The 2023 US Ryder Cup team cup team has been announced by captain Zach Johnson in a press conference at the PGA of America Headquarters in Frisco, Texas. The choices for the captain's pick were tough, with a plethora of talent to choose from.
Ultimately, Johnson announced the following players to be a part of the Ryder Cup team as the captain's picks:
- Sam Burns
- Rickie Fowler
- Brooks Koepka
- Collin Morikawa
- Jordan Spieth
- Justin Thomas
Needless to say, Zach Johnson had a tough choice in front of him, and he put a lot of thought into team dynamics.
"Lot of time, lot of energy has gone into this process, that is probably no secret. I am very confident in these six, and my confidence comes from the mere fact that I am surrounded by some great people, specifically my vice-captains who have been absolutely amazing."
