Is there Ryder Cup prize money in 2023?
No. The Ryder Cup does not offer any prize money to players or teams, regardless of whether they win or lose.
It's a truly remarkable thing in 2023 for a global event such as the Ryder Cup to attract the finest talent without the lure of a mega-bucks pay day.
Instead, all 24 players across Team Europe and Team USA will fight for sporting immortality, glory and pride, with no direct financial reward.
Of course, players will be hosted in luxury throughout the tournament and a triumphant performance could lead to exorbitant sponsorship deals. However, during the Ryder Cup, players wear team uniforms as opposed to their own personal sponsors' gear, creating a unique spectacle for fans tuning in and attending on the day.
