  • The 2023 Ryder Cup is Sept. 29-Oct. 1 in Rome.
  • Below are updated team rankings for the United States.

The Ryder Cup will return in 2023 from Rome, Italy, where the United States will look to defend its win in 2021, as they crushed Europe, 19-9.

Ryder Cup odds have the United States favored at -105, while Europe is +115 and a tie is +1200. Although, Europe has won the most Ryder Cups of late, winning four of the last six editions.

Over the three days, the two 12-player teams will compete in a few different formats.

Each of the first two days includes one four-match session of fourball and one four-match session of foursomes. The final day is reserved for 12 singles matches. Fourball is better known as best ball, while foursomes is better known as alternate shot.

Players earned points toward making the United States team through the BMW Championship on Aug. 20, 2023.

Below are the final rankings.

How is United States Ryder Cup Team Picked?

The top six players on the points list after the BMW Championship (Aug. 20) made the team. Captain Zach Johnson then made six captain’s picks following the Tour Championship.

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.

United States Ryder Cup Captain Picks

  • Brooks Koepka
  • Jordan Spieth
  • Collin Morikawa
