Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Bryson DeChambeau Picked for U.S. Ryder Team The U.S. Ryder team captain, Jim Furyk, added three big names in golf to his team on Tuesday. Woods, Mickelson and DeChambeau will join a slew of qualifying golfers to face Europe in France on Sep. 28-30. DeChambeau, ranked 7th in the world, will be making his first Ryder Cup appearance. Woods, ranked 26th in the world, has appeared seven times prior. Mickelson, ranked 24th in the world, will be playing for the 12th time. Woods accepted an assistant captain role for the team earlier this year, but Furyk said in a recent press conference that Woods will step down in order to prepare as a player. Mickelson took to Twitter to celebrate his appointment to the team. Furyk will make one final player selection on Monday. Thomas Bjorn, captain of the rival European team, will reveal his selections on Wednesday.
