"We view ourselves as a Tier 1 event"- PGA of America director shares his take on the high price of Ryder Cup tickets
In October 2024, PGA of America Director Bryan Karns defended the high prices of Ryder Cup tickets in an interview with SiriusXM Radio. Karns explained the pricing by describing the Ryder Cup as a "Tier 1 event," comparing it to the "NBA Finals Game 7."
"We view ourselves as a Tier 1 event that's on par with a World Series, or with an NBA Finals Game 7. That was a part of it. So when we look at pricing, we're able to tap into data from all these different venues," he said.
The Ryder Cup, widely regarded as one of the most popular team events in golf, takes place every two years, alternating between European and American venues. The last event took place in Rome, Italy, where the European team, led by captain Luke Donald, secured an impressive 16 1/2 to 11 1/2 victory.
Donald will return as captain of Team Europe in 2025, while Keegan Bradley will lead Team USA. The tournament is scheduled for September 25-28 at Bethpage Black Course in New York.
