Paige Spiranac, a well-known name in the world of golf, decided to comment on the recent reaction of individuals to rumors that the US Ryder Cup team will receive $400,000 each for their appearance at next year's Ryder Cup. This news caused real chaos in the golf scene.
Older golf fans, as well as younger ones, are not particularly satisfied with the latest rumors, considering that no monetary compensation should come into consideration when it comes to performing at the Ryder Cup. On the other hand, the European team will probably not be paid, and the question of what kind of reactions this will cause is lingering.
Spiranac reacted primarily to the comment of Hunter Mahan, a PGA Tour player, who pointed out that $400,000 is not a huge amount of money, and that the services of individuals should be paid for. The 42-year-old golfer has a completely different opinion than the others, considering that the majority reacted critically, sending various messages such as those that US team golfers do not need money at all. Looking at the kind of individuals they have on the team, such as the biggest stars this year, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele, fans expect the PGA of America not to implement such ideas.
Mahan bases his opinion on the fact that the amount they will earn is certainly used for the profit of others. Hunter expects that golf organizations will profit from everything, meaning that US golfers will do them a favor.
Paige Spiranac pointed out via social media that Mahan's statements were out of touch. A well-known golf instructor and influencer believes that 400k for a performance is a huge amount of money, which can change an individual's life. Paige thinks that kind of money is huge for the world of golf.
It seems that this 31-year-old is not particularly happy with the money stories that have been circulating since the arrival of LIV Golf on the scene. The arrival of Saudi money has changed many things. From year to year, various figures are mentioned, huge sums of money and gigantic contracts are talked about. Such a situation does not satisfy Spiranac, nor golf fans.
She, on the other hand, believes that the Ryder Cup is an event that really has a special character, greatly different from other events.
"This is out of touch," Spiranac wrote on social media.
"It is reported that each US player will receive 400k for participating. Thats life changing money for so many people.
For Hunter to say it doesnt have to be a lot when 400k is a lot just isnt a good look for golf in my opinion.
The last couple years in golf have been so focused around money but the Ryder Cup was the one event that was about so much more than the money."

The 31-year-old influencer is ready for any challenge, she wants to entertain her fans and increase her popularity. Spiranac, in addition to golf, is a person who is interested in many things. Her interests are much more than just golf and the golf course.
