The 2025 Ryder Cup is heating up at Bethpage Black this morning, but the real action kicked off before anybody teed off with a swanky welcome dinner at the historic Hempstead House in Sands Point earlier this week.
Team USA and Team Europe golfers traded their clubs for tuxes, stepping out on the red carpet with their stunning wives and girlfriends—affectionately known as WAGs.
This glamorous gala was all about elegance, selfies, and a dash of pre-competition camaraderie, setting the stage for what’s sure to be an epic showdown this weekend.
If you’re like me, you’re here for the eye candy as much as the golf—and these WAGs turned heads in sparkling gowns and fringe dresses. But then again, as you’ll see, they always look stunning. It seems like golf’s off-course style is just as competitive as the game itself.
Let’s dive into the standout ladies who lit up the evening and continue to light up the lives of these professional golfers.
Diane Donald (Luke Donald)
Kicking things off with Team Europe’s captain, Luke Donald, and his wife, Diane, who absolutely owned the room in her gold fringe dress. Posing arm-in-arm with her hubby under the chandelier-lit entrance, Diane exuded old-Hollywood glamour.
She even played photographer for a fun group selfie with the other WAGs, capturing the night’s vibe like a pro.
Kelley Cahill (Jon Rahm)
Now, we all know you took one look at that selfie and the lovely young lady in the front caught your eye at some point. Admit it.
That is Kelley Cahill, wife of European golfer Jon Rahm. Kelley’s poise and style added to the group’s allure, making her a standout in the sea of glamour. A plunging neckline dress didn’t hurt in any way, shape, or form.

Meredith Scheffler (Scottie Scheffler)
World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler walked the grand entrance with wife Meredith, both in their absolute finest. Meredith’s presence added a touch of grace to the night, complementing Scottie’s star power perfectly.
It’s good to see she’s helped turn his life around after a hardened past, including run-ins with the law.
