Ryder Cup Day 1 LIVE: Friday foursomes latest scores and updates from Bethpage

Ryder Cup 2025: GolfMagic brings you latest updates from the day one foursomes and fourballs at Bethpage Black in New York.

The 2025 Ryder Cup has finally arrived and it all gets underway bright and early today at 7.10am local time, which is 12.10pm for UK fans. 

GolfMagic's Andy and Ben are on the ground at Bethpage Black this week to bring you all the latest news, interview, feature, opinion, analysis and latest score updates from the biennial dust-up between United States and Europe. 

There are five sessions in total at the Ryder Cup - two foursomes (eight points), two fourballs (eight points) and one singles (12 points).

Foursomes and fourballs sessions take place on both Friday and Saturday, with the singles on Sunday.

A total of 28 points is up for grabs.

Europe must reach 14 points order to retain the Ryder Cup as they are the defending champions, while USA need to get at least 14.5 in order to regain.

USA are marginal 8/11 favourites to win the Ryder Cup this week, with Europe available at a more generous 6/4.

The tie (14-14) is available at 12/1.

Here's a closer look at the tee times and schedule for the 2025 Ryder Cup

Donald is attempting to become the first captain since Tony Jacklin in 1989 to win consecutive Ryder Cup matches.

The Friday foursomes get underway first this morning, and it starts with an absolute belter of a tie. 

United States duo Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas face off against Europe's Jon Rahm and Tyrrell Hatton in match one.

We've then got arguably America's strongest pairing of Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley squaring off against Matt Fitzpatrick in Ludvig Aberg in match two.

Rory McIlroy and Tommy Fleetwood are back together again just as they were in 2023 and they'll start things off in the foursomes in match three against Collin Morikawa and Harris English.

Somewhat surprisingly, the pairing of Morikawa and English is the 132nd out of 132 preferred duos in Data Golf's rankings for Team USA.

In the anchor match, Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay take on Viktor Hovland and Bob MacIntyre.

Once the foursomes have finished, Donald and Bradley will unleash four fourball matches onto the course for the afternoon session.

Both captains will submit their order of 1-4 fourballs pairings at 11.40am local time. 

United States President Donald Trump is scheduled to be making an appearance later today, which has resulted in Ryder Cup officials ramping up security procedures ahead of his arrival. 

Right, buckle up, fire up the kettle or something stronger, and sit back and enjoy live updates from day one of the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage...

Rory sings praises of USA

Rory McIlroy ahead of day one:

“Everyone wanted to make it in America. It's the land of opportunity. And I still believe it's the best country in the world, and if you come here and work hard and dedicate yourself, you can be or do whatever you want. 

“I am unbelievably grateful and lucky that I got to come to America early on. I think success is celebrated here. I think there's a wonderful sense of work ethic. And yeah, I live here. My wife is American. My daughter is American. I have a lot of affinity towards this country, and I think everyone that lives here should have that same affinity because it is, it's a wonderful, it is a wonderful place.”
