The golf world has been buzzing with updates concerning the coveted Ryder Cup. While silence still prevails at the European end, the US Ryder Cup Team is all set. Not only were the automatic qualifications revealed last week, but the captain’s picks have been unveiled as well. Undoubtedly, some of the eminent names in the golf world have made it to the list.

Sadly, it doesn’t portray more than one LIV golfer, Brooks Koepka, and that means even the in-form Talor Gooch sits out. However, despite the dark cloud that showered over the LIV Golf professional’s patriotic dream, an occupancy already appears to be knocking on Gooch’s door. It features the Oklahoma team and how stirred they were by the golfer’s skills. With that, let us find out what this opportunity entails!

Amidst a break from the greens, Talor Gooch gets offered an unexpected recruitment

The last spotting of the American golfer, Talor Gooch, was at the LIV event at Bedminster, finishing at T11. Since then, the golfer has not been seen on the greens. While the anticipation for his next appearance remains clear, the golf star was seen enjoying his time off-course in a unique setting.

In a recent Instagram post by the Oklahoma City Dodgers, Talor Gooch was seen taking a break from his usual game. He had opted for another American favorite sport—baseball—allowing a period of rejuvenation for the golfer. In the uploaded video, wearing the OKC jersey, Gooch can be seen pitching the ball. Similar to his golfing skills, the athlete seems to be in complete control of his game.

So much so that the Oklahoma City Dodgers took to Instagram to appreciate the golfing star’s skills. Acknowledging the night being dominated by golf, the account wrote, “We have Talor Gooch and the Talor Gooch Foundation out!” Further, in a humorous approval of the baseball talent of the LIV golfer, they expressed their thought: “We should sign him?”

Gooch will next be seen in Chicago competing at LIV’s third-last event of the season; however, the week after will evidently showcase his absence from Italian soil. Despite that, the unpicked golfer did not seem to harbor any negative thoughts. Rather, his recent statement about it all was delivered on an optimistic note!

Despite an abrupt end to his Ryder Cup hopes, Gooch cheers for Team USA

Unquestionably, every golfer strives toward making a mark in his career that allows him to play for his nation at the biennial event. All thanks to the prestige, honor, emotions, and expectations it holds. One such player who probably wished to get a chance to play at the Ryder Cup is the three-time LIV Golf winner, Talor Gooch.

However, the 12-man roster did not register his name along with Dustin Johnson and Bryson DeChambeau. But the golfer, post-decision, showcased a mature front as he reacted to his non-selection. Conversing through social media with his followers, Gooch answered humbly when a question about him deserving a position came up.

He said, “I think more than 12 deserved it. So Zach had a tough job, but [he] did a good job”. Further continuing his statement, the 31-year-old sounded proud of the US squad and was looking forward to cheering for them. This outlook of the golfer helps the audience get an insight into the persona of the player and ultimately understand that what matters in the end is team spirit.

After all, Gooch indirectly agreed to the fact that Zach Johnson had a tough task to venture through, and he accomplished it with integrity. With that, what do you think of the new sport of choice for the Oklahoma Native? Let us know in the comments!
