How much do the player's on the American Ryder's Cup team receive?

Answer 1

There was a whole controversy about whether the American players should be paid, because the PGA of America walked off with about $17 million from the players. The Americans players, who have never been paid in the past, although indirectly being a Ryder Cup team member makes you a lot of money [get invited to other tournaments, get fame and endorsement deals, etc.], some of them, including David Duvall and Tiger Woods, were saying they should be paid, and they both said, Duvall and Woods, that it was an exhibition. Both of them said after the 1999 Ryder Cup, you know, "we changed our mind; this is the greatest event in golf," which is what happens to everyone once they play in the Ryder Cup, which will be held again soon, from Sept. 22-24, at The K Club in Straffan, County Kildare, England.

Answer 2

They only get money for expenses
