On Wednesday, The Telegraph in London reported that members of Team USA at the Ryder Cup will be paid roughly $400,000, and that figure is likely to be ratified. That lines up with what Golfweek reported last month, which was players on the team are set to be paid for next year’s biennial bash at Bethpage Black in New York.

That would be $315,000 each, which certainly wouldn't change the lives of the 12 guys on Team Stars and Stripes, but which, on the other hand, would certainly change the history of the Ryder Cup.

Since the turn of the century, Team Europe has absolutely beaten the brakes off of Team USA in the Ryder Cup. The Europeans are 8-3 against the Americans

McGinley, looking at the names that have previously performed at the Ryder Cup, points out that many of the golfers earn enough money for them.

The PGA of America have arranged for each of the 12 members of the 2025 US Ryder Cup team to be paid for participating at Bethpage Black in 10 months' time, breaking from the tournament's tradition

Rory McIlroy and LIV Golf's Tyrrell Hatton have both shared their thoughts on the news that Team USA players will be paid to compete in the Ryder Cup from 2025 onwards

The PGA of America is mulling a decision to pay members of the U.S. Ryder Cup team when the biennial competition is next played from Sept. 26-28, 2025 at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale, New York, per the Telegraph.

Rory McIlroy says he “would pay to appear in the Ryder Cup” in response to news that the US team is set to receive almost £4 million collectively for next year’s match in New York.

Along with national pride, it appears members of the United States' 2025 Ryder Cup team will have another incentive when teeing off against their European counterparts at Bethpage Black in Farmingdale,
