This is doable. I entered the drawing in 2007 and received tickets for the 2008 Ryder Cup at Valhalla in Louisville. Good luck!

I received an e-mail from info@pgaonline.com with the subject "Your Standing in the Official 2012 Ryder Cup Random Ticket Drawing," but there is no message in the body of the e-mail. Even if a person isn't one of the lucky ones, doesn't the organization send out a message saying as much, rather than leaving it blank? Thanks!
Bev: I'm stumped. I don't know what to tell you. I didn't enter the drawing so I don't what the PGA does in terms of notification one way or the other. But a blank email message definitely sounds like a glitch to me.
