The cheapest ticket for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black is nearly $750, a significant jump from previous events. The Ryder Cup+ ticket offers access to the grounds, seating areas, and shops, along with unlimited food and non-alcoholic drinks.
From September 26-28, 2025, these tickets will cost $749.51 each day, totaling around $2,250 per person for all competition days. This price includes fees and New York sales taxes. Thursday’s practice session tickets are priced at $423.64.
Practice sessions on Tuesday and Wednesday won’t be open to the public; however, Ryder Cup+ tickets for those days are available for $255.27 each.
Fans’ Reactions:
Tickets go on sale in November with a ballot open until October 22, 2024. Fans can enter this lottery system to buy single-day tickets through the PGA of America’s Random Selection process.
Many wonder if high prices will keep real fans away like at the LA Country Club event in 2023. Some believe it might create a quiet crowd atmosphere similar to LACC’s “polite snooze fest.”
I would like to go on the record now and say that if Europe wins the Ryder Cup at Bethpage because the crowds were turned into a polite snooze fest like LACC by the insane ticket prices, it's going to go down as a massive own goal.

Expectations are high for an intense environment at Bethpage next September. The PGA of America plans to remove any fans who misbehave during the event.
Both team captains anticipate an energetic scene; Keegan Bradley trusts New York fans to support their team enthusiastically but responsibly.
Comparing costs: Rome’s cheapest weekend option was just $53 for practice days, while Whistling Straits resale tickets reached about $200 in 2021.
For context, similar Championship+ tickets exist at other events like Quail Hollow’s PGA Championship starting at $262 (excluding taxes). Meanwhile, daily tickets for other major tournaments start around $140 each.
What do you think about these rising prices?
