The PGA of America just announced it’s bringing a free fan experience into the heart of Manhattan. It’s called Ryder Cup Live, an immersive showcase in Rockefeller Center from Sept. 25 – Sept. 28.
It’s all designed to let fans be part of the Ryder Cup drama.
There will be interactive golf challenges, themed bars, celebrity appearances, limited-edition swag and a chance to virtually tee it up just like the pros are doing at the famed Farmingdale course.
All within the backdrop of two giant screens, where fans can see all the action as it’s happening on the course.
“Ryder Cup Live provides unprecedented opportunities for spectators to take part in the spirit of the Ryder Cup,” said Jeff Price, Chief Commercial and Philanthropy Officer of the PGA of America.
