The PGA of America has received criticism online for the steep prices.
鈥淚 would like to go on the record now and say that if Europe wins the Ryder Cup at Bethpage because the crowds were turned into a polite snooze fest like LACC (Los Angeles Country Club) by the insane ticket prices, it鈥檚 going to go down as a massive own goal,鈥 golf journalist Kevin Van Valkenburg , formerly known as Twitter.

The prices have also not gone down well with fans.
鈥淲hat are better things to do with your money than pay this amount for Ryder Cup Tickets? Seriously, the Ryder Cup is not good from a spectator鈥檚 standpoint. I guess even the Ryder Cup is not immune from inflation,鈥 .
鈥淭his is going to be 90 per cent corporate buyers. Nobody normal is paying US$800 for a Ryder cup ticket,鈥 .
CNN has reached out to the PGA of America for comment.
