The United States is facing an early 3-1 deficit at the 2025 Ryder Cup, and captain Keegan Bradley is trotting out four new pairings to begin its comeback attempt. Scottie Scheffler, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay will double up and play again during four-ball matches after participating in the morning foursomes.

None of them, however, will pair with the same partner. The same goes for Europe, which will use Rory McIlroy, Jon Rahm, Tommy Fleetwood and Ludvig Åberg again but with new partners. Whereas the morning featured alternating shots, the afternoon will be a best ball team competition.

Notable matchups include Scheffler and Rahm going against one another with relative Ryder Cup newbies as their partner (American J.J. Spaun and Sepp Straka). Patrick Cantlay and Rory McIlroy are also facing each other after a dramatic weekend encounter involving McIlroy and Cantlay's caddie at the 2023 Ryder Cup.

Here are the complete pairings, matchups and tee times for Friday's four-ball session at the 2025 Ryder Cup:
