Answering the biggest questions surrounding the controversy over the ticket prices for the 2025 Ryder Cup. 
ā¦
Have the people been priced out of āThe peopleās country club?ā That is the general worry on social media after ticket price for next yearās Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, revealed earlier this year, went viral. Golf Twitter can be a tough crowd, yet this wasnāt just a few amplified voices manufacturing a controversy, as the subject became one of the trending topics on both X and Google trends Monday. We do our best to sort the Ryder Cup mess out below.
Wait, what Ryder Cup controversy?
The uproar began when No Laying Upās Kevin Van Valkenburg posted a screenshot of the daily badge prices for the 2025 Ryder Cup. He amplified it by writing: āI 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, itās going to go down as a massive own goal.ā That would be a nod to the infamous turnout at last yearās U.S. Open, where tight confines and a persnickety Los Angeles Country Club membership limited the allotment of general admission tickets to fans, leading to one of the quieter galleries in recent major history. But this time itās not topography or a club keeping the public out, but potentially the cost. Entry for one of the eventās three days of competition starts at $750 per person, with practice days tagged at $255.
