If you’re the type who likes to wait until the very last minute to purchase a ticket for a sporting event, you’re looking like a genius right now. When prices were originally announced for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black, golf fans were stunned to find out it would cost them $750 to attend Read more…
Late attempts to sell tickets on the re-sale market in the face of a European blowout appear to have been snapped up by vocal fans of the visiting side.
The idea of a LIV Golf player becoming captain of either the US or European teams seems very unlikely; the Europeans would actually have to re-write their rules to allow it to happen. It also seems like Mickelson isn’t biting on the idea, either.

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. — Consider this your “silver linings America” post as we approach the afternoon fourball session on Saturday with the home team trailing 8½ to 3½ and seemingly on the verge of a historic and very embarrassing home loss.

If U.S. Ryder Cup fans woke up on Saturday hoping for a change in the wind, they didn’t get it. Team Europe won three of four morning foursomes matches to extend their lead, and a big reason for that was the play of Jon Rahm. The Spaniard played like a man en fuego, holing a Read more…
