Americans will also get $300,000 to give to charityDebate over pay for tournament has been hot topic
Players for the US team will be paid to play in the Ryder Cup for the first time under a new PGA of America program announced on Monday that gives them a $200,000 stipend and $300,000 for them to distribute to charity.
The $500,000 directed to each of the 12 players and the captain is an increase from the $200,000 – strictly for charity – that began when the pay-for-play issue first arose in 1999 before the tournament at Brookline.
