Founded in 2017\, the tournament is named in honour of Australian tennis legend Rod Laver\, who won two calendar-year grand slams.  \nA unique blend of intense competition and camaraderie\, the now-annual event is held in late September\, after the US Open grand slam\, alternating between cities in Europe and other parts of the world. In 2025\, the Laver Cup will be played at the Chase Center in San Francisco\, California\, from 19-21 September.  \nThe format features two teams: Team Europe and Team World. Each team consists of six players\, including the top three ranked players from their respective regions and three captain’s picks. Tennis icons Björn Borg (Team Europe) and John McEnroe (Team World) have captained the teams since the event’s inception\, adding a layer of historical rivalry and prestige to the competition. Following the 2024 event in Berlin\, which Team Europe won 13-11\, it was announced that Borg and McEnroe would be stepping down as captains. They will be replaced by Yannick Noah (Team Europe) and Andre Agassi (Team World).  \nThe Laver Cup is played on indoor hard courts\, with three singles and one doubles match per day. Each match victory earns points for the team\, with the point value increasing each day (one point per win on Friday\, two points on Saturday\, and three on Sunday). The first team to reach 13 points out of a possible 24 is crowned the champion. In the event of a tie\, a deciding match is played to determine the winner. This escalating point system creates high drama\, making every match crucial to the overall outcome.  \nOne of the tournament’s most exciting aspects is the doubles competition\, often featuring unexpected pairings between top singles players\, like when Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal teamed up for Team Europe in the inaugural 2017 edition. With its fast-paced format\, elite-level competition\, and electrifying atmosphere\, the Laver Cup has quickly become one of the most anticipated events on the tennis calendar. \nFor more information see:  \n\nEvent: lavercup.com   \nVenue: chasecenter.com \nHost city: sftravel.com    URL:https://www.sportstourismnews.com/events/tennis-laver-cup-2025-san-francisco/ LOCATION:Chase Center\, 1 Warriors Way\, San Francisco\, CA\, 94158\, United States CATEGORIES:2025 sports events,Tennis END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250926 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250929 DTSTAMP:20250829T092900 CREATED:20231002T040632Z LAST-MODIFIED:20241012T115455Z UID:12296-1758844800-1759103999@www.sportstourismnews.com SUMMARY:Golf: 2025 Ryder Cup DESCRIPTION:The 2025 Ryder Cup\, scheduled to take place at Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale\, New York from 26-28 September 2025\, promises to be one of the most highly anticipated evens on the 2025 sporting calendar. \nAfter their 16½-11½ defeat against Team Europe in Rome in 2023\, Team USA will be looking to regain the Ryder Cup on home soil in 2025. \nBethpage Black\, a public course known for its difficulty and rugged design\, has hosted major tournaments in the past\, including the US Open\, but this will be its first Ryder Cup.
