The question of whether multi-millionaire players should be paid for appearing in the Ryder Cup popped up again in Rome this weekend, more than 20 years after U.S. officials thought they had put it to bed by introducing a charity donation policy.
A media report suggested that American Patrick Cantlay had declined to wear his team-issue cap in protest at the players not being paid. He denied it totally, saying the decision was merely because he could not find a cap that was comfortable.
"It's the purest form of competition we have and I think because of that the fans love it. There's no extrinsic motivation involved. It's purely, purely sport." "I would say if there's anything that deals with money, there are guys that would pay to play in this. So I think that is extremely inaccurate and arguably irresponsible."
Duval even talked about a potential boycott but the players quickly made it clear that their main objection was not that they were not getting a slice, but that they had no say in where the profits went.
