Koepka Heavily Favored to Make Ryder Cup - 2023

Brooks Koepka was bumped out of the Ryder Cup automatic points qualifying after Xander Schauffele and Max Homa finished in the Top 10 at last week's BMW Championship.

Now, Koepka can only get on the squad by being selected as one of Zach Johnson's six captain's picks, which will be announced August 29.

Despite Koepka's world-class status, his link to LIV Golf could lead to exclusion. That said, Johnson has been noncommittal when asked if he'd select LIV players for the U.S. Ryder Cup team that will compete against Europe in Rome from September 29 through October 1.

All that said, the latest odds from SportsBetting.ag suggest Johnson will pick Koepka in the end. Koepka's -500 odds imply an 83.3% probability the five-time major champion will be on the team.
