Financial technology company Stripe has signed an agreement with the Ryder Cup to provide payment services for sales including online ticketing, on-site food and beverage, and merchandise.<\/p>\n
The agreement will see Stripe becoming a partner to both the 2027 match at Adare Manor in Limerick, and the 2029 match at Hazeltine National Golf Club in Minnesota in the US.<\/p>\n
Stripe was founded by Irish brothers Patrick and John Collison and is dual-headquartered in Dublin and San Francisco.<\/p>\n
“An event like the Ryder Cup – hundreds of thousands of fans with payments running across ticketing, food and beverage, and merchandise – is exactly the kind of scale Stripe operates at everyday,” said Conor McNamara, Chief Revenue Officer, EMEA at Stripe.<\/p>\n
“We’re proud to become a Worldwide Partner and to power the full fan journey, from buying tickets at home, to spending at the golf course,” Mr McNamara said.<\/p>\n
Guy Kinnings, chief executive at the European Tour group, said the ticketing, merchandise and catering operations are significant at the Ryder Cup, with over 70,000-square-feet of merchandise space alone at the 2025 match in New York.<\/p>\n
“Stripe’s technology platforms will help us to deliver a cashless experience in Ireland with increased speed and convenience for our fans around the world,” Mr Kinnings said.<\/p>\n
Terry Clark, chief executive at the PGA of America, said they are proud to welcome Stripe as a Worldwide Partner.<\/p>\n
“By leveraging Stripe’s advanced payment solutions, we are excited to offer spectators at the 47th Ryder Cup at Hazeltine a seamless payment experience at every touchpoint,” Mr Clark said.<\/p>\n
It was reported last week that Stripe and private equity firm Advent International have made a joint offer \u200cto acquire PayPal, in a deal that would value the payments company at more than $53 billion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Financial technology company Stripe has signed an agreement with the Ryder Cup to provide payment services for sales…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":562429,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[61,60,112],"class_list":["post-562428","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-ie","tag-ireland","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562428","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=562428"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/562428\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/562429"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=562428"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=562428"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=562428"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
