RYDER CUP chiefs have been forced into a major schedule change – by bringing the opening ceremony forward by 24 hours.
The curtain-raiser ahead of the 45th edition of the event was due to take place at 4pm.
The opening ceremony for the Ryder Cup has been changed
However, the weather forecast makes for grim reading with thunderstorms and heavy rain expected.
And so tournament organisers made the early decision on Tuesday afternoon – more than 48 hours before the original start time – to reschedule the opening ceremony for Wednesday instead.
A Ryder Cup statement said: “Due to the forecast of inclement weather on Thursday, September 25, the 2025 Ryder Cup Opening Ceremony has been moved to Wednesday, September 24.
“The Opening Ceremony pre-show will begin at 3pm, with the Opening Ceremony set for 4pm.
“Ryder Cup+ ticket holders for Thursday will now be admitted both Wednesday and Thursday.”
Part of the opening ceremony tradition sees the two captains announce their pairings for the Friday morning session.
But and Luke Donald will not do that this time around.
Instead, they will still confirm their eight players for the first foursomes at 4pm on Thursday.
Meanwhile, a supercomputer has predicted who will win the Ryder Cup.
Team USA are looking to win back the trophy following Team Europe’s victory in 2023.
It has been predicted that they will have success as with a 57.1 per cent chance of winning.
Team Europe is given a 35.3 per cent chance to retain the Ryder Cup.
While a draw is unlikely at just 7.6 per cent.
