Patrick Cantlay has reportedly split Team USA into two halves with his call for players getting paid for participating in the Ryder Cup.

According to Sky Sports Golf reporter Jamie Weir, Team USA's locker room is "fractured." He said that Patrick Cantlay has refused to wear the team cap due to his disappointment over not being paid to participate in the Ryder Cup.

Meanwhile, Golf Digest's Dan Rapaport has denied all claims of a "fracture" in the Team USA locker room. He shared on X that they are united despite a disastrous show at the ongoing 2023 Ryder Cup.

He added that Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele are also on the same side as the other Team USA players. He said that Cantlay also did not wear the hat at the previous edition of the prestigious biennial event at Whistling Straits.

Rapaport added that each and every player wanted to be paid more and if Cantlay had a problem being underpaid, he would not be there at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome.

Cantlay has lost both the foursome matches at the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Rome. He will next be seen teaming up with Wyndham Clark against Rory McIlroy and Matt Fitzpatrick in the final fourball match on Saturday.
