Following the conclusion of the LIV Golf individual season last week, two golfers from the breakaway league have sealed their Ryder Cup places.
Bryson DeChambeau is now locked in to represent USA under the leadership of Keegan Bradley at Bethpage Black next month.
Elsewhere, Tyrrell Hatton returns to Team Europe for the fourth successive Ryder Cup, sealing an automatic place after another solid season.
The biennial event takes place in New York between September 26-28 and both sides have now filled the first six spots.
USA will be looking to continue their impressive recent home record, which included a staggering 19-9 victory at Whistling Straits in 2021.
How DeChambeau and Hatton sealed Ryder Cup qualification
DeChambeau accumulated enough points to seal a return to Team USA, despite playing just eight qualifying events.
These events were the majors throughout 2024 and 2025. Across those eight tournaments, DeChambeau won the 2024 US Open, claimed another two runner-up finishes along with three other top-ten finishes.
“Bryson is going to be a very important piece to us winning the Ryder Cup,” said USA Captain Keegan Bradley.
The two-time major champion won 2.5 points at Whistling Straits and will be keen to make up for missing out two years ago in Rome.
Hatton was impressive in 2023, winning 3.5 points across his four matches in the Italian capital.
During the qualifying period, the Englishman won the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship and the Dubai Desert Classic.
He also claimed his best-ever major finish at the US Open this year, ending in a tie for fourth at Oakmont.
“Securing a fourth straight Ryder Cup place underlines what a consistent performer Tyrrell is, and we’ll once again welcome his passion and experience to Team Europe,” said European captain Luke Donald.
Hatton joins Rory McIlroy, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose and Robert MacIntyre as automatic qualifiers for Team Europe.
Hatton’s LIV Golf teammate, Jon Rahm, will likely receive a pick from Donald in the coming weeks, especially considering the fact he claimed the individual title last week.
