After needing a captain’s pick for the Ryder Cup, Scottie Scheffler made sure that he wouldn’t have to sweat out waiting for a phone call with good news again for the U.S. Presidents Cup team.
Scheffler topped the U.S. team point standings with 12,670 points. He won four times, including the Masters, and heads into the FedEx Cup finale at East Lake next week in second place.
Scheffler, 26, will be representing the stars and stripes at the Presidents Cup for the first time. He recorded a record of 2-0-1, going 1-0-1 in a pair of For-Ball matches before defeating then-World No. 1 Jon Rahm in singles. Expect him to play at least four matches this go-round.
Captain Love on Scheffler: “Scottie is a tremendous competitor and someone who gained valuable experience last fall at Whistling Straits. In 2022, we’ve seen his true potential shine as he’s ascended to the No. 1 player in the world, but also has cemented himself as a guy who has earned the respect of his peers and teammates. This will certainly be the first of many Presidents Cups for him.”
