Ryder Cup 2025: Day two UK tee times, schedule, format and how to watch on TV

The Ryder Cup 2025 continues on Saturday with Team Europe looking to add to the lead they build on the first day of action at Bethpage Black.

The scoreboard sat at 5½-2½ in Europe’s favour overnight following a dominant performance from Luke Donald’s men, who followed up their 3-1 win in the morning’s foursomes with a 2½-1½ triumph in the afternoon’s fourballs session.

Europe’s fast start in New York has raised the serious possibility of a first away win in the competition since 2012, when the Europeans emerged victorious at the Medinah Country Club in Illinois.

Ahead of the first tee shot on day two, here is everything you need to know, including the UK tee times, schedule, format, and how to watch on TV and live stream.

What is the format for the Ryder Cup?

Each of the first two days of the Ryder Cup will feature a four-match session on foursomes and a four-match session of fourballs.

The US have elected to start with foursomes, which sees two golfers from each team pair up and play alternate shots using the same ball. The best score on each hole wins, with a tie if the scores are equal.

In the afternoon sessions, the teams then compete in four fourball matches, with two golfers from each team pairing up but, this time, using their own ball. The lowest score from either player is used for the team’s overall score for that hole, with the best score winning the hole.

Players can play in all four sessions across the first two days, but with only eight slots available for each session some of the 12-man team are rested each time. Each player has to play in at least one session across the first two days.

The third and final day consists of singles matches where one player from Team Europe competes against another player from Team USA. This is standard matchplay, with the best score on each hole winning. All twelve members from each team have to compete in these matches.

There are 28 points at stake in total, with a point being awarded for winning a match, or half a point given to each team if there is a tie after 18 holes. In a similar fashion to the Ashes, if the overall score is tied at 14-14 come the end of Sunday, the holders (Team Europe) will retain the trophy.
