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 wouldnt 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
