- Friday & Saturday: four morning foursomes matches followed by four afternoon fourballs.
- Sunday: 12 singles matches, all played head-to-head.
Tee Times (UK Time)
Bethpage operates on Eastern Time, so the first matches will start in the early afternoon in New York, which means later slots for UK viewers.

- Saturday 27th September – Morning foursomes again at 12:10pm BST, with afternoon fourballs at 5:25pm BST.
- Sunday 28th September – Singles matches start from 5:02pm BST, with the rest following in short intervals until all 12 players are out on the course.
That means UK golf fans can enjoy daytime sessions on Friday and Saturday, before settling in for the singles matches on Sunday evening where the Ryder Cup will be decided.
