IJR News — today's news from every sideU.S. Overhauls 2027 Ryder Cup Qualifying — Sep 9, 2026The United States will overhaul its 2027 Ryder Cup qualifying, using a year-long, 31-event points system starting at The American Express and ending after the BMW Championship, with the top six on the points list earning automatic spots and six captain’s picks to follow. Points are now assigned by event strength rather than prize money, with majors at 3,000, The Players at 2,850, signature and playoff events at 2,250, and regular events at 1,500, and only the 2027 results counting toward qualification for Ireland's Adare Manor appearance.
