The United States team for the 2023 Ryder Cup is complete after captain Zach Johnson revealed his six wildcard picks.

Two-time major winner Justin Thomas is among Johnson’s selection, with the two-time major winner backed despite his poor form this year.

Brooks Koepka is the lone LIV Rebel in Team USA’s 12, while Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Collin Morikawa and Sam Burns complete the team.

The six automatic spots in Johnson’s selection were filled by Scottie Scheffler, Wyndham Clark, Brian Harman, Patrick Cantlay, Max Homa and Xander Schauffele after consistent performances from the sextet across the PGA Tour season..

This year’s edition of the biennial event will be hosted by the Marco Simone Golf and Country Club in Italy over three days from 29 September.

Luke Donald, Johnson’s European counterpart, will confirm his wildcard picks next week.
