The Ryder Cup has been hit by some pretty awful weather over the years. Celtic Manor, 2010, anyone remember that one? Absolute mud bath.
We’ve seen the official weather forecast for Bethpage and Farmingdale, New York, and although we’re not expecting to see conditions get quite that bad, we are in for some rain.
It’s a shame, because the weather in this part of the world over the last few days has been rather nice.
On the plus side, a soft course, even one as long as Bethpage Black, should encourage plenty of attacking play – which is just want we want to see at a Ryder Cup.
Here’s the weather forecast for the 2025 Ryder Cup, Wednesday through until the close of play (hopefully) on Sunday.
RYDER CUP WEATHER FORECAST: WEDNESDAY
The opening ceremony is taking place a day earlier, on Wednesday afternoon, because of the bad weather predicted on Thursday (see below).
The weather is due to be mostly cloudy with pop-up showers and isolated thunderstorms a possibility in the afternoon.
Unfortunately, widespread rain and a few thunderstorms are expected after midnight into Thursday morning.

RYDER CUP WEATHER FORECAST: REST OF THE WEEK
If you are attending the Ryder Cup, bring an umbrella (a small retractable one, see below) – for it could get rather wet, with the probability of rain on the final day of Ryder Cup practice as high as 80%.
Together with some wind, it’s not looking very pleasant. Here’s how things are looking at the moment for Thursday and the rest of the week.
