2014 Ryder Cup Frequently Asked Questions

What are the dates of The 2014 Ryder Cup?

Ryder Cup Europe has confirmed that The 2014 Ryder Cup will finish in September. The exact week in September will be announced when discussions between The European Tour, the PGA of America and the PGA TOUR regarding tournament scheduling for that year have been concluded. We will announce the date as soon as it is confirmed.

How can I get tickets to The 2014 Ryder Cup?

Ryder Cup Europe will make an official announcement through www.RyderCup.com when communication channels open for spectators to register their interest in applying for tickets, which will be sometime in 2013.

The sale of tickets will follow a similar process to previous years where a ballot will be opened and spectators are invited to enter their name, and if their name is drawn they will be offered the chance to purchase tickets to the event. Until then, Scotland hosts top European Tour golf tournaments every year so take the opportunity to watch the world's best players compete in the Home of Golf. Visit www.EventScotland.org for more information.

Will there be any packages available for The 2014 Ryder Cup?

Yes. Ryder Cup Travel Services, officially appointed by Ryder Cup Europe, will have travel packages available for sale to The 2014 Ryder Cup on the conclusion of the 2012 Matches in Chicago, USA. Visit www.rcts.co.uk for details on packages for The 2012 Ryder Cup at Medinah.

Will there be any rooms available at The Gleneagles Hotel during The 2014 Ryder Cup?

All bedrooms at The Gleneagles Hotel have been given to the event organisers to meet the needs of the players, officials and dignitaries, therefore members of the general public will be unable to stay here during the event. However there is a wealth of accommodation in the surrounding area and indeed further afield that is ready to look after you during your trip to The 2014 Ryder Cup.

I would like to volunteer at The 2014 Ryder Cup - how will this process work?

A comprehensive process to engage volunteers from both inside and outside Scotland who are interested in working at The 2014 Ryder Cup is to be undertaken.

Ryder Cup Europe envisages a total of in excess of 1,400 volunteers being required. Ryder Cup Europe will provide notification when the public can register for volunteer opportunities although this is unlikely to be prior to October 2012.

Can I play The PGA Centenary Course at Gleneagles?

Yes. Check the Offers and Packages section of this web site for great deals or visit www.gleneagles.com/golf for more information on green fees and how to book a tee time.

When is the best time to play golf in Scotland?

You can play golf in Scotland all year round. The main golf season is April until September. May and September are the busiest months. We advise you to book well in advance to avoid disappointment. Golf is played by Scots throughout the winter, especially on links courses.

What clothing should I bring?

When playing golf in Scotland we recommend that you come prepared, as the weather can be a little unpredictable. Pack a woollen sweater and a set of waterproofs. It is also worth remembering that many clubs operate a dress code where jeans, collarless shirts and trainers are not permitted. It is best to check directly with the golf club.
