ライダーカップ2025：ジャスティン・トーマスが「史上最大のゴルフイベント」と語る – ベスページ・ブラック プレビュー
Get ready to witness the most electrifying showdown in golf history. The 2025 RDER Cup at Beth Page Black is shaping up to be a spectacle like no other. Imagine the loudest, most spirited event in the sport staged at a legendary New York public course, famous for its proud, boisterous fans. Packed with 50,000 flagwaving spectators, Beth Paige Black will transform into a cauldron of excitement and fervor, propelling this Ryder Cup to unprecedented heights of anticipation. Justin Thomas, the American team’s seasoned veteran, despite only making his fourth appearance, puts it best. It’s going to be without question the biggest golf event ever. That’s a bold claim and one that’s hard to argue against given the extraordinary buzz building around the tournament. And that’s not all. Here comes the twist. Former President Donald Trump, never want to miss a prime US versus them sporting clash, plans to attend the dramatic opening round on September 26th when the US will fight to bring the RDER Cup home. The RDER Cup’s passion and intensity are unlike anything else on golf’s calendar. What makes it so special? It all started nearly a century ago with a simple 17in golden trophy donated by Samuel Ryder, an English seed merchant for a friendly contest between the top players from both sides of the Atlantic in 1927. Yet, after almost 100 years, it’s safe to say the tournament is anything but friendly these days. Rivalries run deep, emotions often boil over, and tempers can flare. US Captain Keegan Bradley describes how profoundly the experience shapes competitors. Being part of the RDER Cup really changes you forever. The emotional stakes are so high that Bradley still hasn’t unpacked a suitcase from his very first Ryder Cup in 2012. It sits unopened in his garage in Florida. He won’t open it until, as he puts it, he helps his country win again. His commitment goes even deeper. Bradley nearly became the first playing captain since 1963, but ultimately decided to remain focused on leading. Europe’s captain Luke Donald is chasing history, hoping to join the legendary Tony Jacqueline as only the second European to captain back-to-back victories. A feat he knows won’t come easily on American soil. Donald brings back nearly his entire winning squad, swapping only Raasmus Hoygard for his identical twin, Nikolai. Even with so much continuity, this is totally different. Donald admits, “We know how tough this is going to be. Here’s where things get controversial. Team USA, scarred by a lackluster prep two years ago, made sure this time to hone their teamwork, practicing together at the Procore Championship in California and bonding at a Vineyard mansion getaway. Justin Rose, outspoken English star, couldn’t resist a jab. America’s tried a bit too hard to become a team. With Europe, it just feels more natural. Teamwork comes from deeper roots. Across the Atlantic, the European players gathered at the BMW PGA Championship, sharing a night together and even receiving virtual reality headsets, tech that immerses them in the rockus, sometimes hostile atmosphere they’ll face at Beth Page Black. Rose sums up the challenge. Everyone’s been talking about the RDER Cup at Beth Page for a decade. How wild it’ll get. New Yorkers are passionate, almost like caricatures, and they love living up to that. So, honestly, I expect total chaos. Why is winning overseas so tough? The Europeans haven’t lost at home in more than a decade, and the Americans dominated Europe 199 at Whistling Straits four years ago. After that route, Jordan Speeded that a repeat performance would yield the same result at Beth Page. But in 2023, Europe stunned the US yet again on home turf, sparking Rory Moy to claim winning away is the ultimate goal in this sport. And we’re determined to do just that in New York. The battle will be relentless. Three days packed with forsomes and four balls, four each on Friday and Saturday, leading into 12 singles matches on Sunday. Europe needs just 14 points to retain its grip on the cup. Who will rise to the occasion? Scotty Sheffller, fresh off his sixth PGA Tour win, knows the Ryder Cup’s emotional toll all too well. He once broke down in tears after suffering the events most lopsided defeat. Memories are still fresh of the fiery confrontations in Rome where Patrick Kentlay’s late birdies silenced 20,000 Italian fans waving hats only for tempers to flare between Maroy and the American caddy Joe Lava. Sparks flew, harsh words exchanged, and it’s evidence that the RDER Cup’s goodnatured origins have evolved into something much more combustible, especially with the intense crowd expected of Beth Page Black. But here’s the part most people miss. Beth Page Black isn’t just famous for pro tournaments. It’s a true people’s course owned by New Yorkers themselves. Hardcore golf fans regularly sleep in their cars for a shot at playing at storied fairways. Local players get a steep discount, adding to the fiercely proud atmosphere. As Justin Leonard once quipped, “It’s like you’re being watched by 50,000 owners who want to see how you handle their course.” For the RDER Cup, though, it’s not a battle among 156 golfers for the lowest score. It’s a high stakes team clash. Team USA or team Europe. And here’s a point that might divide fans everywhere. Are Long Island fans the most loyal and passionate in sports? Or do their sky-high expectations create too much pressure? Justin Thomas certainly appreciates their intensity. Long Island fans are the best. They push us and we want to give them everything we’ve got. So, will fierce home advantage lead the Americans to victory? Or can Europe pull off a historic win on hostile ground? Does the RDER Cup still embody sportsmanship? or has ferocity overtaken the friendly spirit that once defined it? Share your predictions and your hottest takes in the comments. Who will conquer Beth Paige Black this time?
