World Points List freezes until the 2020 European Tour season re-commences
Following an announcement by the Board of the Official World Golf Rankings on Wednesday June 3, 2020, the OWGR points will resume with the start of the PGA Tour and the Korn Ferry Tour in the United States in the week beginning Monday June 8, 2020.
This decision means that the large majority of European-born members of the European Tour, who are not members of the PGA Tour, will only be able to earn points on the Ryder Cup World Points list once the 2020 European Tour season re-commences in July.
Therefore, in agreement with European Captain Pádraig Harrington, the European Tour Tournament Committee unanimously approved the current ‘freezing’ of this list until earliest, the week of the first European Tour event back. It means that World Ranking points gained in PGA Tour or Korn Ferry events this month and next – up until the restart of the European Tour season – will not officially count on the Ryder Cup World Points list.

Ryder Cup
How it Works
The Ryder Cup is played in even-numbered years between 12-member teams from the United States and Europe. It consists of five match-play sessions played over three days.
Team Selection
The European Team will comprise the first four players from the European Points List, followed by the leading five players from the World Points List and completed by three wild cards. The US Team will be made up from the top eight in the points rankings with four captain's picks.
Ryder Cup Format
Each of the first two days includes one four-match session of four-ball and one four-match session of foursomes. The final day is reserved for 12 singles matches.
Scoring
Each match is worth one point, with matches ending in a draw worth ½ point to each side. The first team to reach 14 ½ points wins the Ryder Cup. If the matches end in a 14-14 draw, the team holding the Ryder Cup retains it.
