Overview

• The captain’s picks are Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm, Sepp Straka, Viktor Hovland, Ludvig Åberg and Matt Fitzpatrick.
• They join automatic qualifiers Rory McIlroy, Robert MacIntyre, Tommy Fleetwood, Justin Rose, Rasmus Højgaard and Tyrrell Hatton.
• Europe returns 11 players from the Rome win, with rookie Rasmus Højgaard replacing his twin, Nicolai, as the only change.
• Rahm was selected despite a lower points position and his LIV Golf affiliation, underscoring Donald’s emphasis on experience and leadership.
• Notable omissions include Matt Wallace, who was emotional after missing out, as Europe prepares for Bethpage Black on September 26–28 and seeks a first U.S. win since 2012.
