Ryder Cup tickets will cost at least €450 a day at Adare Manor, but you can get a taste of the action by becoming a volunteer for the centenary matches at the Co Limerick venue from 13-19 September 2027.

Two types of volunteer roles are available — the traditional on-course Marshal and the “new-look Ambassador” role, which will support the overall fan experience.

Applications for both roles officially opened today and close on 1 April 2026. Kit Gartrell, Ryder Cup Event Delivery Director at the European Tour Group, said: “The 2027 Ryder Cup will be the biggest sporting event that Ireland has ever staged and the world will be watching.

“Our volunteers will have the opportunity to be at the heart of this iconic event and be part of history. We have already had more than 24,000 expressions of interest in these roles on our website, which shows the passion for the event.

“For our Ambassador role, we want to encourage applications from a diverse pool of people to showcase the country’s famously warm and welcoming hospitality to the thousands of visitors from across the globe who will visit the region.

“Applications are also live for the hugely important Marshal role. “The country has a strong track record of hosting major international golf tournaments, with a strong network of Marshals already in existence as a result.

“We want to tap into this expertise, and identify new talent, to make sure the 2027 Ryder Cup delivers a best-in-class experience for players and fans.”

You can apply via the dedicated volunteer page on the Ryder Cup website as the European Tour looks to fill 2,000 roles.

People who have already registered will be contacted directly by Ryder Cup Europe via email in the coming days to complete the application form. Applicants will be notified in August this year if their application has been successful, with further details on their specific role at the event to follow in November.

Ambassadors will be stationed at key locations - from transport hubs across County Limerick to the entrances to the golf course and key locations on-site, such as the Fan Village - where they will guide visitors, answer questions and help create memorable experiences. No golf knowledge or experience is needed, just enthusiasm and a collaborative mindset, the European Tour said.

The 2027 Ryder Cup will take place at Adare Manor from 13-19 September 2027. It will be the second time that Ireland has hosted the event, following the K Club in Kildare in 2006.
