Overview

• Reed, a three-time Ryder Cup player left off this year’s U.S. team, said events like the Ryder Cup are about representing country and not money, likening it to the Olympics.
• He urged that any funds tied to the event be routed entirely to charity rather than paying players.
• The PGA of America will provide $500,000 to each U.S. player and captain Keegan Bradley, including a mandated $300,000 charitable donation and a $200,000 stipend.
• Europe’s camp remains opposed to payment, with captain Luke Donald calling the Ryder Cup the purest form of the sport.
• Reed also pressed for LIV Golf results to count toward qualification, arguing for a unified system so players from all tours are considered fairly.
