Cue discussions over money. All 12 American golfers and captain Keegan Bradley will be paid £370,000 ($500,000), with £222,000 ($300,000) of that having to go to charity. Team Europe will not be paid, after Donald raised the issue with his players and was unanimously told they had no desire to follow suit. “I would pay for the privilege to play in the Ryder Cup,” McIlroy said.
