UPDATE: The 2025 Ryder Cup heats up today as Team Europe leads with 5.5 points against Team USA’s 2.5 points after an intense Day 1. Fans can catch all the action live starting at 7 a.m. ET on NBC and streaming on Peacock.
This marks a historic moment, as it is the first time since 2004 that the Europeans have taken the lead after Day 1 while playing away. Team Europe made headlines yesterday, becoming the first European squad in Ryder Cup history to sweep the opening foursomes matches.
In a shocking turn, Team USA’s top players, including World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau, finished Day 1 with a combined record of 0-4. Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay finally secured the first point for the American side in the fourth match of Round 1.
Team Europe is on track to defend its title, with a strong lineup featuring 11 of the 12 players who triumphed in 2023. However, history shows that defending champions at the Ryder Cup have struggled, with the last successful title defense occurring from 2010 to 2014.
Today’s matches will follow the same format as yesterday, with morning foursomes followed by fourball in the afternoon. To clinch victory, Europe needs to reach 14 points, while the USA must gather 14.5 points to secure the win.
For those wanting to stream the action, DIRECTV offers a five-day free trial and starts at $49.99/month, while Peacock provides a weeklong free trial before charging $16.99/month.
