Justin Thomas opened up about the 2025 Ryder Cup golf course. The American golfer played for the U.S. team at the biennial tournament, which was held in September. However, playing on the home course, the U.S. team had a tough time on the greens, and they struggled to secure a win.
This week, Thomas appeared on an episode of the "No Laying Up" podcast, where he candidly reflected on the Ryder Cup. He said that the greens were not as they were on the instructions given by their team captain, Keegan Bradley.
"I don't know why they [the greens] weren't at all what Keegan had asked for. I mean, he had been pretty clear of asking for a certain speed and wanting it fast enough. I watched them argue with us that they were 13s [on the Stimpmeter],” Thomas said (via Golf Digest). "It’s like, 'guys, we play golf every week, like, look on TV at how many guys are leaving putts short. Nobody is getting ... You can't have a putt, roll, three feet, four feet past the hole. Like these greens are slow, speed them up.”

“It was just bizarre because that's not something you would expect at a home Ryder Cup. A fun advantage you generally have [as a home Ryder Cup team] is being able to do that a little bit, and it was just so frustrating that we were being fought with and argued with on the speed of the greens that we asked for. So that was bizarre," he added.
It was Justin Thomas’ fourth appearance at the Ryder Cup. He made his debut in 2018, but the U.S. team lost that year. The result was the same in 2023 and then again in 2025. He was on the winning team of the Ryder Cup in 2021.
