Michael Kim Has the Big Attainment in Ryder Cup

The recent news revolves around Michael Kim. The public has been discussing the hot topic because he makes the massive jump in the Ryder Cup USA rankings after John Deere Classic win. Michael Kim won his first PGA Tour after dominating at the John Deere Classic. He finished 27-under. His recent victory seems to be influencing for his ranking. He moves up from no. 117 to the no. 50. That is a massive gape since he moves up 67 places from his current ranking.

Now, with the no. 50 in the Ryder Cup USA rankings, he will have more confidence to be joining more competitive tournaments in the future.

Because of the John Deere Classic Win, Kim was also the biggest ranking mover of the week. Meanwhile, the no. 6 Bryson DeChambeau must drop one spot to no.7 after withdrawing from John Deere Classic. It was because of the right shoulder injury.

It is the fact that the US players will keep gaining the valuable points in 2018 at every non-opposite PGA tour event, as well as the WGC and significant through the 100th PGA Championship at Bellerive. The event will conclude on August 12, 2018. In the future, Captain Jim Furyk will dispatch his first eight players.

The Captain’s Selections will then determine the spot for the four remaining slots on the US team. But we have to wait until the officials release the information about the rest of the players. Captain Jim Furyk will announce the three selections of the players after finishing the Dell Technologies Championship. It is sensible since, after that event, there will be names of the players who deserve the spot. So, we can expect the rest of the names soon after September 3, 2018, if there is no hassle.

Then the final name of the selection will arrive after the BMW Championship. The final selection should happen soon after September 8, 2018.

So, how do the players earn the points in 2018? Here is the brief explanation of the points earning method. The upcoming Ryder Cup USA is still months away, but hypes have been there.
