According to Schauffele, the PGA of America’s announcement came earlier than was originally planned, with the thought that it would be revealed closer to the matches when the players would collectively take the stipends and donate them as well. Schauffele believes that will continue to be the case.

Americans getting paid to play the Ryder Cup has become one of golf’s most hot-button topics.  Xander Schauffele has weighed in, saying he won't pocket anything

KAPALUA, Hawaii — Americans are getting paid to play in the Ryder Cup for the first time, and Xander Schauffele said Tuesday the plan is for them not to get a dime. “I just see it as a whole lot of money going to charity and we’re going to take a lot of crap,” Schauffele said.

Xander Schauffele said Americans are planning to give all the money they make for playing in the Ryder Cup to charity and any notion otherwise is untrue.

The matches are Sept. 26-28 at Bethpage Black in New York, a public course with a reputation of having some of the rowdiest fans.

Xander Schauffele says the US players at the Ryder Cup will donate the money they receive for playing at the event to charity.

Xander Schauffele is unhappy that USA players are going to "take a lot of c**p" for getting Ryder Cup payments when they're giving it all to charity
