The 2025 Ryder Cup, hosted at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, will bring the tournament back to U.S. soil, creating an electric home-field atmosphere for American fans.

What’s Driving the Increase?
Since the 2023 Ryder Cup, ticket prices have surged. The 2025 edition heads to Bethpage Black, the iconic state-run public course nicknamed the “People’s Country Club”. Its reputation for being both accessible to everyday golfers and extremely difficult sets the stage for an unforgettable spectacle. With the tournament’s prime New York location, you can expect the crowd to be the most electric in Ryder Cup history.
Some of the best players in the world will be teeing up this year: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and Justin Thomas, all of which made cameos in Happy Gilmore 2. Their dual roles as Hollywood cameos and Ryder Cup competitors have amplified the buzz, giving fans of all kinds a reason to watch, and pushing ticket demand and prices higher.
