Flown on the second hole at Bethpage Black throughout Wednesday’s practice rounds at the 2025 Ryder Cup, this flag was part of the on-course setup used by players during the full day of preparation, including the Celebrity Match that traditionally opens Ryder Cup week.

The flag features official 2025 Ryder Cup branding, including the tournament logo and a large numeral “1” denoting its on-course placement. Following the conclusion of Wednesday’s rounds, a TRuEST™ authenticator witnessed the flag’s removal on-site, marking and verifying it as part of the course-used set for the event.
