Rex & Lav Pod: Are Ryder Cup ticket prices good business or bad optics?

Social media was ablaze last week when Ryder Cup ticket prices, revealed earlier this year, went viral.

Fans turning up at Bethpage Black will have paid roughly $250 for a practice-round pass and $750 for competition days.

We debate that and more in this edition of the “Golf Channel Podcast with Rex & Lav”.
