Toptracer, the world’s leading range technology and official partner of the PGA of America, is taking the Ryder Cup experience global. From Sept. 22 – Oct. 5, players can test their skills on a virtual Bethpage Black at partner ranges around the world. Meanwhile, fans in New York can enjoy the Tournament Range onsite and try the “First Tee Experience” at Rockefeller Centre.
For what’s shaping up to be one of the most talked-about Ryder Cups in recent memory, Toptracer is giving golfers everywhere the chance to take on Bethpage Black’s notoriously tough No. 8 par-3 in a “closest to the pin” challenge. Winners can score a limited-edition swag bag valued at up to $200. To join in, you can simply head to your nearest Toptracer range.
“Not everyone can make it to the Ryder Cup in person, so we’re thrilled to bring one of golf’s toughest tests to them,” says Scott Blevins, Toptracer’s General Manager. “The Americans and Europeans will be giving it their all for the Cup, and we hope golfers around the world will take a swing at the challenge and experience Bethpage Black in a whole new way.”
If you’re one of the lucky ones in New York for the Ryder Cup, there are two ways to get in on the Toptracer fun. From Sept. 24 – 28, stop by Rockefeller Centre for the “First Tee Experience,” where you can take part in a long drive contest, which is free and open to the public.
At Bethpage State Park, fans can follow each team’s practice rounds via the Tournament Range. A quick scan of a QR code lets spectators track carry distance, ball speed, curve, and more; basically, all the geeky stats your inner golf nerd could want.
“Bringing fans closer to the players and the incredible spectacle of the Ryder Cup is what drives us,” adds Blevins. “2025 is shaping up to be the biggest week in golf, and we’re proud to give fans everywhere multiple ways to be part of it.”
A trusted partner of the PGA of America for years, Toptracer is the go-to range technology for PGA professionals across North America. As the Ryder Cup host, the PGA of America is proud to have Toptracer powering the Tournament Range onsite at Bethpage and beyond.
