Tickets for the 2027 Ryder Cup, available to Irish applicants through a dedicated ballot, sold out in less than an hour today, underscoring the enormous appetite for the prestigious golf event which will be held in Ireland for the first time since 2006.
The Sell-Out
The Irish ticket ballot for the 2027 Ryder Cup opened this morning and was exhausted within an hour, with demand far exceeding the allocation available to Irish applicants. A global ticket sales window is scheduled to open on 3 June, offering further opportunities for golf fans worldwide to secure places at the event.
Jim Furyk has been named as the US Ryder Cup captain for 2027, with the European team captaincy yet to be confirmed. The event is expected to be one of the most significant sporting occasions ever held on the island of Ireland.
Ireland's Ryder Cup History
Ireland last hosted the Ryder Cup in 2006 at The K Club in County Kildare, when Europe defeated the United States 18½ to 9½ in one of the most one-sided results in the competition's history. The 2027 event is expected to generate enormous economic benefits for the host region and the wider Irish economy.
Economic Impact
The Ryder Cup is one of the most watched sporting events in the world, attracting a global television audience of hundreds of millions. Previous host nations have reported significant boosts to tourism, hospitality, and local economies. Ireland's tourism industry is already preparing for an influx of visitors from across Europe and North America.
What's Next
The global ticket ballot opens on 3 June, with golf fans from around the world able to apply for the remaining allocation. The European team captaincy is expected to be announced in the coming months, with several high-profile names under consideration.
