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.

The PGA of America is reportedly planning for members of the 2025 U.S. Ryder Cup team to be paid $400,000 to tee it up at Bethpage Black. Rory McIlroy, the stalwart of the European Ryder Cup team, believes that transaction should be the other way around.

Outside of his golf career, McIlroy has made headlines this year for his up-and-down relationship with his wife, Erica Stoll. The athlete filed for divorce from Stoll, 37, after seven years of marriage in May but dismissed the filing one month later.
