Can you watch the Ryder Cup on the free-to-air channel? Yes, although there's no live coverage from Bethpage Black, New York

Not everyone will be sat down watching live coverage of the Ryder Cup on Sky Sports - some people have jobs on the weekend.

Fear not, because the good old BBC has you covered with extensive highlights of all three days of the 2025 Ryder Cup.

Of course, the best thing about this is that you don't need a subscription - it's free.

The 90-minute shows, which will be hosted by Sarah Mulkerrins, will include plenty of Ken Brown's Ken on the Course features.

The downside, however, is that you'll need to stay up until midnight - which is no easy thing if you've been working (or playing golf) all day.

Golf fans will also be able to follow all five sessions through digital clips on the BBC Sport website and across its social media channels.

Joining Brown as part of the BBC's commentary team are Andrew Cotter and Ned Michaels.
