This year, U.S. players will receive a $200,000 stipend and another $300,000 to donate to charity."That was utterly disgusting claiming this money bulls---, and Rory behaved disgustingly in my opinion," Schauffele continued. "Its only going to get worse. Its ruined my appetite for the Ryder Cup. It becomes unwatchable."McIlroy then had to be held back from LaCava in the parking lot after the round.The rivalry between the two teams is undoubtedly hotter than ever - but apparently, Mr. Schauffele has no interest.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X,and subscribe tothe Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
