The Ryder Cup is coming to Farmingdale, New York, in 2025 for a few days of U.S. vs. Europe action at Bethpage Black, which means it’s going to get rowdy on one of the toughest tests on all of golf.
Getting a ticket requires winning a “random selection process”, with tickets going on sale in November of 2024.
The PGA of America website explains:
By registering, you’ll be entered for an opportunity to purchase tickets when they go on sale in November 2024. The Ryder Cup is one of the few sporting events in the world where tickets are sold through a Random Selection Process, meaning the demand for tickets far outweighs the supply available.
But after that, what’s the cost?
It turns out it’s A LOT: $255.57 for practice days, $423.64 on Wednesday, and then just under $750 (!) for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Those apparently include food and beverage, but still! That’s a lot of money.
