Moreover, there are still around ten days remaining for the BMW Championship, which is the deadline for the qualification. And the top six players from the U.S. Ryder Cup points table will earn a spot in the United States team. However, since the two spots are already confirmed, the fight for the remaining four spots will continue until the final round of the BMW Championship. 

However, even the remaining four spots for direct qualification are almost confirmed apart from the final spot. Since there is a big gap between Bryson DeChambeau, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, and the 6th spot, it will be interesting to see who will take up the final 6th spot. Meanwhile, as of now, it is Xander Schauffele in 6th place. But Jordan Spieth, who is at 7th place, isn’t too far behind and can make a move with some good performance at Northern Trust and The BMW Championship. 

Furthermore, Captain Steve Stricker will choose the remaining six players, who he thinks are in form and deserve a place in the team. Steve will select these six players after the final FedExCup playoff Tour Championship.
