We were hopeful of at least getting a ticket for practice day and enjoying it without needing to remortgage our house.

Instead, after over two hours of accessing the exclusive window for Irish residents, the only option was a weekly ticket for €1,999 per person.

I fully understand that you have no hand, act or part in this.

Well, Eddie does.

He sets the prices, so...

But as a golf enthusiast and with Eddie not in China, so no need to spend my time refreshing the DP app, I felt like sharing my frustration with fellow golfers and listeners.

I know the argument about this being the opportunity for the DP tour to make money, but the prices are outrageous.

The ticketing window today was a joke.

I'm just reading this out.

I hadn't checked this first.

No, it's fair comments, isn't it?

And as someone who has played and watched golf for too many years, to hear golf in the headlines for being a rip-off is sad but true.

Hopefully seeing Eddie in Ireland in September for the Irish Open will more than make up for it.

So a couple of points there.

Will Eddie be at the Irish Open in September?

Who knows?

But the pricing for the Ryder Cup, again, they know they can sell tickets.

So, you know, it's like tickets for Wimbledon or tickets for the Masters or tickets for an Oasis concert.

The Masters tickets aren't that expensive.

It's just really difficult to get them.
