Ryder Cup: Snubs| Picks 2021| 2021 USA Team| 2022| Format
Snubs:
After much deliberation over the past several months, Steve Stricker released his captain’s picks for the Ryder Cup during a press conference on Wednesday at Whistling Straits. His six picks of Daniel Berger, Harris English, Jordan Spieth, Tony Finau, Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele round out the team that will represent the U.S. in Wisconsin later this month.
Those six will join Dustin Johnson, Bryson DeChambeau, Collin Morikawa, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka on Team USA, as the Americans look to win back the Ryder Cup after a 17.5-10.5 beatdown at the hands of the Europeans three years ago.
Picks 2021:
The U.S. Ryder Cup team is complete. Six automatic qualifiers have now been joined by six Captain’s Picks, as Captain Steve Stricker revealed the remaining members of his team Wednesday.
Collin Morikawa,
Dustin Johnson,
Bryson DeChambeau,
Brooks Koepka,
Justin Thomas and Patrick Cantlay automatically qualified following the PGA Tour’s BMW Championship. Daniel Berger, Harris English, Tony Finau, Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth will now join them for the matches September 24-26 at Whistling Straits in Haven, Wisconsin.
2021 USA Team:
The 43rd edition of the event will take place at Whistling Straits from September 24, live on Sky Sports, as Team USA look to reclaim the trophy they lost at Le Golf National in 2018.
The team features six automatic qualifiers based on the USA’s points list after the BMW Championship, and six captain’s picks made by Steve Stricker. With no Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson, and six debutants, there is a lack of experience, but that is countered by having most of the world’s top-ranked players in the team.
2022:
The 2022 Ryder Cup at Marco Simone Golf and Country Club, in Italy, will take place from September 30 – October 2, 2022.
It will be the first time The Ryder Cup has been played in Italy, with the country following England, Scotland, Spain, Ireland, Wales and France as European nations to host the biennial contest between Europe and the United States.
