2025 Ryder Cup Tickets Sell Out Despite Outcry Over $750 Price

Tickets for the 2025 Ryder Cup have sold out despite complaints of extreme price-gouging around the biennial team golf event set to be played just outside New York City Sept. 26–28.

Tickets for the 2025 Ryder Cup have sold out despite complaints of extreme price-gouging around the biennial team golf event set to be played just outside New York City on Sept. 26–28.

The PGA of America, which operates the Ryder Cup when it is played in the U.S. every four years, said there were more than 500,000 registrants for the random selection process to buy tickets, which cost $750 for each of the three competition days Friday through Sunday. A limited number of practice-round tickets (Sept. 22–24) remain available at prices between $255 and $370.

That $750 price tag is more than double the $350 high point of tickets to the previous Ryder Cup played Stateside—in Wisconsin in 2021 (delayed one year due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

Next year’s event will see Team USA try to take back the cup from Team Europe at Bethpage Black Golf Course, which has previously hosted men’s major championships, including the U.S. Open and PGA Championship, in Farmingdale, N.Y. 

In 2019, tickets to the PGA Championship at Bethpage Black cost $110 for competition days, with more than 200,000 people attending through that tournament.

Golf fans and media personalities voiced their concerns about Ryder Cup ticket prices earlier this fall, but the PGA of America defended the high rates, citing a combination of the event’s increased demand and big-market location.

“We view ourselves as a tier one event that’s on par with a World Series or with an NBA Finals Game 7,” PGA of America championship director Bryan Karns said during an interview on SiriusXM. And organizers are not being shy about leaning in to that premium feel. “There are people who have the Ryder Cup on their bucket list in the same way that someone would have a Yankees opening game [of the] World Series on their bucket list,” Karns said.

LIV Golf players are allowed to compete in the Ryder Cup, but the controversial tour’s lack of world ranking points accreditation will make it difficult to qualify for either team. Six players will automatically qualify, with captains Keegan Bradley (U.S.) and Luke Donald (Europe) each getting six selections of their own.
