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.

For the first time in the near 100-year history of the Ryder Cup, members of the U.S. team will be compensated for playing.

America’s Ryder Cup players look set to be paid for the first time in a break from a near 100-year tradition with Team USA in line to receive almost £4 million collectively for next year’s showdown in New York.

Team USA's Ryder Cup squad has not even stepped on the course at Bethpage Black in New York yet and are already causing a stir in the golf world, as they're reportedly set to break from tradition.
