In the wake of a report that the PGA of America is considering paying U.S. players to compete in the Ryder Cup, a group of past U.S. Ryder Cup captains has sent a letter to the organization lobbying against the plan.
Sports Illustrated has learned that 12 former captains of the U.S. team sent and signed the letter recently after the Telegraph reported last month that a plan is in the works to pay each player $400,000.
