Talor Gooch’s chances of getting into the Ryder Cup

The highly anticipated Ryder Cup is scheduled for next month, and it is USA Team Captain Zach Johnson who holds the authority to select the team members. However, since the LIV points are not counted in the FedEx Cup, the automatic selection process does not apply to Gooch. 

Currently placed at the 86th ranking in the Ryder Cup, Gooch’s only chance of securing a spot in Rome is through being chosen as a captain’s pick. Whether or not this possibility becomes a reality remains uncertain and only time will reveal the outcome.
