The picks are in, and the United States Ryder Cup team for the 2023 event against Team Europe is set.
At first glance, it’s a really fascinating mix — there are rookies aplenty in the group of automatic qualifiers, so captain Zach Johnson balanced that out with mostly veterans like Jordan Spieth, Collin Morikawa, Rickie Fowler, Justin Thomas and Brooks Koepka. It made a ton of sense.
But who got snubbed after Tuesday’s announcement? There are a bunch of names golf fans are debating, including some who have had big years on the PGA Tour. Let’s dive in with a few of those snubs:
1
Lucas Glover
He’s been scorching hot of late, so if Johnson wanted to go by recent form, he could have been a choice.
2
Keegan Bradley
He won earlier this year at the Travelers and was fairly consistent.
3
Cameron Young
He was in the running, finishing ninth in Ryder Cup points, so he could have been chosen.
4
Tony Finau
You could definitely make a case for him.
5
Bryson DeChambeau
Less so with him, but I’ve seen some fans making a case.
