The captain of the European teams, Luke Donald, will have a great responsibility to repeat the success identical to the one in Rome. His team will play away from home in September of this year, and it seems that they have never been so motivated to achieve success.

In a media interview, Donald decided to speak openly about the problems of today's golf, especially disappointed with the money talk. The arrival of LIV Golf has changed many things on the golf scene, and the biggest change is certainly the appearance of huge money in this sport.
The final straw was the decision of the PGA of America leaders to financially reward the US Ryder Cup team for their participation in this competition.
I do feel the game is going that way and captain stuff aside, thats just a bit of a shame, he says, as reported by Telegraph.
It should never be just about money. We know theres much better ways to motivate people than that and thats certainly what we are concentrating on.
US golfers will earn $500,000, of which $300,000 will go to charity, while $200,000 will go to golfers who will have the right to do whatever they want with that money. Although the US golfers justify themselves, emphasizing that a large part of the money goes to charity, Donald puts the accent on $200,000, feeling it's a huge financial injection.

I saw that Xander said last week that he was going to donate all the money to charity and its great if charities are benefitting, Donald says.
But yeah, I dont know, its strange, the wording, I suppose 300 [to charity] and then 200 as a stipend. Thats up to the players to decide what they do with that other 200. Again, thats not really our concern.
It must be admitted that this chaos in the world of golf brings the most benefits to golfers, but things seem to be getting worse and worse.
