Few sporting events generate as much anticipation, pride, and drama as the Ryder Cup. This biannual clash between Team Europe and Team USA returns in 2025, and with the action set to unfold at Bethpage Black in New York from 26-28 September, it's expected to be one of the most dynamic editions in recent history.

This biannual clash between Team Europe and Team USA returns in 2025, and with the action set to unfold at Bethpage Black in New York from 26-28 September, it's expected to be one of the most dynamic editions in recent history.
For those attending, whether as corporate hosts, passionate spectators, or part of the golf industry, how you get there matters. Flying privately is not just a statement of luxury, it’s often the most practical, time-efficient and flexible way to attend major sporting events, especially when demand is high and infrastructure is under pressure.
At Villiers Jets, we help clients build tailored travel itineraries to key events like the Ryder Cup, ensuring fast, smooth access while removing the friction points associated with commercial travel.
The 2025 Ryder Cup: What You Need to Know
Bethpage Black is known for its punishing fairways and high-profile history, having previously hosted the U.S. Open and the PGA Championship. For the 2025 Ryder Cup, it becomes the battleground where Team Europe will attempt to defend their 2023 title on American soil, a prospect that adds another layer of intensity to the already electric atmosphere.
The location, just over an hour from Manhattan, will attract a global audience. For private flyers, nearby airports like Republic Airport (FRG) and Long Island MacArthur Airport (ISP) are ideal. Both cater to private aviation and offer convenient ground connections to the course, significantly reducing the travel time compared to flying into JFK or LaGuardia and navigating commercial terminals and city traffic.
Villiers Jets provides direct access to both airports, coordinating your arrival window, FBO preferences, and transfers to ensure seamless entry and exit - even during a globally attended event.

Why Private Jet Travel Makes Sense for the Ryder Cup
The advantages of flying private during a high-profile event like the Ryder Cup go beyond comfort. The value lies in time, convenience, and control:
Avoid congested airports: Major hubs will be operating at capacity, especially during arrival and departure windows around the tournament dates. Private terminals operate separately and with far less disruption.
Custom departure schedules: Flights are arranged around your plans, not fixed airline timetables, giving you more freedom to attend hospitality events, business meetings or extend your trip.
Direct regional access: Skip the New York metro’s major commercial airports and fly into smaller, more convenient airfields close to the event site.
Onboard flexibility: With the option to work, relax, or hold meetings mid-air, your travel time becomes productive time.
These aren't just perks, they're meaningful logistical advantages for business travellers, golf professionals, and high-net-worth clients who want to experience the Ryder Cup with minimal stress.

Combining the Ryder Cup with a Wider Golf Itinerary
For many of our clients, the Ryder Cup isn’t just a destination, it’s the centrepiece of a longer golfing journey. We regularly work with clients who build full itineraries around major events, incorporating rounds at iconic courses or relaxing post-event retreats.
Within the US, you’re within reach of courses like:
- **Pine Valley and Winged Foot (East Coast classics) **
- **Whistling Straits and The Ocean Course at Kiawah Island **
- **Pebble Beach or Bandon Dunes, for a longer post-event tour **
Villiers Jets can assist in structuring multi-leg itineraries, whether you're flying in from Europe or moving between US locations. With access to over 40,000 routes and 10,000 aircraft worldwide, we remove the limits set by commercial scheduling and help you maximise your time both on and off the course.
A Trusted Solution for Group and Corporate Travel
The Ryder Cup is a popular fixture for corporate hospitality, incentive travel, and team-building getaways. Villiers regularly arranges flights for:
- **Corporate groups attending as part of sponsorship or client entertainment **
- **Golf clubs organising member trips **
- **High-profile guests and players needing discreet, short-notice flights **
We coordinate not only the flights but also onboard service customisation, branded catering options, and ground transport logistics, offering a comprehensive, high-touch travel experience.
For smaller groups or couples, empty leg flights can provide a cost-efficient option, especially for one-way journeys or last-minute bookings.
