Ryder Cup players confirm participation in Procore Championship on PGA Tour

Keegan Bradley's wish to get as many members of his US Ryder Cup team competing in the Procore Championship on the PGA Tour this month has just about come true with 10 of his 12 players now confirmed in the field. 

Bradley, who finalised his team last week, has urged his players to build up their competitive reps on the PGA Tour in the lead up to the biennial dust-up with Europe at Bethpage in New York from 26-28 September.

There was feeling last time around in Rome after their five-point loss to Europe that players on Zach Johnson's team had spent too much time away from the golf course.

Bradley, who decided not to pick himself despite calls for him to become the first playing-captain since Arnold Palmer in 1963, has made it clear he wants his players to be fully focused on the job in hand ahead of regaining the Ryder Cup.

The skipper wants his players in form and ready to roll when the Friday foursomes swing around on the morning of Friday 26 September.

Last time at Marco Simone, Luke Donald's Europe swept the opening session 4-0 and it was an uphill battle for the stars and stripes from there.

With all that in mind, a total of 10 of Bradley's 12 team members have so far committed to the Procore Championship, which takes place on Silverado Resort’s North Course from 11-14 September. 

The Procore Championship, which was previously known as the Fortinet Championship, marks the start of the FedEx Cup Fall Series. 

The tournament falls in the same week of the BMW PGA Championship on the DP World Tour where Donald's European team members will be in action at Wentworth. 

Scottie Scheffler, JJ Spaun, Justin Thomas, Sam Burns, Ben Griffin, Russell Henley, Harris English, Patrick Cantlay, Cameron Young and Collin Morikawa have all put their names down on the list to compete in the 2025 Procore Championship in Napa Valley, California. 

Xander Schauffele has yet to confirm his participation, but his manager told Golfweek the two-time major champion is "undecided" at the minute. 

When Schauffele was pressed on the subject of playing in the Procore at last month's BMW Championship, Schauffele, who failed to qualify for the Tour Championship, said: "I don’t know how many guys have signed up or not, but I wouldn’t say there’s an expectation for us to play, but a lot of us do want to play just to stay fresh, knock off some rust. I’ll have an even longer break, so we’ll see how that goes."

Bryson DeChambeau wanted to take part in the tournament but as a result of him remaining suspended by the PGA Tour as a result of his ties to LIV Golf, the big-hitting American will be absent. 

With LIV Golf's season now finished, DeChambeau will therefore not be playing a single tournament this month before the Ryder Cup.
