US Ryder Cup captain Keegan Bradley has confirmed several potential team members will tee it up in a <\/strong>PGA Tour<\/strong><\/a> event between the Tour Championship and the biennial contest.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Qualification for the US team ends in a few weeks’ time at the conclusion of the second leg of the PGA Tour’s playoffs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

World No.1 Scottie Scheffler<\/a> has already booked his spot on the team and five others will join him after the BMW Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bradley will then confirm his six wildcards that will head to Bethpage Black in New York over 26-28 September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

There is a lengthy period of time between the conclusion of the Tour Championship at East Lake and the start of the Ryder Cup<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Before the 2023 contest, several members of the US side opted to use the gap to practice at home and re-charge their batteries.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jordan Spieth<\/a> later conceded this was a huge mistake.\u00a0<\/p>\n

By contrast, all 12 members of the 2023 European team participated in the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The group also went on a two-week reconnaissance trip to Marco Simone Golf & Country Club in Italy.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The US team also took a recce, but it was shorter and not every member went.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Spieth didn’t go as his wife Annie was heavily pregnant with their second child.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Xander Schauffele and Patrick Cantlay were also absent and we now know that was down to a contractual dispute with the PGA of America.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bradley, though, has confirmed that he’ll play in the Procore Championship<\/a> over 11-14 September.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It is the first of seven events under the PGA Tour’s fall series that gives those an opportunity to that missed the FedEx Cup playoffs to qualify for next year’s signature events.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For others, it is an opportunity to secure their PGA Tour cards for 2026 and the tournaments are also open to exempt members.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Bradley told Sports Illustrated<\/a> that ‘no one is required to go’, adding: “The boys feel like this is the best course of action to be ready to play at their highest level at Bethpage Black.”<\/p>\n

The aforementioned Clark, who made his Ryder Cup debut in Italy, previously admitted he apologised to his playing partner Max Homa during his first match in Rome after a dreadful start.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Clark said as though he wasn’t ‘tournament sharp’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I felt like a lot of us weren’t prepared,” Clark<\/a> added.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zach Johnson, who led Team USA in 2023, did not agree that he wasn’t prepared.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His only regret after their five-point defeat was not understanding the ‘pure commodity of time’.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The common denominator that I go back to that I wish I could have changed, or not changed, I wish it would have dawned on me earlier is just the pure commodity of time and understanding that it’s precious,” he said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“If I could have put more value into time management, I could have put my guys in a better position to play golf at a better rate early on.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m not suggesting that would have changed the outcome, not at all. I can’t determine that, that\u2019s sports, right?\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m just saying I think in my seat I didn’t see what needed to be seen until after the fact.”<\/p>\n
