The Ryder Cup is coming to Farmingdale in 2025 for a few days of USA 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. 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.
Golf fans on social media had a lot of thoughts about this as they caught wind of it:
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. pic.twitter.com/wnAOP72lqA

If you want to go see all 3 days (Fri-Sun) at the Ryder Cup in Long Island next year then you're paying $2,500 without fees or taxes. There is a price gouging crisis and in live sports. It affects the game day atmosphere and tv experience. #RyderCup #PGATour #LivGolf pic.twitter.com/YYNcZlwwHW

There's definitely a market for $750 single-day Ryder Cup tickets with food and beverage included BTW. They're going to sell them all.
