Woodcliff Lake, NJ – September 26, 2025… BMW returns as Worldwide Partner for the ultimate faceoff in golf this week during the 45^th Ryder Cup at the Black Course of Bethpage State Park in Farmingdale, NY. Contested September 26-28, the legendary biennial team competition pits twelve of America's top players against twelve of the best pros from Europe in a high stakes match play battle. Revered for its display of drama, camaraderie, and sportsmanship, the Ryder Cup delivers an electrifying fan experience that is unparalleled across the golf world. The excitement behind the ropes is just as strong as the energy on the course, making this year’s event the perfect platform to support one of the brand’s most important launches in history—the all-new BMW iX3, fresh off its World Premiere at the IAA Mobility in Munich earlier this month.

Wednesday’s opening ceremony set the stage for a thrilling Ryder Cup weekend, known for its passion and intensity. Across three days, 28 matches will be played—four Foursome and four Fourballs on Friday and Saturday, followed by twelve Singles on Sunday. Europe, led by Luke Donald, needs 14 points to retain the trophy. Keegan Bradley’s U.S. team needs 14.5 and will look to home course advantage to help break Europe’s hold.

For nearly twenty years, BMW’s partnership with the Ryder Cup has demonstrated its longstanding connection to golf at the highest level—a relationship defined by a shared commitment to precision, performance, and excellence. A fleet of more than 200 BMWs will provide premium shuttle service for players, guests, and event officials throughout the week. Fans of golf and the Ultimate Driving Machine will also get a firsthand look at BMW innovation and design through interactive brand displays across Bethpage Black including dueling BMW 7 Series models custom designed by American captain Keegan Bradley and European captain Luke Donald.

Additionally, on the heels of its North American debut in New York City earlier this week, the all-new, BMW iX3 will be highlighted on the 14^th tee. The first model of BMW’s groundbreaking next-generation Neue Klasse previews the future of BMW design, technology, and driving dynamics and ushers in an entirely new era for the Ultimate Driving Machine. The BMW iX3 will arrive in U.S. showrooms toward the middle of next year. In the two years following, BMW will launch 40 new or refreshed models featuring the attributes of the Neue Klasse.

BMW’s journey with the Ryder Cup began in 2006 when it was named Official Car Partner at the K Club in Ireland. The company has maintained a strong presence at each Ryder Cup ever since, both in Europe and the United States. With the American team defending their home turf against a formidable European lineup this year, all eyes will be on Bethpage Black and BMW will be there every step of the way. In between the action on the fairways and greens, guests will be encouraged to showcase their own skills by joining BMW for a unique driving range challenge near the main entrance. Winners will walk away with BMW ball markers, same-day hospitality upgrades, and even the Ultimate Stay & Play golf getaway to Sea Island Resort in Georgia if they’re able to hit the 150-yard target.

BMW Owners can catch all the Ryder Cup action live from their vehicles courtesy of NBC. This viewing experience is offered in models running BMW Operating System 8.5 in combination with Connected Drive Professional* (excluding the BMW 2 Series Coupé, BMW 3 Series, and BMW 4 Series) and in vehicles with BMW Operating System 9 paired with BMW Digital Premium. The Ryder Cup will also come to life off the course at the iconic Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, with an official Fan Zone area presented by BMW offering a VIP viewing and lounge area. 

Over the past 50 years, BMW has demonstrated a lasting commitment to the game of golf. In addition to the BMW’s support of the Ryder Cup, the company has been the title partner of The BMW Championship for nearly two decades. Since 2007, The BMW Championship has helped raise over $60 million on behalf of the Evans Scholars Foundation, and has provided the opportunity for

more than 4,000 young caddies to attend college. Together, these efforts leave a lasting impact on both the sport of golf and BMW enthusiasts alike.
