Agreed. If they play well enough to make it on the Ryder Cup team then they are having a pretty decent year or two. Sometimes things are just better when they are for honor and bragging rights vs. getting paid. I think this is one of those.No. think the honor of playing for your country is compensation enough.
require volunteers to pay $350 to volunteer.
Can’t disagree with this, at least entirely. But the cost to put these events on must be pretty high.I look at it this way, if an organization is going to squeeze out every single cent out of us for tickets and corporations to advertise, I think they can play 10 million to the players. They require volunteers to pay $350 to volunteer.
Doesn’t bother me.

I can agree with you. Clearly the PGA of America can easily afford 400k for each of the players given the amount of money the event is generating.I look at it this way, if an organization is going to squeeze out every single cent out of us for tickets and corporations to advertise, I think they can play 10 million to the players.

You are right, it's chump change, and it makes me wonder why they chose that number and why the players see that as reasonable.I will be a Contrarian here. How much money is made for both sides during the event?? A massive amount that is how much.
So the Pros should just be happy to represent their country while everyone else is profiting off it?
Ryder Cup tickets are UNGODLY expensive. Where is all that money going? 400k per player is chump change in the grand scheme of things.

If I was on the team I couldn't care less about any of that. Just being on the team would be a singular honor, and representing my country even more so. Have we gone so far down the rabbit hole that the best players in the world, who aren't exactly starving, can't give up a few days of their time representing their country without being compensated?Then put it on commercial free instead of squeezing every last dollar out of someone elses names, image and likeness.
I would also add don't charge people a goddam Kidney for a ticket!Then put it on commercial free instead of squeezing every last dollar out of someone elses names, image and likeness.
