Bethpage Black, which opened in 1936, has hosted three majors as well as two PGA Tour tournaments.
—
Bethpage Black is ready for another closeup. The famed public golf course in Farmingdale, New York, is the host venue for the 2025 Ryder Cup and the excitement is certainly rising.
The Black Course is one of five at Bethpage State Park, along with the Yellow, Red, Green and Blue but the Black is considered the beast, the most difficult of the five.
When was Bethpage named a Ryder Cup venue?
It was in 2013 when the PGA of America announced that Bethpage Blac would host not only the 2019 PGA Championship but also the 2024 Ryder Cup. The COVID pandemic of 2020 altered future playings of the Ryder Cup and thus the shift from 2024 to 2025.
