Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau selected to U.S. Ryder Cup team

WEST CONSHOHOCKEN, Pa. — Tiger Woods is returning to the Ryder Cup as a player for the first time in six years. Phil Mickelson will set a Ryder Cup record by playing for the 12th straight time. They join Bryson DeChambeau, the hottest player in golf and FedExCup No. 1, as three of the American wild-card selections. U.S. captain Jim Furyk had an easy time with three of his four picks. DeChambeau, Mickelson (FedExCup No. 9) and Woods (FedExCup No. 25) were the next three in the U.S. standings behind the eight players who earned automatic spots after the PGA Championship. DeChambeau has won the last two FedExCup Playoffs events, rising to No. 7 in the world. Still to come for Furyk is his final captain’s pick, to be announced Monday after the BMW Championship. The matches are Sept. 28-30 outside Paris.
