The 43rd Ryder Cup is all set to begin on September 24 at Whistling Straits in Kohler, Wisconsin, where Team USA will lock horns against Team Europe. The latter is the defending champion of this event and will be hopeful of retaining the trophy this time around as well. 

Meanwhile, the Ryder Cup is a prestigious event, and every player wants to be a part of the team. However, not all players make it to the team, as the squad limit for the event is 12 players. So let us have a look at the top players who have never made it to the Ryder Cup team. 

Five big names who have never made it to a Ryder Cup team

Here are the Top 5 big names who have never played in the Ryder Cup so far.
