Ryder Cup organisers caused quite a stir after announcing extortionately high ticket prices for the 2025 event at Bethpage Black.

Many spectators have been priced out of the Long Island event after tickets in excess of $750 were announced.

In addition to the excessive entry fee, it’s been confirmed the Ryder Cup is set to charge volunteers $350 to work at the event.

The money grab, unfortunately, shows no sign of slowing down ahead of golf’s most eagerly anticipated matchplay event showdown in 2025.

Unsurprisingly, comparing the 2025 prices to previous editions of the Ryder Cup makes for pretty grim reading.

Those fortunate enough to secure tickets for the 2021 event at Whistling Straights were set back $185 for competition days. Furthermore, resale tickets for the Lake Michigan renewal maxed out at around $200. Nearly a 300% increase has taken place ahead of next September’s match.

The $750 price tag looks even more sickening when compared to the 2023 event in Rome. Fans had to part with £91 for a ground pass for practice days and £210 during the weekend.

Fans attending Bethpage have also been warned about the overall viewing experience. The Ryder Cup is notoriously one of the hardest golf events to catch a glimpse of the action.

Ryder Cup tickets should cost $300

Smylie Kaufman says tickets should cost $300, and it’s hard to disagree with the Golf Channel commentator.

Of course, inflation will impact ticket costs, but not to the extent witnessed in recent weeks. For many, $200-$300 would’ve been a fair price, and complaints would’ve been limited.

When looking at golf’s majors, ticket costs typically range between $100 and $150. Crucially, the Masters, Open, PGA Championship, and US Open provide fans with a much-improved viewing experience, with fields of 150 players present.

Those parting with $750 and wishing to attend the Ryder Cup must accept that watching just four groups around Bethpage Black could prove extremely tricky.
