The first half of the U.S. Ryder Cup team is now officially set.
The qualification period for the United States’ Ryder Cup team ended on Sunday afternoon following Scottie Scheffler’s historic win at the BMW Championship. Scheffler — who has now won five times on the PGA Tour this season — more than doubled up the rest of the Americans in the points race to qualify for Bethpage Black.

Scheffler racked up 37,181 points in the qualification race to lead the way. He actually locked up his spot weeks ago, so his presence at Bethpage Black next month was never in doubt.
J.J. Spaun, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau were the other five Americans who qualified for the team. Keegan Bradley — who actually finished 11th in the standings — will make his six captain’s picks after the Tour Championship to round out the 12-man team.

Bryson DeChambeau is the only LIV Golf member to make the team. He hasn’t been able to earn points since the British Open, however, as LIV Golf events do not qualify. He had been promised a place on the team regardless of whether or not he held onto the sixth and final automatic spot, so that ended up being a non-issue.

Bradley put himself into the mix for the Ryder Cup amid one of the best seasons of his career. He finished T17th on Sunday at the BMW Championship and will advance to the Tour Championship next week in Atlanta. He’s had five top 10 finishes on Tour this season and won the Travelers Championship, which briefly moved him to his career-high of No. 7 in the Official World Golf Rankings.
But in order for Bradley to make it onto the team, he’d have to select himself. There hasn’t been a playing captain since Arnold Palmer did so in 1963.
But plenty, including Rory McIlroy, don’t think that being a playing captain is even possible anymore. Bradley said before the BMW Championship that he still wasn’t sure what he was going to do. Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Ben Griffin, Maverick McNealy and Brian Harman round out the top 12.
“I certainly have a lot of concerns, as well as everybody else, but I have the most incredible vice captains, including Jim Furyk, who’s been on these teams and been captain a bunch of times. Quite frankly, I’ve been leaning on them more than any other captain ever anyways, even if I’m not playing,” Bradley said.
“We’re ready for this if it happens. I’m not sure it’s going to. I can truly sit here right now and say I don’t know what’s going to happen. I have to look at myself just like any other player trying to make the team. I’m 10th in points right now, and that’s not sixth.”

The European Ryder Cup team qualification period will end next Sunday following the Betfred British Masters. It’s set up the same way, where the top six will automatically qualify and then captain Luke Donald will make his six captain’s picks later. McIlroy, Justin Rose and Tommy Fleetwood have already secured their spots.

Rahm clinches LIV Golf title in bizarre circumstances – as Poulter avoids relegation
Jon Rahm claimed his second successive LIV Golf individual championship despite losing in a playoff in the Indianapolis event, having earlier shot a career-best 60, and not winning a tournament all year.The Spaniard pipped Joaquin Niemann, who finished the week tied fourth, for the season-long title for the second successive year despite the Chilean player having won five times on the Saudi-backed tour in 2025.

O Siniakové v mixu na US Open je rozhodnuto. Turnaj pro vyvolené provází chaos
Organizátoři US Open se rozhodli pro radikální změnu. Klasický mix nahradí dvoudenní klání, které se uskuteční již během úterý a středy, tedy ještě několik dnů před startem samotného grandslamu. Hrát se budou zkrácené zápasy na dva vítězné sety do čtyř vítězných gamů bez výhod. Na klasických šest gamů, ale také bez výhod, se bude hrát jen finále.Změna formátu, jež šampionům garantuje milion dolarů, měla přilákat ty největší singlové hvězdy. Klíčovým ukazatelem pro přihlášení bylo pořadí v žebříčku dvouhry.„Takže vyhrát dva tituly na grandslamech v jednom roce nestačí k pozvání na tenhle ´exhibiční´ turnaj na US Open,“ reagoval na síti X dvojnásobný grandslamový šampion v mixu Jan Zieliński, jehož jméno v nabité soupisce chybí. „Díky, že jste nám sebrali možnost hrát a zajistili spravedlnost pro všechny,“ dodal Polák ironicky. Coby deblový specialista, který má ve dvouhře minimum bodů, si musí na účast v novém formátu mixu nechat zajít chuť.Ani […]
