For the Americans, there figures to be significant turnover from their last team competition at the Ryder Cup.The leading five – Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark and Patrick Cantlay – were at Marco Simone. Sahith Theegala is holding down the sixth spot over Tony Finau.
The International team, which has lost nine in a row, is the side that would appear to have some stability. The leading five players were at Quail Hollow and Byeong Hun An played in the 2019 matches. Four others from the 2022 team have done well enough to merit consideration.The Women’s British Open at St. Andrews is the final qualifying event for the Solheim Cup, with seven players vying for the final two automatic spots for the U.S. team.
Stacy Lewis gets three captain’s picks, one of them likely going to Lexi Thompson, who has shown renewed form since announcing her retirement from a full schedule. He has said his goal was to get to the Tour Championship. But the Ryder Cup captain did well to make it to the BMW Championship. The top 50 get into all eight signature events next year, allowing Bradley to be around players likely to make his team for Bethpage Black.Winning a PGA Tour event that offers full FedEx Cup points is worth a trip to the Masters and PGA Championship, a start at Kapalua for The Sentry and a two-year exemption.
