J.J. Spaun and Xander Schauffele have joined Scottie Scheffler in earning automatic qualification on the U.S. Team for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black.

Spaun will be making his Ryder Cup debut after a banner year that included a U.S. Open Championship, three runner-up finishes and six top-10's on the PGA TOUR. THe 34-year old from Los Angeles, California, sealed his spot with a runner-up finish in the FedEx St. Jude Championship that moved him to No. 2 on the U.S. Ryder Cup Team points list.

“The Ryder Cup is unlike any event in golf, and I’m incredibly proud to qualify for my third U.S. Team appearance," Schauffele said. "Bethpage Black will undoubtedly provide a challenging test as we seek to reclaim the Cup against what is sure to be a skilled European Team. I cannot wait to get to New York and give everything I’ve got to help our team succeed.”
