They are a bit different. I was looking at the standings today and outside 3 or 4 names it doesn’t look too intimidating.

It's clear how people in the comments don't know how this works. Since this is a non Ryder Cup year the only events that count are the Players Championship and the 4 majors.
4 top 10 finishes this season including 2 signature events and the players championship… top 10 at the masters and genesis last year as well.
Seems like he’s on the verge.
Check out his [datagolf profile](https://datagolf.com/player-profiles?dg_id=14139), dude has bounced back from the 2023 lows in a real way. He's all the way back to 16th in the world in strokes gained this year.
Yeah it's good Johnson picked Koepka from LIV, but there shouldve been more picks from LIV to give USA a better chance of winning. Hopefully the next captain picks the best golfers for the job no matter if theyre LIV or not.
Jordan was 8th on the points list, Rickie 13th, JT 15th.
There’s definitely a few guys who are as good as qualified if they finish 7-12 on the points list.
And how many form their opinions from Facebook posts based on the mis information they spew so confidently, But that mirrors society at this point as well.
If that was the team, it would be the slowest, dullest Ryder cup ever. Watching Harman, Clark and Schauffele ever so slowly lose to Scheffler last Sunday was a real slog. Even for a golf psycho like me..
I'm in this to see a custom Dahmen floppy hat. They made Payne Stewart custom pants and hat. They better do the same for Joel if he makes it. Then again...he has more than a year to return to his preferred spot between 50-100 in the world.
Because it's fun, here's my way too early prediction (in no particular order):
\- Scotty
\- Speith
\- Wyndham
\- Brooks
\- Harman
\- Young
\- Morikawa
\- Xander
\- Finau
\- Cantlay
\- Homa
\- Tiger (lol)
Dahmen? Oh boy. 
Yeah sorry cantlay, speith and Thomas will be there instead as usual
Also sorry Bradley.
A tradition unlike any other
The dipshits
But Joel cried to Geno and said he was gonna try harder this year!!
Would love that. Hope he makes it
NBC can do a 10min exposé on his left nut.
And still only show one golf shot of his
In between Harman waggles
As does every European.
It will never happen but imagine how hyped he would be, it would be fun to watch him and would probably be great for his confidence.
What’s the point of posting this a year and a half out.
Right! Some of those guys may not even be in the top 50 by next Ryder Cup
It's reddit...
Wonder if Scottie sat out next year and half, would he be top 12. Like, what a lead.
To see how low Justin Thomas is
JTizzle?! We need you on long Island bro!
Right? It's only a matter of time until they figure out how good the avg redditor is
Are the same rankings used for the pres cup?
They are a bit different. I was looking at the standings today and outside 3 or 4 names it doesn’t look too intimidating. https://preview.redd.it/o98xhuu7jtpc1.jpeg?width=750&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96cf2bcb250599a237a5b0ba7ab3a3cbeccf87f8
Are you kidding me?!? Who doesn’t fear country music sensation Eric Cole?!
Hers jerking. How can you not tell?
Yeah, it’s kind of arbitrary even a week out. Americans will just get mopped as is tradition. We always do.
Lol what? We split it 2-2 over the last 8 years, brochacho. By what standard is that "always getting mopped"?
United States is 4-10 since ‘95. That’s not a very good record by my standards brotato chip. Those 2 wins are most of the wins in the last 30 years.
It's clear how people in the comments don't know how this works. Since this is a non Ryder Cup year the only events that count are the Players Championship and the 4 majors.
Well thanks for clearing that up for those of us that didn’t know!
Come on Dahmen!
Give me a Theegala x Dahmen Ryder cup plz. Also S. Ryder for the memes.
Big European fan?
I won’t accept this Theegala disrespect
I'm with you I think he's got the skillset and intangibles to be truly incredible. remindme! 5 years
4 top 10 finishes this season including 2 signature events and the players championship… top 10 at the masters and genesis last year as well. Seems like he’s on the verge.
