Xander Schauffele earned a spot in the 2023 US Ryder Cup team with his incredible performance at the 2023 Tour Championship. He was the sixth member of the team to auto-qualify.

The American golfer has previously played at the biennial event and possesses good experience in playing in team events. In his recent interview, Schauffele opened up about the Ryder Cup. When asked what it will take to win the Ryder Cup, Schauffele said:

“Nothing special. It may sound weird, but we didn’t do anything special at Whistling Straits... “People told me we haven’t won since before I was born. I think that’s great, because I don’t really care. I don’t think anyone really cares.”
