The 2025 Ryder Cup is getting closer! The Golfing Gazette provides the full 12-man lineup for the United States team.
The last Ryder Cup could not have gone much worse for the USA, as Zach Johnson and his players were hammered 16.5-11.5.
Team captain Keegan Bradley now hopes to get revenge for the Stars and Stripes on home soil at the iconic Bethpage Black in New York.
Here we have the 12 United States players who will take on Europe in September after Bradley’s latest announcement.
The 12 players on the USA Ryder Cup 2025 team confirmed
Scottie Scheffler and Bryson DeChambeau were the first players to qualify for the Ryder Cup before J.J. Spaun joined them after his runner-up finish at the St Jude Championship.
The USA later confirmed the other three qualifiers, Xander Schauffele, Russell Henley, and Harris English, after the BMW Championship.

| 20 | Chris Gotterup | 4570.10 |
The remaining picks were up for major debate in the weeks and months leading up to the announcement, and a lot depended on whether Bradley was picking himself to play.
The USA captain ultimately selected Cameron Young, Patrick Cantlay, and Sam Burns, choosing not to act as a playing captain.
United States Ryder Cup 2025 qualification process
The qualification process for the United States was different from Europe’s because it was based on prize money rather than a points-based system.
Firstly, one point was awarded for every $1,000 in prize money earned by players at the four major championships and The Players Championship in 2024.
As for 2025, the same applied to every PGA Tour event, besides the majors, from January 1 until the end of the BMW Championship on August 17. 1.5 points per $1,000 were awarded at the four majors this year.
