Luke Donald has aimed another shot at Team USA over their decision to be paid at the Ryder Cup 2025 by emphasising how Team Europe are “fuelled by something money cannot buy”.

The United States players will be compensated for the first time ever in the biennial contest at Bethpage Black in New York, with the American players paid $500,000 each, of which $300,000 would be donated to charity and a $200,000 stipend for each player to use as they please.

After Europe’s players snubbed the chance to be paid too, Donald opted to take a swipe at their rivals during the opening ceremony.

“The Ryder Cup means so much to each and everyone of us,” said European captain Donald in his speech at Wednesday’s opening ceremony. “It is unlike anything else in our sport. It is not about prize money or ranking points, it’s about pride, representing your flag your shirts and the legacy you legacy you leave behind.”
