Ryder Cup Sends Clear Message After Scottie Scheffler News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. As the golf world gears up for Bethpage Black this September, the United States Ryder Cup team has signaled its intentions by officially naming world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler as its first automatic qualifier for the 45th edition of the competition.

Scottie Scheffler's dominant 2025 season has earned him an automatic spot on the Team USA roster for the 2025 Ryder Cup.

It is hardly a surprise, but it is official nonetheless. On Wednesday it was announced that world number one golfer Scottie Scheffler is the first person to officially qualify for the United States Ryder Cup team that will look to re-take what is theirs at Bethpage Black later this year.
