Colin Montgomerie has recently expressed his viewpoint regarding the system of paying golfers from the USA to play in the Ryder Cup. The 61-year-old professional golfer is widely regarded as a Ryder Cup legend due to his records in the tournament.
Montgomerie happens to be the latest big name to speak out on this issue. According to PGA of America, 12 team members under captain Keegan Bradley will receive $500,000 for creating the team for 2025. Although $300,000 is reportedly kept for charity, players will have the remaining amount of money as their stipend. This move has garnered criticism from popular names including the OBE. As reported by SportsBoom.com, Montgomerie said:
"What we’re talking about is the evil word, money. It can destroy a lot of things. And I think that golf has been has been part of that, and we are now talking about one team getting paid to play in the Ryder Cup.
