🏆 Ryder Cup History: A Legacy of Passion, Pride, and Pressure

The Ryder Cup is one of golf’s most storied and emotionally charged events—a biennial team competition between the United States and Europe that transcends individual achievement and celebrates national pride, camaraderie, and match-play drama.

📜 Origins & Evolution

• Founded: 1927, first played at Worcester Country Club in Massachusetts
• Named After: English businessman Samuel Ryder, who donated the trophy
• Original Format: USA vs. Great Britain
• Expanded: In 1979, the European team began including players from continental Europe to increase competitiveness

💰 Ryder Cup Revenue: A Record-Breaking 2025 Edition

The 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black is expected to generate record-breaking revenue, driven by unprecedented demand, premium pricing, and global fan engagement.

📈 Estimated Revenue Highlights

• Ticket Revenue Alone: Expected to exceed $100 million, with general admission tickets priced at $750 and practice-round tickets starting at $250—both sold out.
• Corporate Hospitality: Limited inventory remains, with premium packages contributing significantly to overall earnings.
• Volunteer Program: Over 4,000 volunteers, each paying $350 for uniforms and meals, adding another layer of revenue.
• TV Rights: The PGA of America has a 15-year, $440 million broadcast deal through 2030. The Ryder Cup contributes roughly $88 million to the PGA Tour over that span.
