With a little more than two weeks before the first tee shots, the United States team is set for the 43rd Ryder Cup. U.S. Captain Steve Stricker announced six selections — Daniel Berger, Harris English, Tony Finau, Xander Schauffele, Scottie Scheffler and Jordan Spieth — to the team for the biennial international showdown which returns later this month after a one-year postponement due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Spieth will be making his fourth consecutive Ryder Cup appearance, the longest streak of any player on the U.S. Roster while Finau is representing the U.S. for the second time. The remaining four of the players will be making their Ryder Cup debuts, giving Stricker five rookies overall, which he sees as something of a bonus when finalizing his roster. “We’ve done some analysis of those rookies since 2008 and U.S. rookies are 40-29-17 record in Ryder Cup,” Stricker said. “So rookies fare very well in this type of format and we’re excited to have these rookies.
