Club Car will again play a pivotal role at the Ryder Cup, with a fleet of nearly 500 vehicles powering the teams and operations for the 45th edition of the matches taking place at Bethpage Black in New York this week.
With support from official distributors and partners, Club Car golf and utility vehicles will be used across the massive event footprint by captains and vice-captains, match officials, staging crews, broadcasters, greenkeeping teams, and transportation staff to keep the tournament moving.
Club Car also built the iconic red and blue custom team cars, ensuring US Captain Keegan Bradley, European Captain Luke Donald, and their respective vice-captains can move efficiently across the sprawling Black Course.
“We take great pride in our role as a trusted partner to the Ryder Cup and PGA of America,” said Fred Palmer, Vice President of Golf Business Development at Club Car. “It is incredibly rewarding to see our vehicles in action across Bethpage and in the heart of the city to help deliver one of the most iconic events in sports.”
In addition to its operational role, Club Car is delivering a series of fan-focused activations around the 2025 Ryder Cup.
The excitement begins with ‘Ryder Cup Live’ at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan, which opens to the public on Thursday, September 25, and continues through the final putt and trophy presentation on Sunday, September 28. Club Car will be front and centre with a dramatic 50-foot putting challenge. Fans who sink the putt have the ability to enter for a chance to win to win an authentic Team USA Ryder Cup car used in the matches, while a replica car on display offers the perfect photo opportunity.
At Bethpage Black, Club Car will showcase three Club Car Onward LSVs in the People’s Plaza, the official fan zone of the Ryder Cup. Fans can commemorate their Ryder Cup experience while sitting in the comfortable seats of an Onward LSV and share their pictures on social media to receive a Club Car and Ryder Cup branded sticker while supplies last.
Club Car is also part of a new initiative supporting PGA REACH with a first-of-its-kind memorabilia auction, featuring items such as tee markers, pin flags, and even the golf cars used inside the ropes. Proceeds will benefit PGA REACH’s charitable initiatives, giving fans a chance to own a piece of Ryder Cup history while supporting the growth of the game.
“The Ryder Cup brings the world together, and we’re proud to help fans feel that excitement firsthand,” said Palmer. “From snapping selfies in a replica team car to taking a 50-foot putt in New York or exploring our street-legal cars at Bethpage, it’s about making the Ryder Cup experience unforgettable.”
