Scottie Scheffler, J.J. Spaun and Xander Schauffele were the first three automatic qualifiers for Team USA; Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau had their spots confirmed after the PGA Tour’s BMW Championship; Watch the Ryder Cup live from September 26-28 on Sky Sports
Russell Henley, Harris English and Bryson DeChambeau have been confirmed as the final three automatic qualifiers for Team USA’s Ryder Cup side.
The race to qualify for Keegan Bradley’s side began in March 2024, with players earning points for prize money earned on the PGA Tour, with the qualification campaign running until the conclusion of the BMW Championship on August 17.
World No 1 Scottie Scheffler was the first automatic qualifier, with his spot officially confirmed in June, with JJ Spaun and Xander Schauffele the next two to guarantee their spots for Bethpage Black.
Henley and English had their places confirmed after safely progressing through to the PGA Tour’s season-ending Tour Championship, with DeChambeau holding onto the final automatic spot despite playing in the LIV Golf League and only earning points from majors.
The six automatic qualifiers will be joined by six captain’s picks, announced by Bradley on August 27 at 4pm, live on Sky Sports, ahead of the biennial contest taking place from September 26-28.
Team USA’s six automatic qualifiers confirmed
Scheffler will headline the American team after another dominant season, with victory at the BMW Championship his fifth on the PGA Tour in 2025 – including major titles at the PGA Championship and The Open.
Both Scheffler and Schauffele make their third consecutive Ryder Cup appearances, having featured in the record-breaking win at Whistling Straits in 2021 and their 16.5-11.5 defeat in Rome in 2023.
Spaun makes his Team USA debut after claiming a breakthrough major title at the US Open in June, along with runner-up finishes at The Players and FedEx St Jude Championship, with Henley also set for a rookie appearance after an impressive campaign.
English had two runner-up finishes in majors this season and won the Farmers Insurance Open earlier in the campaign, securing him a second Ryder Cup appearance and first since 2021, with DeChambeau returning to Team USA after not featuring in the last contest.
DeChambeau played at Le Golf National in 2018 and featured in the last Ryder Cup on American soil, with the two-time US Open champion posting six top 10 finishes in majors during the 17-month qualification campaign.
Who needs a captain pick for Team USA?
Former world No 1 Justin Thomas narrowly missed out on an automatic qualification spot and will likely be given a captain’s pick by Bradley, having featured in each of the last three editions for Team USA.
Collin Morikawa has been in the past two teams and finished eighth in the Ryder Cup qualification standings, with Ben Griffin, Maverick McNealy, Bradley and Brian Harman the next four in the rankings.
Tyrrell Hatton, Sepp Straka, Shane Lowry, Ludvig Åberg and Viktor Hovland all featured in Europe’s 2023 victory and are expected to be involved again in New York, where Donald will be hoping to secure the first away win since 2012.
Only points earned on the DP World Tour this week will be included in the rankings, with Matt Fitzpatrick, Nicolai Hojgaard, Rasmus Hojgaard and Matt Wallace among those in the field at the Belfry hoping to impress.
Donald will then name his six captain’s picks on Monday September 1 at 4pm, live on Sky Sports.

Express Sport brings you the latest tennis news from the Paris Masters.
We’re reaching the business end of the Paris Masters, as eight players become four in the French capital. Jannik Sinner is the overwhelming favourite to lift the trophy after Carlos Alcaraz was dumped out by Cameron Norrie in the Spaniard’s opening match. Norrie was then beaten by Valentin Vacherot, whose amazing 10-match winning streak at Masters 1000 level came to an end when he lost to Felix Auger-Aliassime.
Canadian star Auger-Aliassime will face Alexander Bublik in the semis. Bublik defeated Alex de Minaur, who is among those to have already qualified for the year-end ATP Finals. Sinner is through to his first Paris Masters semi-final after beating Ben Shelton. He’ll face defending champion Alexander Zverev, who survived a tough match against Daniil Medvedev.
Novak Djokovic is not involved in the Paris Masters, having decided to skip the event for the second year in a row, but he has learned his fate in the draw of next week’s ATP 250 in Athens. And over in Riyadh, the WTA Finals are about to get underway.
Tennis star Taylor Townsend is proving once again that strength and beauty are not opposites — they’re a perfect match. In her latest series of photos, the American powerhouse effortlessly blends athletic grace with unapologetic confidence, reminding the world that true power shines brightest when it comes from within.

As a professional tennis player, mother, and advocate for self-acceptance, she continues to inspire millions who see themselves reflected in her journey — a story of perseverance, pride, and power.
In a recent interview, Taylor reflected on her evolution, saying:
“Confidence doesn’t come from fitting in. It comes from standing tall in your truth — from knowing your worth even when others don’t see it yet.”
That message resonates deeply with fans, who flooded social media with words of admiration. One comment summed it up perfectly: “Taylor Townsend is what strength looks like — beautiful, real, and unstoppable.”
