On Thursday, Ryder Cup USA reposted a message on X from world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler that read, "I will do whatever it takes to help our team reclaim the Cup."

This announcement comes on the heels of Scheffler’s official selection to the 2025 United States Ryder Cup team, confirming his place among the six automatic qualifiers and joining the roster headed by captain Keegan Bradley.

Scheffler went on to say, "Representing the United States at the Ryder Cup has been one of the greatest honors of my career, and I look forward to doing so for a third time this September... I cannot wait to play in front of the passionate New York spectators at Bethpage Black."

Since turning pro in 2018, Scheffler has rapidly ascended to become one of golf’s most decorated competitors.

In his rookie season on the PGA Tour in 2019, he earned both Korn Ferry Tour Player of the Year and Rookie of the Year honors. Since then, Scheffler has amassed 21 professional victories, 16 of which came on the PGA Tour and four European Tour wins.

Scheffler has won three major championships: the Masters Tournament in 2022 and 2024 and the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow Club.

He also boasts back-to-back The Players Championship titles in 2023 and 2024, making him the first player in history to achieve consecutive victories at that event.

Looking ahead, the 2025 Ryder Cup stands as a marquee team event that will pit the United States against Europe over four days (September 25-28) at the storied Bethpage Black Course in Farmingdale, New York.

This will mark Scheffler’s third Ryder Cup appearance with the U.S. team, having previously played in 2021 and 2023.
