DJ had a 7-9-0 record at the 2021 Ryder Cup, where Team USA beat the international team with a whopping 19-9 victory. The golf pro was keen on a chance to once again recreate those heroics. “It’s something I’ve always enjoyed playing, and in the last Ryder Cup, I played pretty well,” he stated. “If I play well for the rest of the year, hopefully, I’ll get a consideration.”

Brooks Koepka, too, wishes to represent his country

Johnson isn’t the only one keen on leading Team USA to victory at the international event. Koepka too wishes to do his part, despite the uncertainty surrounding the entire situation. “I have no idea [if we’ll be eligible], and it’s not up to me, so I can’t make that decision,” he stated, knowing that despite them being eligible, the odds were against them. “But if they choose us, we’ll be ready to go.”

Both DJ and Koepka see a glimmer of hope in competing in the international event. And considering their recent performances, they could certainly be a valuable asset to the American side. But ultimately, the decision falls to Zach Johnson, so all they can really do is hope!
