U.S. Ryder Cup Team Prepares in Napa with 10 Players

The U.S. Ryder Cup team is using the Procore Championship at Napa's Silverado Resort as a crucial final preparation before their upcoming Ryder Cup match at Bethpage Black. Ten of the twelve U.S. team members, including top players like Scottie Scheffler, Justin Thomas, and J.J. Spaun, are competing in this event, which has become the strongest field in its history. This participation aims to help the team bond, regain competitive sharpness, and avoid the rust that contributed to their significant loss to Europe in 2023. Captain Keegan Bradley, although not playing, is heavily involved in organizing practice sessions and team events to boost cohesion and experiment with pairings. The presence of most team members contrasts with two years ago when only a few participated, highlighting a focused effort to ensure readiness. The event also marks the beginning of the FedEx Cup Fall schedule, with players competing to secure their status for the next season.
