Hold onto your golf clubs because the PGA of America is about to make a big announcement that has fans buzzing! This Tuesday at noon ET in New York, all eyes will be on the PGA as they reveal who will captain the U.S. Ryder Cup team in 2025.
This announcement has been long-awaited, with the PGA running months behind their usual schedule. It’s no secret that the PGA’s top pick was Tiger Woods. However, despite their best efforts, Woods has been non-committal, citing his packed schedule and numerous commitments, including his role on the PGA Tour policy board. “I’ve just got too much on my plate,” Woods has said repeatedly, crushing the hopes of his legion of fans.
As a result, the PGA had to pivot and consider other candidates. Current NBC Sports broadcaster and former caddie John Wood has already been brought on as a team manager, focusing on player selection, recruitment, and coordination. Meanwhile, Matt Kuchar, Webb Simpson, and Stewart Cink are all thought to be strong contenders for the captaincy.
On the other side of the pond, Luke Donald has been confirmed as the European captain, following a successful stint last fall in Rome. The upcoming Ryder Cup will be extra special as it’s set to take place at Bethpage Black for the first time from September 26-28, 2025. It’s not just another Ryder Cup; it’s bound to be a historic event at this iconic venue.
PGA of America president John Lindert is the man who will break the news, and it’s happening live from the NASDAQ building. Trust us, you won’t want to miss this, as it will be aired live on the Golf Channel.
With the excitement building, the anticipation for Tuesday’s announcement is palpable. Who will lead the U.S. Ryder Cup team into 2025? We’re about to find out!
