Brooks Koepka in Ryder Cup, a rumor swells

A few hours before Zach Johnson's announcement scheduled for Tuesday at 4 p.m. in France, the latest rumors are going well and LIV player Brooks Koepka, the first automatic non-qualifier, should not ultimately miss the meeting in Rome.

Brooks Koepka, Ryder Cup

Discussions regarding the identity of the 6 players selected to complete the American Ryder Cup selection will end at 4 p.m. this Tuesday but information began to filter on Monday evening.

They show the very likely choice of Brooks Koepka, ejected from the last qualifying place on points by Xander Schauffele during the final tournament taken into account in the calculation a few days ago.

The LIV player who finished first unqualified when he was only able to play major tournaments therefore seems essential. This is the opinion of several members of the American Ryder Cup team such as world number 1 Scottie Scheffler.

To accompany Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Brian Harman, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa and Xander Schauffele, it is rumored that Zach Johnson and his 5 vice-captains would therefore have decided to summon Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa, the Floridian of LIV Brooks Koepka but also… Justin Thomas.

The winner of the PGA Championship 2022, who has been lacking results for several months, still enjoys a very good rating with the staff and other players. His track record, his association with Jordan Spieth in the Ryder Cup and Presidents Cup teams speak for him.

There would then remain a place to be awarded and the balance seems to lean on the side of Sam Burns, in particular because of his agreement with Scottie Scheffler. The two players are great friends and would love to play doubles together.

Thus Zach Johnson could count on 3 natural doublets: Cantlay-Schauffele, Spieth-Thomas and Scheffler-Burns.

The competition, which takes its name from the trophy donated by the Englishman Samuel Ryder (1858–1936) to the American federation in 1924, is co-managed by the European Tour and the PGA of America.

From 1927 to 1971 the tournament was played between the selection of the United States and that of Great Britain, with a clear American dominance (15-3) and only one draw. Ireland was incorporated into Great Britain in 1973 and the rest of continental Europe in 1979. Following the acceptance of the European team as the antagonist of the US one, the tournament was much more balanced: from 1979 to 2018, in fact, there were eleven wins for Europe, eight for the United States and only one draw.
