Tiger Woods count ons American carry outers should all be phelp millions to carry out in the Ryder Cup, providing those funds are donated to charity.
The PGA of America is shut to concuring a landlabel scenario which will see the US Ryder Cup team phelp around $400,000 each to get on Europe next September.

Europe’s Ryder Cup contingent evolves to protect they should not get a cut of event revenue.
Woods, speaking in uncover for the first time since the Open Championship in July, has no gripe with the arrange; but on one condition. “We had the same conversation back in 1999,” shelp the 15-time presentant triumphner. “We didn’t want to get phelp, we wanted to donate more money to charity. The media turned it around aachievest us and shelp we wanted to get phelp. No, the Ryder Cup itself creates so much money, why can’t we spread it to various charities? And what’s wrong with each carry outer, 12 carry outers getting $1m and the ability to divvy out to amazing charities that they’re graspd in that they can help out? It’s their hometowns, where they’re from, all the contrastent lesser golf associations or endeavours that the members are graspd in.
“It’s never reassociate been about getting phelp, it’s [about] how can we spread funds to help our sport or help skinnygs that we count on in back home, becaengage it’s so challenging to get on to that team, there’s only 12 guys. What’s wrong with being able to spread more funds?
“I hope they would get $5m each and donate it all to charity, contrastent charities. I skinnyk that is fantastic. What’s wrong with that?”
Woods, who has carry outed in eight Ryder Cups, is foreseeed to captain the US for the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor. He could have key graspment at Bethpage, with that situation muddied by the appreciatelihood of Keegan Bradley, the current captain, qualifying for his own team. Woods shrugged off the contrasting payment approaches of the US and Europe.
“That’s their right to say that,” shelp Woods of the Europeans. “I understand when it’s on European soil it subsidises most of their Tour.”
Woods is back in the Bahamas in his role as tournament present for the Hero World Challenge. His coalition with the tournament has now been prolonged until 2030. Back sencouragery in September unbenevolents Woods will not create part of the 20-man field. The 48-year-elderly does, however, hope to return in competitive create in 2025.
“This year, I had to toss it away,” Woods shelp. “I wasn’t as acute as I necessitateed to be and I didn’t carry out as much as I necessitateed to going into the presentant championships and I didn’t carry out well at them. Hopefilledy next year will be better, I’ll be physicassociate mightyer and better.”
