Access Tickets
Those attending the Ryder Cup on Friday, September 26, should expect enhanced security measures and additional restrictions in place at Bethpage Black.
Ticketed attendees are strongly urged to arrive as early as possible and should budget extra time as they plan their day. In addition to security screening at the entrance, spectators will be subjected to TSA-style screening points around the Clubhouse, adjacent grandstand and surrounding areas. If spectators leave these secure areas, they will need to be screened again prior to reentering that area.
Gates will open for ticket holders at 5 a.m.. Guests should make every effort to restrict personal items to a minimum.
Please review the restricted items list in the Ryder Cup Spectators Guide.
In addition, the following items will not be permitted in the first tee grandstand or clubhouse area of the golf course on Friday, September 26 (This prohibition also applies to items purchased at the Ryder Cup merchandise shop)
There is no storage area inside the Bethpage Black Golf Course for prohibited items. A limited number of storage lockers are available near the main entrance outside of the screening area.
Guests should expect temporary delays moving around publicly accessible areas inside and outside of the Bethpage Black Golf Course. These areas may briefly become restricted or frozen spaces before, during or after the event
