Overview

• Ten of 12 U.S. players will compete at the PGA Tour's Procore Championship; Xander Schauffele opted out, and Bryson DeChambeau is ineligible due to his LIV status.
• Eleven of Europe’s 12 will play the BMW PGA at Wentworth, with Sepp Straka absent to remain with his family after the premature birth of his child, according to Luke Donald.
• Donald has grouped European teammates in early-round tee times and scheduled a two-day Bethpage scouting trip immediately after Wentworth.
• DeChambeau said he will be in Napa for team activities, including a Tuesday dinner, despite being barred from the tournament.
• A U.S. team T-shirt featuring a silhouette resembling Rory McIlroy drew attention, as McIlroy called Europe underdogs and voiced confidence in Donald’s preparations.
