World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler first to earn spot on Team USA for 2025 Ryder Cup
Fresh off a dominant win at the 2025 Memorial Tournament, Scottie Scheffler has yet another achievement to celebrate. Scheffler, who defended his title at Muirfield last week, secured his spot on the U.S. team for the 2025 Ryder Cup at Bethpage this fall. Winner of three of his last four starts, Scheffler has already accrued enough points to lock in his bid as an automatic qualifier for Team USA. Advertisement This will be Scheffler's third time donning the red, white and blue since making his debut at Whistling Straits in 2021. 'Representing the United States at the Ryder Cup has been one of the greatest honors of my career, and I look forward to doing so for a third time this September,' said Scheffler on the Ryder Cup's official website. 'I will do whatever it takes to help our team reclaim the Cup and cannot wait to play in front of the passionate New York spectators at Bethpage Black.' Scheffler, ranked No. 1 in the world, will be joined by five other automatic qualifiers, plus six players selected by Team USA captain Keegan Bradley. As of June 4, the other automatic qualifiers are Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa and Russell Henley.

Keegan Bradley Likens Memorial to US Open; 'Hardest Course in the World'
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Keegan Bradley is among the leaders of the Memorial Tournament after a stellar first round. However, this wasn't because the course was easy or the event itself wasn't challenging enough. In fact, Bradley had the highest praise for the tournament taking place at Muirfield Village Golf Club. "Basically a U.S. Open we're playing," he said after his first round's performance. Given that sentiment, there's no doubt that Bradley should be grateful for such a challenging test of golf just two weeks before the actual US Open. In fact, it seems the American Ryder Cup captain has felt this way for most of the season: "It seems like we're playing really hard courses every week, so it's more of the norm for these elevated events..." "Yeah, it's tough. I mean, we don't have much of a break ever. Like, normally it's pretty tough every week. Basically I'm going to be playing back-to-back U.S. Opens here, but the course is very fair, setup nice, just a tough test." Like the entire golf world, Bradley is at the Memorial Tournament, but he's already eyeing the US Open. It's no surprise that, when talking about difficult golf courses, the conversation turned to the venue of the third major of the season: "I think it's really difficult to make the course fair and keep it at even par, but on a course like Oakmont that could be different because personally I think it's the hardest course in the world."

Keegan Bradley of the United States plays a shot from the 18th tee during the first round of the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday 2025 at Muirfield Village Golf Club on May 29, 2025 in Dublin, Ohio. MoreBradley has only played in one PGA Tour-sanctioned tournament at Oakmont: the 2016 U.S. Open. He missed the cut after carding rounds of 71 and 78. The seven-time PGA Tour winner recorded five birdies and two bogeys in the first round of the Memorial Tournament, finishing with a score of 3-under 69. He will start Friday tied for third, four strokes behind leader Ben Griffin. Bradley has made 16 official starts at Muirfield Village Golf Club, including 15 individual tournaments and the 2013 Presidents Cup. In the latter, he contributed 2.5 points to the American team's victory in five matches. In individual events, he has made the cut 10 times in 15 starts (14 of the Memorial Tournament and one of the Workday Charity Classic), with two top-10 finishes. His best results have been finishing eighth twice (Memorial in 2015 and 2016). More Golf: PGA Tour brass defends Rory McIlroy's choice to skip The Memorial

Jason Day, a member at Muirfield Village Golf Club, out of 2025 Memorial with sore wrist
Jason Day, a member at Muirfield Village Golf Club, out of 2025 Memorial with sore wrist DUBLIN, Ohio — Westerville, Ohio, resident and Muirfield Village Golf Club member Jason Day is sitting out the 2025 Memorial Tournament because of soreness in his left wrist. "Unfortunately, I won't be able to compete in the Memorial," Day messaged tournament officials last week. "I've had some discomfort in my left wrist and after consulting with my doctor he recommended I take the week off to rest and recover. "I always look forward to playing in Ohio at Jack's event each year," Day wrote. "As a member at Muirfield we are quite honored to recognize Barbara Nicklaus as this year's honoree. I look forward to returning in 2026." Day, 37, last missed the Memorial in 2021, when a back injury forced him to withdraw. His only other absence came in 2011. His best finish in 15 appearances is a tie for fourth in 2020. Day has also been struggling with a back issue that caused him to withdraw from the May 8-11 Truist Championship. Day was dealing with a herniated disc near his neck, but returned to play in the PGA Championship a week later, where he missed the cut. Day's season has included three top-10 finishes, including a tie for eighth at the Masters. Last year at the Memorial, the former world No. 1 stayed in his RV in his Westerville driveway to simulate a typical tournament week on the road. The driveway to fairway system began in 2020, when Day tied for fourth at the Memorial. Needless to say, with his injury, he'll be sleeping in his own bed this week.

Rory McIlroy is skipping the Memorial Tournament, which will take place May 29-June 1 at Muirfield Village in Dublin, Ohio, for the first time in eight years. Competing likely would have meant four consecutive starts for the Masters champion as he is expected the play the following three weeks, including the Canadian Open, U.S. Open and Travelers Championship. World No. 1 Scottie Scheffler will return to Jack's Place to defend his title in the seventh of eight signature events on Tour this season (Travelers being No. 8). Jack Nicklaus is the tournament host and will welcome a field of 72 players, which will be finalized after the Charles Schwab Challenge. Here's a look at the initial field as of the Friday entry deadline: Muirfield Village Golf Club has hosted the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday annually since the inaugural event in 1976.
