Ryder Cup – Hole 4 Flag - Friday 9/26/2025
Used on Hole 4 during Friday’s opening round of the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
Description
Flown on the fourth hole at Bethpage Black during Friday’s opening round of the 2025 Ryder Cup, this flag was in place on September 26 as the United States and Europe began their three-day battle for international golf’s most prestigious team title.
The flag features official 2025 Ryder Cup branding, including the tournament logo and a large numeral “3” denoting its on-course placement. Following the conclusion of Friday play, a TRuEST™ authenticator witnessed the flag’s removal on-site, marking and verifying it as part of the course-used set for the day.
The flag was in place for both sessions of play that day, remaining on the hole throughout the morning and afternoon rounds. All Ryder Cup flags are collected following the conclusion of the tournament on Sunday, September 28. While every effort is made to secure each flag, there is a chance that certain items may not be retrieved due to event operations. In such cases, the item will not be made available for release.
Disclaimer:
This item features a Gold OVD, as a TRuEST™ authenticator was on-site to witness the flag’s removal, verifying its direct use during the 2025 Ryder Cup. Condition may vary slightly from photos, with unique marks that highlight the item’s authenticity as a field-used flag. The cover image has been edited for a white background; all additional photos show the actual flag itself.
Bethpage Black, located in Farmingdale, New York, is one of the most challenging public courses in the United States and a frequent host of major championships. In 2025, it becomes the first New York venue to host the Ryder Cup, bringing one of golf’s most intense rivalries to a famously demanding layout.
This item is part of an official collaboration between The Realest™ and the PGA of America, making authenticated tournament-used Ryder Cup artifacts available directly to fans. Every piece has been verified in coordination with on-site Ryder Cup operations staff and TRuEST™ authenticators.
