The real sin of $750 Bethpage Ryder Cup tickets isn’t the price

The real sin of $750 Bethpage Ryder Cup tickets isn’t the price

The buzz around the $750 tickets for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black has sparked some intense reactions from fans. However, the true issue goes beyond the price tag – it’s about how the PGA of America is prioritizing lining its pockets over the spirit of the event.

Despite being a non-profit organization, the PGA of America has a track record of placing financial gains over the well-being of its members and the sport of golf. In 2019, the PGA of America compensated its CEO, Seth Waugh, with a hefty $1.9 million in salary and bonuses, surpassing the earnings of Mike Davis, CEO of the USGA, who earns $1.2 million annually.

Moreover, the PGA of America has a habit of elevating ticket prices for its tournaments. Back in 2016, ticket prices for the Ryder Cup at Hazeltine National saw a 20% surge. This year, the PGA of America repeated the pattern by increasing ticket prices for the PGA Championship at Southern Hills by 10%.

The PGA of America’s relentless pursuit of profit is adversely impacting the golfing community. By inflating the costs for fans to attend its events, the PGA of America is inadvertently creating barriers for individuals to engage with the game. It’s high time for the PGA of America to refocus its priorities on serving its members and nurturing the sport of golf, rather than solely chasing financial gains.

Rory McIlroy, a four-time major champion, remained guarded in his remarks but acknowledged the imminent transformation of the global golf landscape. “The future holds unknowns, and the form of the merger remains a mystery,” he mused. “Clarity on this awaits the unveiling through the forthcoming press release.”

Solheim Cup: Team USA preps for biennial battle against Euros

The 17th Solheim Cup gets underway Friday at Gleneagles in Scotland: Team USA vs. Team Europe and bragging rights as the top women’s golf continent. Team USA has won the past two matches, but the Europeans lead the all-time series 10-6-1.

Much of the attention this week will be on Team USA’s lineup: Captain Stacy Lewis made three captain’s picks (Angel Yin, Mina Harigae and Ally Ewing) who are making their debuts. For Harigae, it will also be her first time playing in Europe.

“It’s definitely going to be different,” Harigae said. “But I feel like our team is going to help us get acclimated and be prepared for it, and just feed off the energy of each other.”

Europe is making one captain’s pick as well: England’s Charley Hull, who played on the victorious 2019 team.

How the final 2024 Tour Championship leaderboard looks without starting strokes

Tour Championship Leaderboard Without Starting Strokes

The final leaderboard for the 2024 Tour Championship at East Lake has been released, and it shows a different picture than the one we saw on Sunday. Without the staggered starting strokes, Scottie Scheffler would have won the tournament by two strokes over Patrick Cantlay. Will Zalatoris would have finished third, followed by Jon Rahm and Rory McIlroy.

The change in the leaderboard is due to the fact that the starting strokes format gives an advantage to the players who finished higher in the FedEx Cup standings. This year, the top five players in the standings started the tournament with a two-shot lead over the rest of the field.

The staggered starting strokes format has been used at the Tour Championship since 2019, and it has been controversial from the start. Some players have argued that it gives an unfair advantage to the top players in the standings, while others have said that it makes the tournament more exciting.
