Ryder Cup 2025 lineup set

Three U.S. players earn automatic Ryder Cup spots as captain's picks loom

Henley English DeChambeau Earn 2025 Ryder Cup Spots for United States

Three players earned automatic Ryder Cup spots for the 2025 United States team as the season long points race wrapped up with the BMW Championship. Russell Henley Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau joined Scottie Scheffler J J Spaun and Xander Schauffele to complete the six automatic qualifiers. Captain Bradley will announce the remaining six captain’s picks on August 27 to finish the 12 man squad.

Scheffler the world No 1 arrives with a strong majors record and consistent Ryder Cup performance as he enters a third straight appearance. Spaun earned his spot after winning the U S Open this year, boosting momentum for a first Ryder Cup appearance. Schauffele will compete in his third Ryder Cup after posting a balanced career mark. Henley earns his first Ryder Cup berth at 36 after a breakthrough win at the Arnold Palmer Invitational. English is back for a second Ryder Cup after a season that included a major run and a high finish at the Open. DeChambeau returns for his third Ryder Cup bringing recent major form and a string of solid results in 2024 and 2025.

This roster blends top form with fresh energy, signaling a deliberate mix of proven success and new chemistry. The challenge for Bradley will be pairing players in a way that maximizes Bethpage Black mood and matchups while keeping confidence high across the board.

Beyond individual wins, the real test will be team cohesion and strategic decisions during the week. If the pairing choices click, the United States can press its advantage in multiple formats; if they misread course fit or chemistry, even a strong lineup could struggle to produce the needed points.
