Ryder Cup Millionaires Ranking: How Much Players from Both Teams Earn.

According to The Sun: This year, the biggest stars of world golf gathered at the Ryder Cup, many of whom are notable earners in this sport.

The total value of the Europe and USA teams exceeds an impressive $1 billion.

This year, the Americans will host the tournament at the extremely challenging Bethpage Black course in New York, trying to avenge their loss from 2023.

Players from the American team earn $500,000 (£370,000) per game, but judging by their earnings data, financial support might not be needed.
