Woods says US Ryder Cup team should be paid if funds are donated to charity

Deal close to pay each US player $400k for 2025 event
‘What’s wrong with divvying it out to amazing charities?’

Tiger Woods believes American players should all be paid millions to play in the Ryder Cup, providing those funds are donated to charity.

The PGA of America is close to agreeing a landmark scenario in which the US Ryder Cup team will be paid about $400,000 each to take on Europe in September. The move is a break from tradition and highly controversial, especially since tickets for Bethpage will cost $750 each. Europe’s Ryder Cup contingent continues to maintain they should not take a cut of event revenue.
