Golf revolves around money this year, the Ryder Cup is not immune

The PGA of America’s chief executive believes everyone is sick of talking about money.

But it surfaced again Saturday with an unsubstantiated report from Sky Sports — the broadcast partner for the European tour at Marco Simone — that singled out Patrick Cantlay as causing a rift among the Americans because he thinks they should be paid.

The report also claimed Cantlay was not wearing a hat out of protest. Cantlay also did not wear a cap at the Ryder Cup at Whistling Straits. Rory McIlroy rarely wears a hat in the Ryder Cup but did this week, primarily because of the hot sun. The difference is the PGA Tour has no involvement in the Ryder Cup except that American players are PGA Tour members .

Duval hinted at the potential of a boycott someday and suggested taking “some of that big Ryder Cup pot and cut it up and give it away to charity," similar to the Presidents Cup. That was resolved when the PGA of America agreed each player would get $200,000 to distribute to the charity of his choice, with half of it toward a college golf program.
