U.S. Ryder Cup players will use first fall event, the Procore Championship, to help stay sharp
'I know I'll be there,' Scottie Scheffler said.
Ditto for Xander Schauffele, who suggested the world's No. 1 player was a strong voice in urging whoever is on the U.S. team to be at Silverado Resort on Sept. 11-14.
That was a big concern at the last Ryder Cup, held outside Rome in 2023. The PGA Tour season that year ended Aug. 27 with the Tour Championship at East Lake, and the majority of the team had a full month away from tournament golf before going to Marco Simone for the start of the Ryder Cup on Sept. 29.
Justin Thomas and Max Homa were the only players in Napa, along with U.S. captain Zach Johnson. Europe had its players at the BMW PGA Championship in England. Team Europe got out to a fast start at Marco Simone and sailed to an easy victory to win back the cup.
The Procore Championship is the only PGA Tour event on the schedule between the Tour Championship and the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black in New York. It also is the same week as the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth.
Odds are against having all 12 of the Americans there — one of them is Bryson DeChambeau, who is banned from the PGA Tour because he's with LIV Golf.
Ryder Cup update: Keegan Bradley confirms Bryson DeChambeau's inclusion; Chris Gotterup makes huge jump
DeChambeau's T-10 finish at Portrush impressed Bradley enough for Bradley to confirm to Sports Illustrated that DeChambeau will be among the 12 players on his squad.
U.S. captain Keegan Bradley told Sports Illustrated he would use one of his six picks on DeChambeau, who finished in the top 10 at three of the four majors this year.
'Bryson is going to be a very important piece to us winning the Ryder Cup,' Bradley said in a text message to SI. 'He brings so much. He brings energy, passion but most importantly, he's one of the best players on the planet.'
The LIV Golf League season ends Aug. 24 with its team championship in Michigan. The only other competition for DeChambeau would be a YouTube match or European tour stops in Switzerland, Ireland, England or France.

Victor Dubuisson returns! Frenchman wins on Alps Tour, refuses paycheck
Victor Dubuisson, a former DP World Tour champion and 2014 European Ryder Cup star who retired at age 33, played his first competitive golf since September 2023 and made it look as easy as riding a bicycle. The 35-year-old Frenchman returned to the Alps Tour, a developmental circuit, and carded rounds of 62-65-61 at Golf de Biarritz Le Phare in his homeland. Then he birdied the second playoff hole to edge Spain's Jorge Maicas and win the Biarritz Cup. But according to Dubuisson declined to accept his winner's share of the €47,500 prize purse after being in the field as a sponsor's exemption. Calling it 'a gesture of personal principle, Dubuisson refused his €7,600 winner's check, which went to Maicas. Dubuisson was the No. 1 amateur in 2009 before turning pro and had the potential to do the same in the pay-for-play ranks but the life of a touring pro wasn't for him. 'I feel like I've reached my limits and I know I can find pleasure elsewhere, I'm convinced of that,' the enigmatic Dubuisson said during an interview in December 2023 with France's L'Equipe. 'I spent 15 years alone on the Tour, curled up on myself. I missed contact with people. So it's just simple human relationships around golf that I want to have.' It appears his game has little rust and time will tell if this Alps Tour victory kickstarts a full-fledged comeback bid. 'It is unclear at this stage whether Dubuisson plans to build on this success and target a full comeback,' reported, noting that for the past 18 months he has been running clinics for holiday makers in Tenerife at the Abama Golf Resort.

After firing coach and caddie, Joaquin Niemann runs away with 2025 LIV Golf UK title
Joaquin Niemann started the week by firing his caddie and coach after missing the cut at the 2025 Open Championship. He ended it in a similar fashion to how he has four other LIV Golf events this season: on top. Niemann won for the fifth time in 2025, running away with the title at LIV Golf UK at JCB Golf and Country Club. He finished at 17-under 196 for the week, beating Bubba Watson by three shots for the title. It's another $4 million payday for Niemann, who increases his lead on top of the LIV Golf individual standings with only two events left in the season, coming in Chicago and Indianapolis. LIV Golf's season finale in Michigan is the team championship. Watson made a run at Niemann in the latter stages of the final round, going 8 under in a six-hole stretch that included a pair of eagles on par 5s. He was within two shots of Niemann with four holes to play but bogeyed the par-4 15th when Niemann made birdie, and the lead was back to four with three holes to go. Watson's second-place finish was his best since joining LIV Golf. Caleb Surratt had his first podium finish for LIV Golf, placing third at 13 under.
