The 2025 Ryder Cup, one of golf’s premier match-play spectacles, will unfold from September 26–28, 2025, at the notoriously brutal Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York. With Team Europe defending their 2023 title and Team USA fighting to reclaim glory on home turf, we’re set for one of the most electrifying setups in Ryder Cup history. Captains Keegan Bradley (USA) and Luke Donald (Europe) assemble their rosters and strategies around world-class stars, rising rookies, and course-defining challenges.

Starting out in golf is exciting — the fresh fairways, the challenge of the swing, and the chance to spend time outdoors with friends. But before you can enjoy the game, you’ll need the right equipment. Choosing golf clubs can feel overwhelming for beginners, with so many options, brands, and price points on the market. The good news? You don’t need a full tour-level bag on day one. With a little knowledge, you can build a starter set that helps you improve without draining your wallet.
