GOLF fans have threatened to “boycott” the Ryder Cup after prices were revealed for the 2025 tournament.
Team Europe will hope to defend their crown against the US at the Bethpage Black Golf Course in New York from September 26 to 28 next year.

With demand extremely high to watch the iconic event, supporters have to enter a “random selection” ballot for tickets and complete a registration by October 22.
If successful, they will then be presented with a chance to book their spot on the course at some point next month.
But fans have been left fuming after finding out the price of tickets they’re applying for.
The “random selection” ballot only includes “Ryder Cup+” seats.
A single ticket to any of the three days of action are priced at an eye-popping £574 ($750) each.
While the cost of a pass to the practice sessions earlier in the week will set you back between £195 ($255) and £324 ($423)
However, “Ryder Cup+” tickets do include “access to unlimited food and non-alcoholic beverages at all market concessions throughout the grounds and no extra cost”.
But despite the the added benefit of unlimited food and drink, golf fans are still seething with the astronomical prices and took to social media to react.

One fan raged: “I 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 by the insane ticket prices, it’s going to go down as a massive own goal.”
While another joked: “I need to sign a LIV deal so I can afford Ryder Cup tickets.”
Some fans weren’t taking such a lighthearted approach to the decision.
One even suggested that the event should be boycotted, writing: “We all need to unify and boycott this. Then we can move on to groceries and housing next”.
The 2023 Ryder Cup at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club near Rome offered fans a much more reasonable price for general admission.
The Italian event had tickets priced between £38 and £46 ($50 and $60) for practice days.
While weekend tickets were priced at £200 ($264) for the Friday and Saturday and £210 ($275) for the Sunday.
