Cameron Young’s Ryder Cup dream comes to Bethpage Black with 2025 assignment

Bethpage Black in New York will host the 2025 Ryder Cup, and Cameron Young is set to represent the United States at the course whose design and challenge have long anchored his ambitions. The decision by the PGA of America to stage the next Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black crystallizes a goal Young has pursued since he was a teenager, a plan that gradually took shape after the 2014 Junior Ryder Cup. The revelation of the host venue in 2025 gave the Westchester native the opportunity he’s chased for more than a decade as his professional career built toward this moment.

Young, a Westchester County native who honed his game at Sleepy Hollow Country Club, where his father, Dave Young, served as head professional for two decades, has long carried the Bethpage dream with him. The elder Young helped shape his son’s formative swing, work ethic, and competitive fire as Cam advanced through junior events and into professional golf. The family dynamic and local roots anchored Young as a rising player who could one day be part of a Ryder Cup team that would convene at a storied public course in New York.

The pursuit has been described in public accounts as all-consuming at times. Reports have noted that Young’s path toward Bethpage involved periods of seclusion and intense focus, a testament to how personal the journey has been for him as he worked to align his career trajectory with a Ryder Cup berth. The Bethpage decision, announced if not explicitly stated as personal destiny, is framed in interviews and profiles as the culmination of a long-held objective that began in earnest during his teenage years and matured through his rise on the PGA Tour.

Bethpage Black, a course famous for demanding strategy and discipline, represents a demanding test for any player called to the Ryder Cup. For Young, it is also a homecoming of sorts: a New York-New Jersey corridor stage where his early development and competitive temperament were forged, and a public proving ground that could define the next phase of his career. His presence on the U.S. team at Bethpage will add a layer of narrative to a club that has long shaped his approach to golf and teamwork.

As the Ryder Cup returns to a venue with deep public resonance and a New York footprint, Young’s journey from Sleepy Hollow to Bethpage will be recounted as a story of patience, persistence, and a dream kept alive by family support and the promise of a course that tests every facet of a modern golfer. The 2025 matches will not only mark a milestone for Young but also offer a broader chapter in the ongoing relationship between a player and the public course that helped set him on this path.
