Overview
- The PGA of America announced Wednesday that Ryder Cup points for U.S. players will be earned only in the 2027 season across a defined 31‑event window running from The American Express to the BMW Championship.
- Winners will receive preset points by event tier: 3,000 for majors, 2,850 for THE PLAYERS, 2,250 for signature and two playoff events, and 1,500 for full‑field PGA Tour events.
- The top six eligible players in the 2027 points list after the BMW Championship will qualify automatically and Captain Jim Furyk will name six captain’s picks after the Tour Championship.
- Opposite‑field events will not award points and Zurich Classic points will go only to partnerships in which both players are U.S. team eligible, and points standings do not replace separate eligibility rules.
- The move responds to Furyk’s concern about large purse disparities under the old money‑based system and shifts emphasis to recent results, a change that could alter which players make the U.S. roster for the Sept. 17‑19, 2027 match at Adare Manor.
