Russell Hemley, Harris English, and Bryson Dashambo have all punched their tickets to the next RDER Cup after accumulating enough points through rigorous competition starting in 2024 up to this past weekend’s BMW Championship. These three join the already qualified Scotty Sheoffller, JJ Spawn, and Xander Schoffley in the top six secured through the US point system. The remaining six team members will be decided by Captain Bradley’s choices. Announced on August 27, adding an extra layer of excitement and unpredictability. Let’s take a quick look at the qualifiers. Sheffller at 29 years old is making his third straight appearance at the RDER Cup. As the world number one, he comes with a complex record of two wins, two losses, and three halves, spanning his appearances at Whistling Straits in 2021 and Marco Simony Golf Country Club in 2023. His recent victories have been standout moments. Most notably, his dominant 11 underpar 273 to clinch the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow, finishing five shots ahead of the nearest competitor. He also added his fourth major title this season at the Open Championship at Royal Port Rush, where his 17under 267 was a commanding fourshot victory. JJ Spawn is hitting his RDER Cup debut, but his name is now firmly on everyone’s radar after securing his first major at the US Open earlier this year with a clutch 64 ft putt on the final hole. The 34year-old has shown consistency on the tour with six top 10 finishes so far this season, including notable second place finishes at the Players Championship and the FedEx St. Jude Championship. Xander Schoffley is no stranger to team golf, appearing in his third consecutive RDER Cup after partaking in 2021 and 2023. His debut at Whistling Straits was impressive, going 310, and his career record stands at a balanced 440. A ninetime PGA Tour winner, Schoffley’s 2024 season was remarkable, claiming two majors, the PGA Championship at Valhalla and the Open Championship at Royal Trune. Then there’s Russell Henley stepping onto the RDER Cup stage for the first time at Beth Page Black. The 36-year-old secured his fifth victory on the PGA Tour earlier this year at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, finishing with a final round 70 to edge out the competition by just one stroke. His recent form has been solid, finishing tied for seventh at the 2024 US Open and also placing in the top five at the Open Championship and in several other majors of 2025. Harris English, also 36, is ready for his second RDER Cup after participating in 2021 at Whistling Straits, where he finished with a record of 1 12. This year, he claimed his fifth PGA Tour win at the Farmers Insurance Open with a memorable final round of 65. and he’s been in strong form in majors, notably with a second place finish at the Open Championship and a near win at the PGA Championship where he finished second with a 13 under total. Bryson Dashambo is returning for his third Rder Cup appearance, having previously competed in 2018 and 2021. His career record in the event stands at 231 with a standout victory in the 2024 US Open at Pinehurst number two where he made a dramatic par save on the final hole to secure the win by one stroke. His season has been characterized by impressive major performances including T5 finishes at the Masters, T2 at the PGA, and T10 at the Open. All told, the 2025 US Rider Cup team is shaping up to be a fascinating mix of seasoned veterans and rising stars. But the real drama unfolds when Captain Bradley announces his last six picks.
