U.S. Ryder Cup team to take scouting trip to Whistling Straits this weekend

The U.S. Ryder Cup team has reportedly planned a scouting trip to Whistling Straits this weekend.

American assistant captain Davis Love III told Golfweek’s Adam Schupak that Steve Stricker will host as many as 10 players for a two-day practice session on Sunday-Monday at this month’s Ryder Cup host venue, less than two weeks before the official matches begin.

The purpose of the trip is to familiarize the American team members with the layout, which hosted PGA Championships in 2004, 2010 and 2015. While some U.S. players, including Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koepka and likely captain’s pick Jordan Spieth, have played Whistling Straits, the majority of the team, notably Collin Morikawa and Bryson DeChambeau, have not.
