As Golfweek reported last month, players on the United States Ryder Cup team are set to be paid for next year’s biennial bash at Bethpage Black in New York. The Telegraph in London reported Wednesday the Americans will be paid roughly $400,000 per player, and that figure is likely to be ratified.

Talks of Americans getting paid for the Ryder Cup have been brewing for decades. In 1999 at Brookline, Massachusetts (one of the most famous Ryder Cup weekends in the event’s history), golfers including Tiger Woods voiced their opinions on players not being paid despite the event raking in several million dollars.
