As of writing, we are three months out from the Ryder Cup and, between now and then, several players have the chance to throw their hat into the ring in terms of selection.
One of those is Patrick Reed who, at LIV Golf Dallas, overcame a four-man playoff to secure his maiden LIV Golf title and, with it, a big statement towards US Ryder Cup captain, Keegan Bradley.

I do not think that he has really been considered for a spot on the team, however, due to not being invited to Bradley’s big dinner during the Truist Championship, where the most recent Ryder Cup team players, Presidents Cup team members and other contenders were all in attendance.
Brooks Koepka and Bryson DeChambeau from LIV Golf were both invited so it was strange that Reed was not, especially as it came just a month after he was the leading American finisher at Augusta National. Perhaps he has fallen out of favor after…