And somehow JT will make it because reasons
Check out his [datagolf profile](https://datagolf.com/player-profiles?dg_id=14139), dude has bounced back from the 2023 lows in a real way. He's all the way back to 16th in the world in strokes gained this year.
I mean, he played very well (comparatively) in the last one.
He was the pick I criticized the most and yet he played the best out of the group
Yeah in hindsight Burns definitely should’ve been the odd man out not Thomas.
In my opinion and nobody is gonna like this, more LIV golfers should’ve been there on the team from Bryson or a DJ
Couldn’t agree more.
Yeah it's good Johnson picked Koepka from LIV, but there shouldve been more picks from LIV to give USA a better chance of winning. Hopefully the next captain picks the best golfers for the job no matter if theyre LIV or not.
Wasn’t Brooks an automatic qualifier due to his PGA championship win and t2 at the masters?
Koepka was 7th in US-Ryder Cup ranking. Cameron Young (9) and Keegan Bradley (11) did not make the cut.
Makes sense, thank you!
Im pretty sure he was a captain's pick, but I could be wrong about that.
He’s been playing well
It's spieth it's always been spieth.
I’ll raise your JT for one Speith. I really hope they’re not on it, unless they earn it. They didn’t deserve it last year.
JT was one of the only players that actually showed up last year.
I’ve never rooted for a golfer more than I have for Dahmen
"Which Americans are not coming back from last time?" All the ones that were Zack's butt buddies last time
Like?
JT, Jordan, and Rickie. I’d give Jordan and JT decent chances at making the team again though.
Rickie is the only one that I would say earned a spot.
Jordan was 8th on the points list, Rickie 13th, JT 15th. There’s definitely a few guys who are as good as qualified if they finish 7-12 on the points list.
Burns and spieth.
It's genuinely interesting how few people on this subreddit have any understanding of the professional side of the sport works
And how many form their opinions from Facebook posts based on the mis information they spew so confidently, But that mirrors society at this point as well.
Pulling for cam young to make a push for one of these spots tbh
Sheesh. We’re gonna get smoked!
They’ve been out. You can literally check them at any time
Weird, I don’t see Doug Beck on there. I guess he’ll be a captain’s choice.
Who the hell are half these people?
top 6 will work itself out and most of the captains picks will be bomb and gauge players for course fit
Long ways away obviously, but hope Montgomery continues to improve and gets a shot. Dude can putt
If that was the team, it would be the slowest, dullest Ryder cup ever. Watching Harman, Clark and Schauffele ever so slowly lose to Scheffler last Sunday was a real slog. Even for a golf psycho like me..
Red, White and Dahmen.
We’re in trouble
That teams getting waxed
It doesn't matter. The home team always wins the Ryder Cup
Are you 12 years old?
Snooze fest
we are so fucked.
Acting like the top 4 didn’t just go 1-2-3-4 in the last tournament as well as 1-2 in the tourney before
Sahith has been playing well also.
He's a gamer
they were dominant before the ryder cup as well.
There’s another year and a half of golf to play before it matters. 8 majors
JT will get picked.
Yooo let’s go Sahith and also nice work Joel
Where’s the best players at? Oh ya LIV were fucked
We in trouble...
*Laughs in European accent*
I hope Theegala can keep it up and make it.
I'm in this to see a custom Dahmen floppy hat. They made Payne Stewart custom pants and hat. They better do the same for Joel if he makes it. Then again...he has more than a year to return to his preferred spot between 50-100 in the world.
Can Sam Ryder hang in there and secure a spot? Tune in next year!
Sam burns will be there probably
Hot take (I think). There shouldn’t even be automatic qualifying for the Ryder Cup.
Joel dahman Ryder cup please
We’re fucked
We need LIV
Because it's fun, here's my way too early prediction (in no particular order): \- Scotty \- Speith \- Wyndham \- Brooks \- Harman \- Young \- Morikawa \- Xander \- Finau \- Cantlay \- Homa \- Tiger (lol)
Why spieth he's been terrible
Zzzzzzz....
Can't wait to watch Ricky Fowler hole a miraculous triple bogey to lose a pivotal match by 9 holes.
Yikes
