32nd Annual BLUE RIDGE RYDER CUP
October 9-11, 2025 – Carroll Valley, PA
Key word for the 2025 tournament? Parity. With tweaks to the Redmen’s lineup triggering a broader realignment, the team captains believe we have – on paper – the most balanced competition ever.
For the top of their lineup, the Redmen have recruited someone remarkably low in both age and handicap, Curtis Smith of Ellicott City, Maryland. At their roster’s southern end, the Redmen are bringing in the captains’ brother-in-law Joe Schweitzer of Loveland, Colorado, who has been diligently honing his game on the Olde Course (no, not that one).
The Fighting Mulligans, meanwhile, are standing pat with the exception of bringing back Matt Sandlin for his third Cup appearance. The team is gunning for its third win in a row, a feat that, unlike the Redmen, they have never achieved. For those who follow such things, the Redmen’s lead in the series stands at 16-13-2.
The format of play remains largely the same, including an opening team scramble and rounds of modified alternating shot and two-man scramble mixed in with multiple best-ball rounds. In one change that reflects this year’s unusual balance between the teams’ respective counterparts, the 18-hole singles matchups have been set in advance.
Action by September 22:
