After weeks of silence in the aftermath of a report that U.S. Ryder Cup players would be paid for their participation, the PGA of America on Monday announced a compensation plan that will see 60% of a payment directed to charity with the remainder being described as a stipend.
Each member of the U.S. team will get $500,000, with $300,000 earmarked for charity, the organization announced in a statement. The players will get the remaining $200,0000 as a stipend.
