The PGA of America will give away 3 000 tickets to September's Ryder Cup showdown at Bethpage Black, surprising New York area fans with a program known as The People's Perk.
Details announced on Wednesday by the PGA of America said free tickets will be distributed over the next five months at surprise moments at Bethpage Black and public courses in the New York area.
New York residents will receive complimentary Ryder Cup tickets in consultation with the Metropolitan PGA Section, with other special visits delivering tickets to first responders and community groups.
The 3 000 tickets will include 500 each for three tournament days of the men's team matches between European and United States golfers as well as three practice days before the event. Winners will be assured of two tickets but not necessarily on a particular day.
"The People's Perk: A Ryder Cup Ticket Giveaway is a special way for us to celebrate the unparallelled dedication and enthusiasm of the New York golf community by providing them with a memorable experience at the 2025 Ryder Cup," PGA of America president Don Rea Jr. said.
