Scenarios for players to automatically qualify for the U.S. Ryder Cup Team at BMW Championship

OLYMPIA FIELDS, Ill. – The U.S. Team Ryder Cup standings will finalize after this week’s BMW Championship, meaning this is the final opportunity for players to solidify automatic qualifying positions.

The top six on the U.S. Team standings after this week will qualify to compete next month at Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Rome, Italy. The squad will be rounded out with six captain’s picks, selected by U.S. Team Captain Zach Johnson following the TOUR Championship.

So, while there will be one more week to strengthen the resume, this is the final chance for U.S. players to clinch their spot without a captain’s pick needed.

Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark and Patrick Cantlay have all clinched their spot in the top six for the U.S. Team.

The next three spots are currently held by Brian Harman, Brooks Koepka and Max Homa. Click here for full standings into the week for both the U.S. Team and European Team.
