Players To Be Paid For Ryder Cup Participation

[Simon Barrington]

Geoff Shackelford's words in reviewing the European Ryder Cup Team's "Una Famiglia" Film:

"One where the chasm grows between how each side values the Ryder Cup.
[/color]The Europeans continue to make clear that it’s the ultimate privilege and thrill. The Americans increasingly treat the Ryder Cup as an obligation."

I don't care whether they get paid or not.
In fact, I don't care if they even play.


If they are going to be paid, I think they should be able to decline the invitation without being criticized.
