They can enjoy free food and drinks during their visit.

However, in reality, they have already paid for it.

The tickets for the Ryder Cup cost an impressive $750 (£555).

Thus, the PGA of America is often criticized for the high prices, as the entrance fee includes unlimited access to food on-site.

Each fan is allowed to take one hot or cold dish – such as burgers, hot dogs or chicken sandwiches, as well as a snack like chips or cookies and a non-alcoholic beverage per visit at the stands.

Alcohol is not included.

Fans must pay for beer, wine and spirits.

A 16oz (473ml) Michelob Ultra beer costs $15 (£11.10) – the same price for Bud Light, while premium beer costs $16 (£11.84).
