The Ryder Cup is now only days away and Team USA has been completed with six automatic qualifiers and half-a-dozen captain's picks by Keegan Bradley.
Although there are a few changes from the team which lost away in Italy two years ago, the American outfit remains extremely strong and is well-backed to wrestle the Ryder Cup out of European hands at Bethpage Black.
Bradley's 12-man team features plenty of experience and a handful of talented rookies - a mix which the 39-year-old hopes will lead to a winning recipe on home soil.
The captain will not be a part of the line-up, however, after explaining why he chose to focus exclusively on leading this time around.
Below is Team USA's full Ryder Cup roster and how each player qualified for the team.
Scottie Scheffler
Scottie Scheffler qualified first for Team USA with around 10% of the total qualifying points on offer. He won two of the four Majors in 2025 as well as three more PGA Tour titles - one of which was the BMW Championship - which not only strengthened his position as World No.1 but also helped him lock up a third Ryder Cup appearance.
Scheffler suffered a tough outing at Marco Simone last time out, drawing two and losing two of his four matches. But his Ryder Cup debut on home soil was a far more positive experience with two wins and a tie from three matches helping the Americans to success.
Appearances: 2
Record: 2-2-3
Wins: 1
JJ SPAUN
JJ Spaun has enjoyed a remarkable year with a close call at The Players Championship and a debut Major victory at the US Open. Aside from that, the 35-year-old achieved four more top-10s and secured enough points to qualify second on the US list.
He will make his Ryder Cup debut at Bethpage Black and hope the USA can continue the recent pattern of home team's emerging victorious.
Appearances: Rookie
Record: 0-0-0
Wins: N/A
Xander Schauffele
Xander Schauffele was a little slow out of the blocks in 2025 after a rib injury cost him the first month or two of the season, but once he found his stride, the two-time Major winner racked up plenty of top-25s to make the US team third in the qualifying standings.
Schauffele's early Ryder Cup record has very much been dictated by whether he has played at home or away, with a 3-1 stat line at Whistling Straits reversed in Rome last time out. He will hope to continue that theme as one of the hosts' very best players.
Appearances: 2
Record: 4-4-0
Wins: 1
Russell Henley
Russell Henley qualified in fourth for the US Ryder Cup team after a win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and an incredibly consistent streak of results from the Memorial Tournament in June where he logged five top-10s in seven starts.
Although he is a Ryder Cup rookie, Henley is one of the most in-form players on either side and has Presidents Cup experience form 2024 to lean on at Bethpage.
Appearances: Rookie
Record: 0-0-0
Wins: N/A
Harris English
A win at the Farmers Insurance Open helped Harris English off to a really nice start in 2025, and he continued it with runner-up finishes at the PGA Championship and The Open Championship.
English was picked for the team at Whistling Straits, his only previous Ryder Cup experience, but qualified fifth this time around and will be an incredibly steady presence in the white-hot cauldron of Bethpage Black.
Appearances: 1
Record: 1-2-0
Wins: 1
Bryson DeChambeau
Bryson DeChambeau did incredibly well to make Team USA outright after only playing in eight eligible events through the qualifying period. A T5th at The Masters, a runner-up at the PGA Championship and a sensational recovery to end T10th at The Open helped in that regard.
Back on Team USA following an absence in 2023, DeChambeau will hope to maintain his unbeaten personal record on home soil while improving on the winless record in foursomes, should he be given the chance to team up with one of his PGA Tour colleagues.
Appearances: 2
Record: 2-3-1
Wins: 1
Justin Thomas
Keegan Bradley's first captain's pick was an easy choice if you're of an American persuasion. Justin Thomas is one of those players who lives and breathes the Ryder Cup. He turns into a different man on Ryder Cup courses while retaining that same world-class ability he produces on the PGA Tour every week.
Thomas was given the chance to make a fourth Ryder Cup start after an impressive 2025 that featured a win at the RBC Heritage and a dramatic upturn in his putting fortunes. Now one of the USA's best with the flat stick, Thomas is likely to be a key player in the home team's hopes once again.
Appearances: 3
Record: 7-4-2
Wins: 1
Collin Morikawa
Collin Morikawa was the beneficiary of a captain's pick from Keegan Bradley after a year that left plenty to be desired on the PGA Tour. Following a hot start with two runner-up finishes and a top-10 in his first five starts, Morikawa managed only one more top-10 for the rest of the season (14 starts, three MC).
The 28-year-old is another who has an undefeated record in US-hosted Ryder Cups, although, he is yet to win either of his singles matches. Morikawa will be desperate for that to change as he tries to repay the faith Captain Bradley has shown in him.
Appearances: 2
Record: 4-3-1
Wins: 1
Ben Griffin
Fuelled by creatine and his first two PGA Tour wins, Ben Griffin jumped and screamed in the direction of Keegan Bradley through 2025, demanding that he be picked for the team at Bethpage Black. Despite a lack of Ryder Cup experience, Griffin is likely to have been a fairly simple selection for the US skipper.
As well as the two wins, one of which was alongside Andrew Novak at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, Griffin's all-round game has developed significantly this season. A combination of improved putting and greater distance off the tee means Griffin will be quietly feared by his European counterparts this September.
Appearances: Rookie
Record: 0-0-0
Wins: N/A
Cameron Young
Cameron Young is the perfect fit for a captain's pick at the 2025 Ryder Cup. He finally picked up his first PGA Tour win in August following multiple near-misses, he is from the New York area, and he is an absolute demon in terms of his power off the tee. Add in his knowledge of Bethpage Black, and you've got yourself a great captain's pick.
Young's form really peaked at the right time for him to be a part of this Ryder Cup, with a win surrounded by six top-11 finishes in his 12 most recent starts. Although he has never tasted Ryder Cup golf before, 2025 could be the first of many if his career goes the way most expect it to.
Appearances: Rookie
Record: 0-0-0
Wins: N/A
Patrick Cantlay
A runner-up finish at the Tour Championship may have been a key argument in favor of Patrick Cantlay's case for a captain's pick, with a 2025 season that hardly set the world on fire. He managed five top-10 finishes in total but missed the cut in three of the four Majors.
Regardless, Cantlay's history at this event carries so much weight that Bradley probably felt it was worth taking the 33-year-old anyway. His incredible points tally in just two appearances speaks for itself, and an undefeated record on home turf is a sure confidence-booster.
Appearances: 2
Record: 5-2-1
Wins: 1
Sam Burns
Sam Burns is by far the best putter of the 12 - no doubt a key factor in his inclusion by Keegan Bradley as the sixth and final pick on the US team. Burns did not enjoy his best week on debut in Italy, but circumstances are much more in his favor this time around.
Burns really came alive form-wise during Major season and went close to adding another PGA Tour title at the RBC Canadian Open before losing in a playoff to Ryan Fox. A run of T4th and T7th in the FedEx Cup Playoffs only served to strengthen Bradley's belief that Burns was worth adding to the roster for Bethpage.
Appearances: 1
Record: 1-2-0
Wins: 0
