Excitement is building as this year’s Ryder Cup at Marco Simone edges closer.

If you want to be there, you could win tickets to see the action up close, as well as the chance to enjoy a seven-night cruise which leaves from Barcelona and travels around the Mediterranean.

UK golfers can win the ultimate holiday in 2023 by playing the Golf Lottery, with tickets to the Ryder Cup alongside a seven-night European cruise.

Costa Cruise

Launched in 2022, the Golf Lottery is an initiative where players can support a diverse range of charities while competing for some amazing prizes.

Charity partners include the Alzheimer’s Society, Prostate Cancer UK and the Golf Foundation. In association with Costa Cruises, the Golf Lottery’s latest exclusive prize – with a RRP of €3,700 – will see the winner and their plus one enjoy a week-long cruise from Barcelona on Costa Smeralda this autumn.

Once in Rome, the lucky winner will receive two tickets to the first day of action as Europe – led by former world No.1 Luke Donald – look to win back the famous trophy they lost at Whistling Straits, Wisconsin, in 2021.

Transits to and from the ship for the Ryder Cup will be included before Costa Smeralda departs the Italian capital at 9pm. The ship will then visit Savona in the Italian region of Liguria, before stopping in Marseille prior to returning to Barcelona on Monday, October 2.

Costa Cruises is the Official Cruise Line of the Ryder Cup, with Costa Smeralda an LNG carrier and the company’s flagship carrier.
