Thousands of golf fans in the New York area could be in for a big surprise over the next five months: The PGA of America is giving away free tickets to the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.
In a giveaway being called, “The People's Perk,” the PGA of America will be giving away tickets randomly to New York residents — no notice when or where — who are at Bethpage Black and several other public golf courses on Long Island and the New York City metro area.
The Metropolitan PGA Section will help choose the public courses, and the PGA of America then will conduct randomly selected visits to distribute the tickets.
