U.S. Ryder Cup captain Jim Furyk announced his three captain’s picks on Tuesday evening, and to no one’s surprise they are: Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Bryson DeChambeau.
DeChambeau, who’s won the first two legs of the FedExCup playoffs, will make his Ryder Cup debut, while Mickelson will tee it up in his 12th straight appearance.
Woods, who was named a vice captain prior to his comeback season, will make his eighth Ryder Cup appearance.
Furyk also announced that David Duval, Zach Johnson and Matt Kuchar will be vice-captains. Davis Love III and Steve Stricker, along with Tiger, were previously named as part of the braintrust.
Woods, Mickelson and DeChambeau will join the eight American players who had qualified via points: Brooks Koepka, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, Justin Thomas, Bubba Watson, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler and Webb Simpson.
The 48-year old Mickelson celebrated being named to the team with a patriotic tweet.
So honored to be a part of Team USA!
