Americans are getting paid to play the Ryder Cup. Now the pressure is on to win: Analysis

Associated Press  

Bringing the Ryder Cup to notoriously nasty Bethpage Black already was cause for concern. “I’ve been playing golf my whole life for free and the money’s just a bonus,” Scottie Scheffler said two weeks ago in the Bahamas. “When you can’t show up and play for your country, if playing for your country is not enough, my heart bleeds for the game of golf,” U.S. captain Ben Crenshaw said. After Europe won handily in Ireland, Garcia said, “Hopefully we won’t get asked if the Nationwide Tour is the second-best tour in the world anymore.” “Behind Europe,” Luke Donald added, the ultimate Ryder Cup rim shot. “If we lose this year after the Presidents Cup and losing the last two Ryder Cups — and after all that controversy over money — well, it’s going to be bad,” he said.
