Just like during every edition, the Ryder Cup this year also causes various controversies and questions. The American team will enter this year's Ryder Cup with ambitions to celebrate, but it is clear that they will have a difficult task. The public in America is optimistic, hoping that the team has the potential to lift the trophy.
However, there is also a certain amount of dissatisfaction among the fans, as well as among the legends of this sport, who are frustrated mainly because the American player will receive a financial payment.
Before the start of the tournament, it was announced that the members of the American team will receive 500,000 dollars, of which 300,000 will be donated for humanitarian purposes.
Tom Watson finds things like this disappointing, stressing that American players should be focused on the prestige and honor of playing in the Ryder Cup, not the money.
Reactions of the US public
These messages come from ordinary fans, and not only from important figures in the golf scene. US fans feel that Europeans show more patriotism and desire to win than American players.
It is difficult to give a precise answer as to how much truth there is in this, but money can sometimes serve as a strong motive for players, regardless of where they perform.
Opinions will always be divided, but we are primarily looking forward to an exciting Ryder Cup, given that we have two strong teams that have great potential to celebrate.
Some believe that there are small differences in the quality of both teams when it comes to the annual edition, and we will find out in about eight days.
