The PGA of America will pay players from the United States Ryder Cup team for the first time in competition history this year. Each player will receive $300,000 to donate to charity along with a $200,000 personal stipend, but a number of players (and captain Keegan Bradley) said this week their plan is to donate the full $500,000.
