Brooks Koepka will have to rely on a wild card from Ryder Cup captain Zach Johnson after falling out of the automatic qualifying places in the final event.
Koepka's fifth major title in the US PGA Championship in May looked likely to secure his place in the side, but playing in the LIV Golf League meant his chances to earn more points were limited to the season’s other majors.
The former world number one finished 17th in the US Open and 64th in the Open and was fifth in the Ryder Cup standings at the start of the final counting event, the BMW Championship.
However, Max Homa’s tie for fifth at Olympia Fields and Xander Schauffele’s share of eighth place was enough to move them above Koepka, who dropped to seventh as a result.
The six automatic qualifiers for the team are world number one Scottie Scheffler, US Open champion Wyndham Clark, Open champion Brian Harman, Patrick Cantlay, Homa and Schauffele.
Johnson will name his six wild cards on August 29.
