Ryder Cup Weather Forecast: Bethpage Black Soaked On Wet Thursday
It's looking like the 2025 Ryder Cup is going to be a wet one. Here's the latest official weather update for Bethpage Black
The Ryder Cup has been hit by some pretty terrible weather over the years. Celtic Manor, South Wales, 2010. Remember that one? It was an absolute mud bath.
Let's hope Bethpage Black can cope well with a few downpours, because sadly the forecast isn't looking that great for the three days of competition in New York.
We've just received the latest official weather update from the organziers. Heading to Bethpage? Well, it's not too late to buy yourself a decent rain poncho.
Here's the weather forecast for Thursday, the last Ryder Cup practice day, plus a look at how things are looking for the rest of the week.

UMBRELLA WARNING!
Donald Trump is scheduled to be at the Ryder Cup on Friday
US President Donald Trump is planning to be at Bethpage on Friday - which is sure to create chaos.
Those attending the Ryder Cup have been warned to expect enhanced security measures and additional restrictions.
Spectators have been advised to arrive as early as possible (gates open at 5am for ticket holders) and allow extra time as they move about throughout the day.
