Here’s the Full Team USA Ryder Cup Roster for 2025
Team USA is locked in for Bethpage Black, with six automatic qualifiers and six captain’s picks chosen by Keegan Bradley.
Here’s a breakdown of all 12 players on the roster, what they bring to the table, and why fans should be excited.
Automatic Qualifiers:
Scottie Scheffler
The World No. 1 leads the team with unmatched consistency. Scheffler has been the most dominant ball-striker on Tour, ranking near the top in strokes gained tee-to-green, and his calm presence makes him the backbone of Team USA.
J.J. Spaun
A surprise qualifier who earned his spot with steady play and clutch performances late in the season. Spaun may not be the flashiest name, but his ability to grind out solid rounds could make him a sneaky asset in match play.
Xander Schauffele
Already a proven Ryder Cup contributor, Schauffele combines consistency with a cool temperament under pressure. He’s one of the best all-around players on the team and often thrives in high-stakes environments.
Russell Henley
Known for his reliable ball-striking and precision with the irons, Henley brings a steady hand to the team. He may not have the biggest length off the tee, but his accuracy and composure make him an ideal fit for foursomes.
Harris English
English is the quiet competitor who always seems to deliver when it matters most. With a smooth putting stroke and plenty of experience, he brings locker-room steadiness and on-course reliability.
Bryson DeChambeau
The power player of the squad, Bryson will intimidate opponents with his length and creativity. His analytical approach to the game paired with raw power makes him a unique weapon in both four-ball and singles play.
Captain’s Picks:
Justin Thomas
One of Keegan Bradley’s captain’s picks, Thomas is known for his fiery competitiveness and past Ryder Cup heroics. Even with inconsistent form, his match-play record and leadership make him a vital piece of Team USA.
Collin Morikawa
A two-time major champion, Morikawa is renowned for his precise iron play and ability to stick approaches close. His calm demeanor under pressure pairs perfectly with more fiery teammates in Ryder Cup formats.
Ben Griffin
The breakout star of 2025, Griffin picked up multiple wins to force his way into Bradley’s lineup. A Ryder Cup rookie, he brings confidence, youthful energy, and momentum that could ignite Team USA.
Cameron Young
Another Ryder Cup rookie, Young earned his pick with a clutch win late in the season and has ties to Bethpage, adding to the hometown story. His length off the tee and aggressive style make him an exciting addition.
Patrick Cantlay
Known for his unshakable focus and calm under pressure, Cantlay has been a reliable Ryder Cup performer. Despite occasional slow-play criticism, his steady game makes him an anchor in tight matches.
Sam Burns
One of the best putters in the world, Burns brings a clutch short game and close friendship with Scheffler—giving Bradley a ready-made pairing. His ability to roll in birdies under pressure is a huge asset in match play.
