Ryder Cup 2025: Friday Afternoon Four-Ball Pairings

What an electric start to the 2025 Ryder Cup. Friday morning Foursomes are well underway, with Europe leading 3 matches to the United States' 1.

This afternoon, teams will compete in Four-Ball matches. Each member of a two-man team plays his own ball, so four balls are in play on every hole. Each team counts the lowest of its two scores on each hole, and the team whose player has the lowest score wins the hole. If the low scores are tied, the hole is halved.

The pairings for the Friday afternoon Four-Ball matches will be announced at 11:40 a.m. ET. To understand how the captains select their pairings for these formats, we put together a selection primer to help.
