U.S. Ryder Cup players will be paid to play in the biennial match play competition for the first time starting with next year¡¯s edition at Bethpage Black in New York.
The PGA of America said in a statement on Monday that U.S. team members will each get $500,000, with $300,000 of that going to charity and the remaining $200,000 serving as a stipend.
The pay is an increase from the $200,000 that was designated only for charity and had been in place since 1999.
