How Much Are 2025 Ryder Cup Tickets?

Yesterday the 2025 Ryder Cup Ticket Registration went live and every golf fan had sticker shock: $750 per ticket. This is the cost for general entry, not even for a suite. To make matters worse, a ticket for Thursday tickets to watch the opening ceremony and see the celebrity golf team is $423, and practice round ticket.

Top Five Reasons Why The 2025 Ryder Cup Tickets Are So Expensive:

1. Golf Popularity: During the pandemic and recent years the popularity of golf has SKYROCKETED. Over 800,000 women started playing golf during the pandemic and more continue to discover the sport, making ticket demand higher.

2. Ryder Cup Infrequency: Major golf tournaments (The Masters, PGA Championship, British Open, and US Open) happen every year. The Ryder Cup happens every two years and switching countries so you have one shot every four years to watch in-person unless you're booking an international flight.

3. 2025 Ryder Cup Location: New York City is the mecca of the financial, insurance and you name it. Business and client entertainment drives up prices. Combined with people being used to paying a lot more for everything this likely played a factor.

4. Greed: The reality is there is never enough money for corporations. Even with TV rights, apparel and beverage sales there is always a way corporations will try to make more money, because they know people or businesses will still pay for the tickets.

5. Inflation: It's no secret we're all feeling the higher cost of living and with that comes sticker shock for things like this. Not saying it's justified but it's happening across all sporting events not just golf.

Our Take On The 2025 Ryder Cup Ticket Costs

Alright, folks, let's talk about the 2025 Ryder Cup. It's a massive event, sure, but are the tickets really worth the astronomical prices they're asking for? Let's break it down.

First off, the Ryder Cup is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. It's where the best golfers in the world face off in a match-play format that's more intense than a UFC fight. The atmosphere is electric, the drama is off the charts, and the bragging rights are everything.

But here's the thing: the prices are a total slap in the face. It's like they're trying to make us feel guilty for wanting to watch some dudes hit a little white ball. I mean, we're not exactly rolling in dough here. We're just regular folks who love golf and want to see some good competition.

So, are the tickets worth it? Well, that's up to you. If you're a die-hard fan who's willing to mortgage your house to be there, then go for it. But if you're like me and you're more interested in saving your hard-earned cash, then maybe there are better ways to spend your money.
