Golf influencer shocked to see Uber prices at Ryder Cup

This ride would have put her in the hole.

Golf influencer Cailyn Henderson was taken aback by the staggering prices she faced when she tried to book an Uber from the Ryder Cup to her Times Square hotel on Friday night.

So the blonde beauty took to Instagram to share a screenshot of the app, which showed price tags ranging from a staggering $440 to $1,077.00.

“I looked at my friend and I’m like, ‘Are we joking?’ It was one of the wildest things ever,” Henderson, 25, shared with The Post from the event early Saturday.

Henderson and her friend, professional golfer Madison Pool, attempted to get an Uber at 6:30 p.m. but reconsidered when they saw the steep options for the 33-mile journey from Farmingdale, Long Island, to Midtown Manhattan.

“When we came [there] from Times Square, it was like $190 to $200. And that was during rush hour too. That’s why I was so shocked at the price. I’m like, ‘Who’s gonna pay this?’” she said.

She was also stunned to see the massive amount of spectators who were also trying to get a car home.

“I see probably 250 people waiting in line just to even get an Uber, so we were probably going to be there for two hours just waiting,” said Henderson, who has been playing golf since the age of 3.

When the pair actually requested a driver, the app didn’t even provide wait times.

“It was just loading, like it was never going to give us a time. And we had to get to this Sports Illustrated event that we were going to go to, and I’m like, ‘Oh gosh, we’re not going to make that,’” she said.

Luckily, her job as an influencer saved her $350 on a ride back to Manhattan.

She was working with DraftKings for the Ryder Cup, and managed to make it to a nearby home the company had rented, she said.

The duo then called an Uber from the house, which only cost $90.

Henderson, who also hails from Carmel, Indiana, said her Midwestern roots make it even harder to wrap her head around the over-the-top price tags in NYC.

“Being born and raised in the Midwest, I’m so not used to New York prices,” she said.

“If I’m in Indiana, I’m going to get an Uber for $18.”

To get to Saturday’s matches, Henderson and Pool wisened up — and saved a chunk of change.

“Today we actually took Lyft because we found out that it’s way cheaper than Uber,” she said.

“And it was half the price.”
