“Where’s Jordan, Justin and Ricky?” “Underwhelming” – Fans react to the latest Team USA Ryder Cup rankings

Fans have expressed dissatisfaction with the recent revelation of the US Team's Ryder Cup points list. Tournament officials have disclosed Team USA's ranking list for the upcoming 2025 edition of the Ryder Cup.

Players finishing in the top 6 of the ranking list following the 2024 and 2025 seasons will automatically secure their spots on the team for the biennial event. The ranking points for the 2024 season are based on The Players Championship and four other Major tournaments.

With The Players Championship concluding last week, the Team USA Ryder Cup ranking list has been initiated. Scottie Scheffler, the winner of The Players Championship 2024, has topped the team USA Ryder Cup ranking points with a total of 4500.

NUCLR Golf shared the list on its X account (formerly Twitter) with the caption:

"Team USA Ryder Cup rankings."

Fans were, however, surprised not to see Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and Rickie Fowler on the list. One user commented:

"Lol wheres Jordan,Justin and Ricky???"

It is important to note that Justin Thomas, Jordan Spieth, and Rickie Fowler were part of last year's US Ryder Cup team. They competed at The Players Championship last week, but Thomas and Spieth failed to make the cut and did not earn any money from the event.

As Ryder Cup ranking points are only awarded to players making the cut, Thomas and Spieth were not included in the current ranking list. However, Fowler secured the 41st spot in the Ryder Cup USA team ranking with 51.500 points as he finished T68 at The Players Championship last week.

Nevertheless, golfers still have the opportunity to make the list by performing well in the Majors. Moreover, the scoring criteria for the 2025 season have not been announced yet.

"Underwhelming,' commented another fan.

"Team USA Ryder Cup rankings: Looks like we're in good hands...or clubs!" wrote another fan.
