Starting in 2025 at Bethpage Black, members of the United States Ryder Cup team will be paid to play. The PGA of America announced Monday morning that it will provide a “stipend” for players, in addition to increasing the amount it designates for each player’s charitable donations.
The PGA of America will increase the amount of charitable donation per player from $200,000 to $300,000, and will also provide a $200,000 stipend for the players involved. The PGA noted that the charitable donation figure was “unchanged since 1999” and specifically indicated that “no player asked to be paid.”
The 2025 Ryder Cup will be held at Bethpage Black in New York. Europe currently holds the Cup after a victory last fall in Italy.
