Default Who will be on the US Ryder Cup Team???

The US will announce the Ryder Cup Team tomorrow.

Six players are automatically on the team based on points.

They are, in order of points:

Scottie Scheffler
Wyndham Clark
Brian Harman
Patrick Cantlay
Max Homa
Xander Schauffele

The Ryder Cup captain has to choose the remaining six members.

The next ten, in order of points are:

Brooks Koepka
Jordan Spieth
Cameron Young
Collin Morikawa
Keegan Bradley
Sam Burns
Rickie Fowler
Denny McCarthy
Justin Thomas
Lucas Glover

Who do you predict will be on the team?
The question is who will be on the team - not who you want to be on the team.

Let's see who knows golf!

If I was the captain it would be Koepka, Thomas, Young, and Morikawa as no brainers. After that probably Spieth and either DeChembeau or Bradley. Just my opinion on the most competitive team? I have no problem including LIV players. Who knows what the real captain is thinking?

I’m surprised that so many have picked Thomas. He’s one of my favorite players too, but this year he’s done nothing, didn’t even make the playoffs

JT should not have made the team, Lucas Glover or Keegan Bradley should've made the team, but there are humans involved, and humans always ph* it up.

The other picks are fine. .

Its an exhibition in reality, so as much as its all hyped, its the same as a soccer friendly or all star game. .

Burns and Scheffler are best friends and Tiger and Thomas are very close. And Thomas played in Zach’s charity tournament in late July!

It would be nice if they picked the team on merit rather than friendship.

It must be frustrating for someone like Bradley or Glover to have had a great year and then be passed over because of connections.

Fowler, Spieth & JT are the leaders of the "In Clique" on the PGA Tour ... just like high school. You pick one, you get them all. Unfortunately, none of them have been very productive this year and I suspect their presence might be disruptive to the team. Sheffler is on the periphery of the group, so he'll be ok with them around.

Selecting Ricky, JT & Spieth, instead of Finau, Glover or Bradley, is simply protecting the status quo of friendships on the Tour in my opinion.

Personally, I think Zach just gave up control of his team, the inmates will be running the asylum and Zach will get all the blame if they get routed.

JT is part of the good ole boys' club.

After reading Keegan's statement about not being picked he made it crystal clear this was about him not being in the club and not about his performance.

PGAT is really on a losing streak with your average fan.
