Controversy Over $750 Ryder Cup Tickets at Bethpage Black

The PGA of America defends the high prices for the 2025 Ryder Cup, citing its status as a premier event and high demand.

The 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black has set ticket prices at $750 for a single day, sparking backlash from golf fans and media.
PGA of America justifies the pricing by comparing the event to other major sports finals like the World Series and NBA Finals.
Critics argue that the high costs make the event inaccessible, especially given Bethpage Black's status as a public course.
Despite the criticism, the PGA emphasizes that demand for the event is at an all-time high, influencing their pricing strategy.
Tickets for practice rounds and opening ceremonies are also priced significantly higher than in previous years.
