While DeChambeau's presence among the 12 players is locked on, the skipper's own ball reains up in the air. Bradley dropped to No. 10 in the team standings following The Open as the potential for him to become the first playing captain since Arnold Palmer a mere six decades ago continues to loom large.

Making the Ryder Cup roster is no small feat, especially for LIV Golf stars that can't earn points in the standings during their events. That won't be a problem for Bryson DeChambeau in 2025 though, with U.S. captain Keegan Bradley confirming Sunday to Sports Illustrated that the two-time major winner would make the roster.
