Confirmed Team USA Ryder Cup competitors: Leading six players secure spots for match-up at Bethpage Black
The 45th edition of the Ryder Cup, set to take place at Bethpage Black in New York from September 23-28, 2025, is rapidly approaching, and anticipation is building. U.S. Ryder Cup Captain Keegan Bradley has announced the first six picks for Team USA, joining the six automatic qualifiers that will form the 12-man squad.
History heavily favours the home team at the Ryder Cup, and this year is no exception. With a passionate New York crowd, the U.S. enters as favourites. The home advantage is further strengthened by the talented lineup of players that Captain Bradley has assembled.
Among the likely picks, Sam Burns, Patrick Cantlay, Ben Griffin, Collin Morikawa, Justin Thomas, and Cameron Young have been officially confirmed as the captain's selections. These six players were announced by Captain Bradley on August 27, 2025.
Sam Burns, one of the picks, returns to the Ryder Cup after debuting in 2023. Known for his putting skill, Burns ranked first on the PGA Tour in strokes gained: putting during the 2025 season.
The quartet of Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Harris English, and Bryson DeChambeau bring significant experience to the team. They were confirmed as the first automatic qualifiers for Team USA earlier.
The question of whether Captain Bradley will serve as a Playing Captain is still dominating conversations. The decision will be closely watched by fans, media, and pundits alike. The remaining six selections for Team Europe will be revealed on September 1.
The Ryder Cup is as much about leadership as it is about skill. Captains manage egos, media scrutiny, and the relentless pressure of international competition. In this regard, Captain Bradley made a notable decision not to include himself as a playing captain, choosing instead to select players he deemed the best combination of veterans and rookies for the team.
Speculation is mounting over Keegan Bradley's choices for the remaining six Captain's Picks. With just 36 days to tee off, the countdown to the Ryder Cup is on, and the excitement is palpable.
