For the first time in the history of the incident, members of the United States Rider Cup as Farmingdale, NY – are to be compensated for the first time, World No. 1 Scotty chefler And many of his colleagues said that they are planning to donate their entire stipend to donations.
Sheffler said on Tuesday, “I have never been one to declare what we do. I don’t like to give charitable dollars for any kind of recognition.” “We have some plans for the money we will receive. I think it’s really a good thing that the PGA of America has empowered us to do it.”
US captain Kegan bradley On Monday, the PGA approached the players with the idea of compensation last year and asked them to help them come up with the best approach. In November, the US PGA voted to spend 12 players and Bradley to donate a charity of $ $ 300,000 and $ 200,000 to donate a charity of their choice, as they wanted.
While Bradley said that he did not criticize the criticism of the players, the captain of Europe Luke Donald Many times, European players rejected the idea of paying to participate in the event.
Donald said in an interview with Sky Sports on Monday, “Each of them was,” not a week to pay, “Donald said in an interview with Sky Sports on Monday. “We have such a strong purpose in this team and what we play.”
Two -time prominent winners Xander Schaffele He said that he planned to donate to his stipend and dropped the chatter around the money.
“You guys keep talking about it and are trying to talk to it negatively. It everyone sees it,” Shofel said on Tuesday. “It is very proud that comes in playing in one of these, and yes, we are happy to pay for it, and yes, I am planning to donate it. This is something that will make me feel good selfishly what I do.”
In December, Shoffel told the Associated Press that despite the new structure, the players planned not to receive a single penny.
“I am just looking at it as a lot of money, which is going into charity, and we are going to do a lot of nonsense,” Shofel told AP.
Compensation for the Rider Cup has been a matter of great debate, going back to the 2023 program in Rome. Patrick Cantley His role in paying the US PGA on Tuesday was asked on Tuesday, but he was adamant that he was not involved.
“I was not part of that decision making process. I don’t think there were any members of the team,” Cantley said. “I can only speak for my plans.”
Cantley said that he is planning to donate all his stipends to a specific set of donations which are meaningful for him.
On the subject of the 2023 report that he did not wear a hat in Rome because compensation is not being given, the cantley wearing a USA cap smiled and said, as he said, as he said, “A million times,” the cap did not fit in 2023 and this year he received a one who is fit.
“This phenomenon is very good in creating a lot of noise and is not going to help us put points on the board,” Cantley said. “I think we need to focus our 100% focus on playing the best golf and let the noise recover, just noise.”
