”It is always a great honor to get to represent Europe in the Ryder Cup, so it means a lot to have qualified for the eighth time in a row”, he says to the competition's website.

The six best on Europe's Ryder Cup ranking on August 18 are guaranteed to play at Bethpage in Farmingdale, New York, on September 26–28.

Captain Luke Donald gets to choose which other six players he wants in the team.

Swedish world talent Ludvig Åberg is currently eighth on the European ranking. Åberg got to play the Ryder Cup in Rome during his debut year as a pro in 2023 and then Europe won.

In early June, world number one Scottie Scheffler secured his direct spot in the US team.
