The PGA of America announced a groundbreaking fan engagement initiative, "The People's Perk," at this year's Ryder Cup in New York. The organization plans to distribute 3,000 free tickets for the prestigious event to local golf enthusiasts, promising an unforgettable experience at Bethpage Black and other public courses in Long Island and the NYC Metro area.

The free tickets will be available for the three days of tournament play and practice rounds, divided over six days. Fans will receive two tickets each, yet remain unaware of the date in advance.
