Interest builds ahead of Adare Ryder Cup with applications now sought for various roles

Anyone interested in attending the Ryder Cup next year has two weeks left to apply to volunteer at the event. 

The Adare Manor event may be more than a year away but already interest is building. 

While general tickets are not on sale yet, volunteering at the event is one way to ensure you get to see the action. 

There are two types of volunteer role available, with the traditional on-course Marshal role joined by a new-look ‘Ambassador’ role that will support the overall fan experience and the smooth running of the event.
Applications for both roles close on 1st April 2026. You can apply via the dedicated volunteer page on the Ryder Cup website. 

There will be approximately 2,000 roles available, but there has been huge interest already. 

More than 24,000 people have already registered their interest in applying for voluntary roles via the Ryder Cup website.

Those who registered their interest will be contacted directly via email by Ryder Cup Europe in the coming days to complete the application form. Applicants can initially apply for a marshal or ambassador role and will be notified if their application has been successful in August 2026. 

Further details on their specific role at the event will then follow in November 2026. 

The number of volunteers needed dwarfs the 400 that were needed for the Irish Open in Fota Island in 2014.

With Adare Manor set to host the event from 17–19 September 2027, the atmosphere promises to be electric following the 2025 match. 

The last major event to be held in Adare was the JP McManus ProAm in 2022, that attracted over 40,000 spectators each day. 

No figures have been given on how many tickets will be available for Adare but it is likely that it will be more than 40,000 for each of the three days.

The golf course in Adare is currently closed for renovations. No major changes to the 2018 design are expected but it is likely that some conditioning and presentation upgrades will take place. 

The course will reopen for hotel residents in June and will be open until October before it’s closed again until 2027.

Europe will arrive in Adare as favourites, and with Irish stars likely to feature the home support will be something special. General admission tickets are due to go on sale later this year. 

They will include the three days of competitive golf along with the practice days.

The event was a sell out in 2006 when the K Club hosted the first and only Ryder Cup in Ireland. 

A ticket ballot has been in operation for all events since 2006 and the registration for the 2027 staging is now open on the Ryder Cup website.

Adare promises to be a special event, in addition to being the first Ryder Cup in Ireland in over 20 years, it also marks the 100th anniversary of the first staging of the Ryder Cup in Worcester Country Club in Massachusetts. 

Limerick will also host the Junior Ryder Cup that at the start of the week, and tickets will also be available for that event.

For those who don’t want to leave things to chance, Premium Experience packages are already available. 

Options such as the Captain’s Club, priced around €700, offer access to exclusive dining, screens, and viewing areas—ideal for anyone looking to make a proper occasion of it.

At the top end, the Trophy Suite comes in at approximately €13,000 and includes meet‑and‑greet opportunities and a private terrace overlooking the par‑3 11th. 

Official Ryder Cup travel packages are also currently available, offering 5-night stays, accommodation, transport, and match tickets, often priced upwards of €5,000 per person.

General admission ticket prices for Adare haven’t been revealed yet. 

The 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black came with some of the highest face‑value prices ever seen at the event, with competition‑day tickets originally set at $750 and practice‑day access starting around $255. 

This was significantly higher than Rome in 2023 when general admission was €250 and the practice days were €60.

Secondary marketplaces have already begun listing tickets, with practice‑day passes starting around £850 and Sunday singles tickets reaching £1,750. 

Whatever the ticket prices will be, the event is guaranteed to be sold out across all categories.
