What is the Ryder Cup first shot time for 2025?
Expect the opening match to tee off around 7:30–8:00 a.m. EDT on Friday and Saturday.
When do players get to practice?

Will tee times change due to weather?
In the late September period, it is generally positive weather in Long Island, though there can always be a cold breeze. Mods to the schedule are in the cards, and delays are a possibility, so it is certain that changes can be made.
General advice for the people
For an official guide to the Ryder Cup, local weather updates on the event will also be available. Information that is sorely missed in the guide, such as timings for each specific player and score, can be used to gain an advantage.
On the day, dress in layers, as the weather is on the cool side; mornings can be cool. The hall is littered with portable chargers and easier payment options, which are always welcome.
The day of the event, set alerts for the first key and the last key to stay within the tempo of the game to gain the best advantage.
