And is this amount added to their career total.
Also, are the Ryder Cup team winners automatically invited to some PGA tournaments like the Sony Open in Hawaii?

The US players are not paid for participating in the Ryder Cup. The PGA of America covers their expenses (hotel, travel, food etc.) and donates money to the charity of each golfer’s choice. But they receive no money for playing. I do not know the arrangements of the European team.
Since the Ryder Cup team consists of the top players and money winners, they would all automatically be invited to every tour event and wouldn’t need a special exemption.
