The U.S. Ryder Cup team boats eight of the top-10 players in the world and six major champions as it tries to win back the Ryder Cup. The Americans hold a 26-14-2 record in the event, but they're not the defending champions as Europe won in Paris, France in 2018.
As the 43rd edition gets ready for Sept. 24-26 at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin, here’s a closer look at the American team (click here for the European team capsules):
Collin Morikawa
Age: 24
World ranking: 3
PGA Tour victories: 5
Major championship titles: 2 (2021 Open Championship, 2020 PGA Championship)
Ryder Cup record: Rookie
The lowdown: He's the reigning Open champion and a multiple winner this past season, but he's also been battling a back injury since the Olympics.
