“Going from a desk job to making my way back to the PGA Tour has been an incredible journey, and this year it’s been kind of a breakthrough year for me,” Griffin said after being named one of Keegan Bradley’s captain’s picks.
“I’ve just been working really hard and believing in myself, and I’m just really excited to be a part of this team and appreciate the belief from not only Keegan but also from the rest of the captains and other players that also believe in me, and I’m ready to work hard and fight for a lot of points at Bethpage.”

Ben Griffin’s rise this season has been impressive. He began the year ranked 68th in the world, climbed to No. 11 and currently sits at No. 12 in the Official World Golf Rankings. Across 29 PGA Tour starts, he has recorded two wins, two runner-up finishes, eleven top-10s, and sixteen top-25s. His first victory came at the Charles Schwab Challenge, where he finished 12 under par, followed by a dominant 28-under-par win at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans.

While he narrowly missed out on qualifying for the Masters, being ranked 51st at the cutoff for exempt players, Griffin performed well in other majors. He tied for eighth at the PGA Championship with four under par and finished T10 at the U.S. Open at five over par, though he missed the cut at The Open Championship.
