And is this amount added to their career total.
Also, are the Ryder Cup team winners automatically invited to some PGA tournaments like the Sony Open in Hawaii?

The US players are not paid for participating in the Ryder Cup. The PGA of America covers their expenses (hotel, travel, food etc.) and donates money to the charity of each golfer's choice. But they receive no money for playing. I do not know the arrangements of the European team.
Since the Ryder Cup team consists of the top players and money winners, they would all automatically be invited to every tour event and wouldn't need a special exemption.

There is no prize money on offer to the winners of the Ryder Cup...it is simply the honour of winning that is the motivation.

The US team get exactly what they are worth Absolutely Nothing. The PGA tour and European golf tour get filthy rich even after paying all player reasonable expenses.

$0 - there is no prize money for the Ryder Cup, explaining the lack of motivation that the American team displays.
