Golf fans were quick to criticize the PGA of America after it revealed its official “Ryder Cup Live” watch party kits ahead of this month’s matches in New York. The announcement sparked immediate backlash online, with many slamming the high prices of the packages.The kits come in two versions, with the “Ultimate” package priced at $1,081. It includes 100 cocktail napkins, coasters, cups, 20 table tents, two “quiet please” paddles, a wall flag, and three window clings. Buyers also receive customizable digital promotional material, mainly aimed at companies looking to host their own parties. The “At Home” kit, meanwhile, costs $343 and offers a smaller collection of items, including napkins, cups, coasters, and hats.Golf page NUCLR Golf shared the news on X, asking fans if they would buy the package. Responses were overwhelmingly negative. One fan wrote:“F**k the Ryder Cup. This is loot!”Another bluntly replied:“That’s a hard no”“I think I speak for everyone when I say no one is buying this shit,” another added.Others mocked the offer, with one saying:“At best that is $50 worth of cr*p from a party store. 🙄”Another compared it to Augusta National’s popular “Taste of the Masters”, adding:“This is trying to imitate the Taste of the Masters but no chance of that for many reasons.”One user criticized the move as:“Disgusting corporate gouging and greed…. Oh wait that’s actually a good representation of the US these days. 🤦‍♂ If they really gave a cr*p at all they’d give stuff out for free and have sponsors pay for it to drive up American passion and interest.”A screenshot of fan reactions on NUCLR Golf's post (via X)Alongside the kits, the PGA announced additional fan activations in New York City. Rockefeller Center will feature giant video boards, live match screenings, and pop-up activations from partners like BMW, Ralph Lauren, and Michelob Ultra.
