler will dominate for the U.S., and how LIV Golf continues to reshape Ryder Cup rosters. With bold predictions for breakout stars and potential disappointments, the stage has been set for an unforgettable week.
