Who Is On The Ryder Cup Team This Year
- A year earlier, Stricker assisted Furyk at the 2018 Ryder Cup, where Woods played on the losing side. And in 2017, when Stricker was the Presidents Cup captain, Woods was an assistant for the U.S.
- Today, the Ryder Cup is golf’s pre-eminent event, biennially bringing together 12-member teams from the U.S. And Europe for glory and pride on a three-day worldwide stage. Spanning 91 years and now 42 competitions, the Ryder Cup also is among the last great professional sporting events where winning, and not prize money, is the reward.
Woods has loads of experience as a player in the Ryder Cup, competing in 37 matches across eight different events dating back to 1997. He was also a vice captain in 2018 under Jim Fuyrk, although.
Get ready golf fans, because we’re just a few days away from turning the calendar to a Ryder Cup year.
The pandemic forced the postponement of the 43rd biennial battle between the United States and Europe, originally scheduled for Sept. 25-27 at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin. Twelve of the best American and European male golfers will now play Sept. 24-26, 2021, still at Whistling Straits.
In August, Team USA changed its selection criteria for the 2021 event. All points earned by U.S. players since qualification began in 2019 will be recognized, and the time to accrue points was extended through the 2021 BMW Championship (Aug. 26-29). The top six players on the points list will qualify, with U.S. captain Steve Stricker making the final six picks following the 2021 Tour Championship (Sept. 2-5).
Team Europe will take the top four players on its European Points List, as well as the top five players on its World Points List who didn’t qualify from the European list. Captain Padraig Harrington will make his three final picks the week of Monday, Sept. 13, 2021.
Here’s how the teams currently stand entering 2021.
