With a rich golf history, New York is set to welcome back some of the sport’s prestigious events, showcasing its significance in the golfing world.
New York City – The PGA of America has announced that three major championship tournaments will be held in New York through 2035, just a week before the highly anticipated Ryder Cup matches set to begin on September 26, 2025, at Bethpage Black. These events include the KPMG Women’s PGA Championship at the Black Course of Bethpage Black in 2028 and the PGA Championship at the same venue in 2033, marking the second time the PGA Championship will be hosted there.
Additionally, the PGA Championship will return to Oak Hill Country Club, located near Rochester, for its fifth installment in 2035. This significant schedule of championship golf is designed to bring some of the game’s top competitions back to New York, a state known for its rich golf history.
Bethpage Black, situated on Long Island, has previously hosted the U.S. Open in 2002 and 2009. The KPMG Women’s PGA Championship has been co-run by the PGA and LPGA Tours since 2015. Since that major upgrade in 2015, the Women’s PGA Championship has been elevated to be played at prestigious courses that have a rich history with major championships.
Don Rea Jr., the president of the PGA of America, emphasized the importance of bringing the Women’s PGA Championship to Bethpage Black as a milestone moment. Under the partnership with the LPGA, the Women’s PGA has taken place at eight different courses that have previously hosted major championships. Major winners in recent years include Brooks Koepka, who secured victories at the PGA Championships in New York in both 2019 at Bethpage Black and in 2023 at Oak Hill.
The PGA Championship’s schedule switched from August to May in 2019 to avoid adverse weather conditions. Additionally, the upcoming 2024 U.S. Open is slated for Shinnecock Hills in New York, while the BMW Championship will be held at Liberty National in New Jersey in 2027.
The last Ryder Cup held in New York took place in 1995, where the European team triumphed. Preparations for the upcoming Ryder Cup include the use of virtual reality technology by European players to prepare for the potential for rowdy crowd interactions, which are typical at such events. The VR equipment allows players to simulate course conditions and adapt to varying noise levels.
With regards to team dynamics, Team USA’s Ryder Cup players will receive a total of $500,000, with $300,000 designated for charities chosen by the players. Each player will have $200,000 at their discretion in addition to their philanthropic endeavors. In contrast, Team Europe will not receive an appearance fee for their participation in the Ryder Cup.
This shift in compensation for Team USA signifies a major change from the charitable donation structure established in 1999. The PGA Tour also recently announced its move away from the Kapalua Resort in Hawaii for its season opener starting in 2026, primarily due to ongoing drought and water disputes affecting the course.
The last PGA Tour presence in the New York metropolitan area was recorded in 2021. As the Ryder Cup approaches, anticipation is swirling regarding the intense atmosphere expected at Bethpage Black, which could present unique challenges for players. Commentators have raised concerns that the news regarding American players receiving financial compensation may lead to backlash from fans, as historical rivalries and strategies come into play in this international golfing spectacle.
