In the video, one can hear Scheffler remark, “If he played one tournament on TOUR, I think he would have probably been on the team.” Scheffler is referring to Brooks’s potential inclusion on the Ryder Cup team.

The golfing world has since engaged in a number of discussions and debates in response to Scheffler’s seemingly casual remark. Is Scottie Scheffler honestly acknowledging the undeniable talent and possible contribution that Koepka may bring to the Ryder Cup team, or is he quietly making fun of Koepka’s recent limited involvement in PGA Tour events?

Koepka’s Ryder Cup fate hangs on captain’s choice after PGA Tour exclusion

Brooks Koepka’s participation in PGA Tour tournaments, which are essential for Ryder Cup standings, has been invalidated as a result of his complete dedication to LIV golf events. Koepka has fallen outside of this exclusive group despite his stunning victory at the 2023 Masters and PGA Championship, which initially earned him a coveted berth within the top six rankings.

The five-time major champion had a firmly held sixth position prior to the BMW Championship. Koepka, meanwhile, is in a vulnerable situation as a result of his subsequent drop out of the top five. Now, his chances of playing for the United States in the Ryder Cup mostly depend on Zach Johnson, the captain of the U.S. Team, who will choose the other six players.

If Scottie Scheffler’s prediction comes true, and if Brooks Koepka is selected for the Ryder Cup team, only time will tell if his extraordinary potential will be on full show. While waiting for the final roster announcements and the upcoming intense match, golf fans will definitely continue to follow the Ryder Cup saga with great interest.
