How Are United Ryder Cup Points Determined?
Players earn one point per $1,000 earned at each tournament. The winner of the Masters, PGA Championship, U.S. Open, and British Open earn two points per $1,000 earned.
Points began to be earned in 2022 and will continue through the BMW Championship.
Potential United States Ryder Cup Captain Picks
- Jordan Spieth
- Xander Schauffele
- Kevin Kisner
- Patrick Cantlay
- Tom Hoge
- Sam Burns
Those players are all currently not inside the top six in terms of points, so they would need to be captain’s picks. Historically, the captain’s picks are determined by experience and who is playing well of late.
Often, some players do not qualify via points but have plenty of experience and deserve to make the team. Other times, players are playing extremely well toward the end of the summer but need more points to qualify. Given their recent form, they are also deserving.
United States captain Zach Johnson will make his selections following the 2023 Tour Championship.
