U.S. Overhauls Ryder Cup Qualifying to Emphasize Recent Results
The system gives players 31 qualifying events in 2027 and leaves Furyk with six captain’s picks to complete the 12-player roster.
- Team USA will implement a new points-based selection system for the 2027 Ryder Cup, with the top six eligible players on the U.S. Ryder Cup Points list automatically qualifying for the 12-player roster.
- Earlier this year, Jim Furyk explained the need for a change, noting the golf landscape has shifted significantly; Furyk, who led the U.S. in 2018, finalized the framework for the upcoming 46th edition.
- Qualification begins at The American Express on January 18, 2027, concluding with the BMW Championship on August 16, with Major winners receiving 3,000 points and no points counting from the 2026 season.
- Following the automatic qualification process, Furyk will utilize six captain's picks to complete the roster. "With six automatic spots and six captain's picks, the new system gives the U.S. a 12-player team while placing greater emphasis on performances during the 2027 season," Furyk said.
- The Americans travel to Adare Manor in Ireland for the 2027 contest from September 17-19, looking to win on European soil for the first time since 1993, as Europe enters after winning the previous two Ryder Cups.
