Ryder Cup 2025: Why It’s More Than Just Golf
Every two years, golf fans get something special—the Ryder Cup. It’s not just another tournament. It’s golf’s ultimate team battle, where passion, pride, and pressure collide on some of the game’s most iconic fairways.
The Ryder Cup is about more than birdies and bogeys—it’s about teamwork, rivalry, and unforgettable moments.
And as we gear up for the 2025 edition at Bethpage Black in New York, there’s no better time to talk about why the Ryder Cup matters… and how you can bring that same energy to your own group golf trip.
What Makes the Ryder Cup Different
Most tournaments are individual competitions. The Ryder Cup flips the script.
- Team Format: USA vs. Europe in foursomes, fourballs, and singles matches.
- Unmatched Atmosphere: Think soccer-level chanting, painted faces, and electric crowds—rare in golf.
- High Stakes: It’s not about prize money—it’s about pride. Winning the Ryder Cup means you’re part of history.
No other golf event stirs emotion like this one.

If you’ve ever been part of a guys’ trip, a team offsite, or even a bachelor weekend—you know the Ryder Cup energy. It’s about:
- Cheering each other on
- Talking trash (with a smile)
- Rising to the moment when it’s your turn
- Celebrating the wins together
That’s exactly what Back Nine Retreats is built to replicate.
From Bethpage Black to Your Group Golf Trip
We can’t all tee it up at Bethpage—but you can feel the Ryder Cup spirit on your next trip.
At Back Nine Retreats, we’ve designed homes that deliver that same sense of camaraderie, competition, and celebration:
- Simulators for late-night matches
- Duckpin bowling for bragging rights

- Split payments so no one’s chasing money like a bad tee shot
It’s a Ryder Cup vibe, built right into the house.
Why Golf Is Better With a Team
The Ryder Cup reminds us: golf isn’t always about playing solo. It’s about bonding, pushing each other, and making memories you’ll still laugh about 10 years later.
That’s why your group golf trip should feel bigger than just tee times. It should be an experience.
