DLI offers a Ryder Cup-themed website landing page, DiscoverLongIsland.com/RyderCup, featuring detailed information about Bethpage State Park and the Ryder Cup, as well as curated guides to Long Island’s top restaurants, hotels, wineries, breweries, and cultural sites. Visitors can also utilize the DLI Ryder Cup app, no download necessary, providing real-time, geo-enabled recommendations, exclusive partner promotions, and rewards for users who engage with select local businesses. Through these DLI tools, visitors can explore tailored to diverse interests outside of golf - from family-friendly activities to relaxing escapes.
“Partnering with the PGA of America on The Ryder Cup has truly been a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Long Island,” said Discover Long Island Interim President & CEO, Mitch Pally. “As the proud host region, we’ve not only prepared to welcome one of the most celebrated tournaments in the world, but we’ve also strengthened connections across our communities, inspired local pride, and elevated Long Island’s profile as a premier international destination. The Ryder Cup will be an unforgettable moment in our region’s history, and its legacy will continue to benefit our businesses, residents, and visitors for years to come.”
