When is the Ryder Cup 2023? UK tee times, schedule, pairings, Rome weather forecast, venue, format, odds today

Matt Verri1 October 2023

The 2023 Ryder Cup comes to a conclusion today as the American side look to mount a spectacular comeback in Rome.

Team Europe have not tasted defeat on home soil for 30 years and are well on track to extend that run after a dream opening two day

The likes of Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm and Viktor Hovland all stepped up on Friday, as the Europeans first swept the opening foursomes session before increasingly their advantage further in the afternoon, and that five-point advantage is one that was maintained on Saturday.

Patrick Cantlay shone as the USA finally found some form in the afternoon fourballs, but they are 10.5-5.5 behind and needed a record set of singles results to keep hold of the Ryder Cup.

There will be two sessions on both Friday and Saturday, before the Ryder Cup comes to an end after 12 singles matches on Sunday, October 1, 2023.

Full format and schedule for Ryder Cup 2023

As ever, there will be two four-match sessions of foursomes and two four-match sessions of fourball, before all 12 players are involved on Sunday for the singles.

Luke Donald, as the home captain, decides which format kicks the action off and he has opted for foursomes, where partners hit alternate shots using the same ball.

The focus will then shift to the fourball matches, where players hit their own ball and the lowest score for each team on each hole is used.

A point is on offer in each match, with half a point going to each team should a match remain all square after 18 holes.
