As he prepares for one of the two majors he needs to complete a career Grand Slam—the U.S. Open, Scheffler also has his sights set on the 2025 season.
That season now includes a marquee trip to Farmingdale, New York, where he'll represent the United States in the 2025 Ryder Cup. The event will be held at Bethpage Black during the final weekend of September.
On Wednesday morning, the official Ryder Cup USA account tweeted:
'It's official. Scottie Scheffler will lead the U.S. Ryder Cup Team into Bethpage Black.'
Golf fans quickly reacted on X:
"lets go USA!" a fan tweeted.
Another golf fan tweeted, "Never a doubt about that."

'Representing the United States at the Ryder Cup has been one of the greatest honors of my career, and I look forward to doing so for a third time this September,' Scheffler said on the Ryder Cup's official website. 'I will do whatever it takes to help our team reclaim the Cup and cannot wait to play in front of the passionate New York spectators at Bethpage Black.'

This will be Scheffler's third appearance in the Ryder Cup, and he'll join team captain Keegan Bradley on the U.S. squad. Currently, the other automatic qualifiers, according to rankings, are Xander Schauffele, Bryson DeChambeau, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa and Russell Henley. Bradley will announce six captain's picks later in the season.
Born in Ridgewood, New Jersey, Scheffler will turn 29 later this month. He's held the top spot in the PGA Tour rankings since March 2022. With 16 PGA Tour victories to his name, he's currently preparing for the U.S. Open at Oakmont, where he'll look to capture his fourth major championship.
Scheffler's steady dominance and growing legacy could get him both individual accolades and team glory in 2025.
