How much are tickets to the men’s golf majors in 2025?

The Ryder Cup ticket prices got us thinking about the four men’s golf majors in 2025.

When the PGA of America released ticket prices for the 2025 Ryder Cup, golf fans had an eye-opening – or more accurately, an eye-popping – moment.

The $750 price point for a daily pass for any of the three days of competition became the talk of the golf world. The event being held in New York at Bethpage was one of the factors, to be sure. And the event will likely sell out, as it always does.

That got us thinking about the price of tickets to the men’s golf majors in 2025. Ticket prices can vary depending on the day of the week as well as the experience, i.e., a general admission ticket is obviously less than a seat in a VIP section. We’re not going to attempt to spell out every last detail here but rather take a look at the “basic” ticket for each event.

In addition, these are the prices that are listed on the tournament’s official websites. This does not imply tickets are still available and of course does not reflect how much tickets might cost through a ticket reseller.

Why Asia-Pacific Amateur champion Wenyi Ding is likely to pass on Masters, Open Championship exemptions

“I think more likely I should take the card.”

Wenyi Ding picked up one of the biggest wins of his life Sunday.

The 19-year-old from China, who won the USGA’s 2022 U.S. Junior Amateur at Bandon Dunes, captured the 2024 Asia-Pacific Amateur Championship at Taiheiyo Club Gotemba in Japan, carding four consecutive rounds of 3-under 67 to claim the title by one shot over fellow countryman Ziqin Zhou, a freshman at California. Ding, ranked fifth in the World Amateur Golf Ranking, earned exemptions into the 2025 Masters and 2025 Open Championship with the win, but he’s planning to pass on them.

The reason why? He’s likely turning pro before the end of the year to earn his DP World Tour card.

“Before I played this, I can’t imagine I’m guarantee(d) to win this tournament,” Ding said Sunday. “So, I don’t know. It’s a problem.

“I think more likely I should take the card.”

A follow-up question was then asked about when that would happen, and Ding said maybe next week.

Ding, who withdrew from Arizona State before the fall after playing the spring with the Sun Devils, is No. 1 in the Global Amateur Pathway ranking, which rewards the top non-collegiate amateur every year with a DP World Tour card. To be eligible, a player must “not be a current NCAA Division-I player” and “be at least 20 years of age by the end of the calendar year.” Ding turns 20 in November.

The winner of the Asia-Pacific Amateur gets an exemption into the two major championship, with the caveat the player remains an amateur. However, Ding sounds confident he will find his way to both Augusta National and golf’s oldest major in due time.

“No matter what, I’m amateur or pro, I will still play the Masters and The Open. So if I can, I can make it later,” he said.

Last year, Ding fell in a playoff to Jasper Stubbs at Royal Melbourne to lose the Asia-Pacific Amateur. This time around, in what could be his final event as an amateur, he picked up his latest signature win and proved his worth of the professional opportunities waiting for him.

He was asked whether there would be any regrets to passing on the exemptions, to which he answered: “A person can have a lot of regrets. When I was 14, I won the amateur event in China for three years, and every time you win, you got the Volvo China Open. But the call didn’t come. So it’s hard.”

Only time will tell if and when Ding will tee it up in the major championships.
