The World No. 1 earned the first spot on Team USA and will make his second Ryder Cup appearance after a 2-0-1 showing in 2021 that included a Sunday singles win against Jon Rahm, 4 and 3.
Last season was Scheffler’s coming out party as the Texan earned four wins, including his first major at the Masters, as well as four runner-up finishes and 11 top 10s. The 27-year-old has kept the party going this season with two more wins and an astounding 13 top-five finishes in 22 events.

At the 2021 Ryder Cup, with both players making their debut, they were 2-0-0 in foursomes, and Cantlay rolled Shane Lowry, 4 and 2, in his singles debut to finish the week in Wisconsin 3-0-1, tied for the most points on the team.
