Bryson DeChambeau is a lock to be in the U.S. Ryder Cup team come September.<\/strong><\/p>\n

DeChambeau<\/a> has performed incredibly well in the majors past 15 months, and as a result, he is currently sitting in fifth spot in the Ryder Cup<\/a> points list.<\/p>\n

The 31-year-old from Dallas has been in exceptional form on LIV<\/a> this season, with one win and seven top-10 finishes to his name in nine events.<\/p>\n

And it seems like he is already pumped for Bethpage Black in September.<\/p>\n

DeChambeau recently urged Keegan Bradley to play in the Ryder Cup<\/a>, after the U.S. team captain\u2019s fine form on the PGA Tour this season.<\/p>\n

And the skipper clearly wants the LIV golfer on his team as well. A few months back, Bradley invited DeChambeau and Brooks Koepka to a Ryder Cup meeting<\/a> and dinner.<\/p>\n

It seems like one Ryder Cup hopeful is a huge fan of the two-time US Open champion as well.<\/p>\n

Ben Griffin says he wants to play with Bryson DeChambeau at the Ryder Cup<\/p>\n

It has been remarkable to watch Ben Griffin<\/a> transform into one of the best players on the PGA Tour this season.<\/p>\n

Griffin has two wins and eight top-10s to his name in the 22 events he has played in 2025.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old has gained a lot of distance off the tee this season.<\/p>\n

In 2024, Griffin averaged 295.6 off the tee but this season he\u2019s recorded an average of 304.3 yards.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old is like a completely different player to the journeyman who struggled to make cuts every week over the past three years or so.<\/p>\n

When speaking on the Golf on CBS podcast, Griffin responded when asked who he would like to play alongside at Bethpage Black later this year.<\/p>\n

He said: \u201cI think I would pair up well with most of the guys, I would say I\u2019m pretty friendly with everyone. I think it would be fun if I continue on this trend of hitting it further and getting stronger playing with DeChambeau would be really fun. Try to hit a bunch of bombs out there with him. I still feel like I need to get a bit more speed to get to hang with him.\u201c<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

U.S. Ryder Cup standings<\/p>\n

Griffin is currently sitting in eighth spot in the standings.<\/p>\n

Although only the top six qualify automatically for the team, it would be very hard for Bradley to leave Griffin out, considering his form this season.<\/p>\n

Here is how the team is shaping up right now.<\/p>\n\nPlayer name and position<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n1. Scottie Scheffler<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n2. Xander Schauffele<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n3. J.J. Spaun<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n4. Russell Henley<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n5. Bryson DeChambeau<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n6. Justin Thomas<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n7. Collin Morikawa<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n8. Ben Griffin<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n9. Keegan Bradley<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n10. Harris English<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n11. Maverick McNealy<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n\n12. Brain Harman<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The top eight on that list are absolute locks in my opinion. Bradley will most likely be guaranteed a place on the team as well.<\/p>\n

That leaves three spots up for grabs, and the names currently occupying the bottom three positions will have to fight incredibly hard to be at Bethpage Black in September.<\/p>\n

However, Griffin and DeChambeau will both almost certainly be at the Ryder Cup. Whether they are paired together remains to be seen though.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bryson DeChambeau is a lock to be in the U.S. Ryder Cup team come September.
