Scottie Scheffler, US Ryder Cup Team to Channel Payments Toward Charitable Causes

Posted : 24 September 2025

World number one Scottie Scheffler has confirmed that he and his fellow American Ryder Cup teammates will use their participation payments to support charitable initiatives. Each of the 12 US players, along with captain Keegan Bradley, will receive $500,000 (£370,000) for competing, with $300,000 (£220,000) already earmarked for charity. The players will decide individually how to use the remaining $200,000.

 

Since 1999, American Ryder Cup players have received $200,000 for charitable donations, while European players do not receive payments for participating. Bradley explained that the increase was intended to modernize the arrangement, noting that the unchanged contribution since 1999 needed to be updated. He also confirmed that he would personally donate the full amount.

 

Scheffler, speaking ahead of the tournament, stressed that he and his wife plan to channel their share into their local community in Dallas but declined to give specifics. "I’ve never been one to announce what we do," said the four-time major winner. "I think it’s great that the PGA of America has empowered us to make an impact, and I’m excited to do good in our community."

 

Patrick Cantlay, who previously sparked controversy at the 2023 Ryder Cup in Rome when he did not wear a team cap, also confirmed he would be donating his payment, highlighting his work with foundations in Southern California. He dismissed past reports of a protest over player compensation, saying the cap issue was exaggerated and has since been resolved.

 

Xander Schauffele echoed these sentiments, adding that donating the funds would not only benefit local communities but also give players a personal sense of fulfillment.

 

The decision to enhance the payment structure, Bradley said, mirrors arrangements already in place at the Presidents Cup, where players similarly contribute to charitable efforts. "The players are going to do a lot of good with this money," Bradley affirmed.
