In the latest European Ryder Cup team rankings, Tommy Fleetwood has moved up to No. 2
Tommy Fleetwood may have suffered a crushing defeat Sunday at the Travelers Championship but maybe he can exact some revenge on Keegan Bradley in September at Bethpage at the 2025 Ryder Cup.
The Ryder Cup rankings for both the U.S. and European teams were updated Sunday and Fleetwood has moved all the way up to No. 2. The top six after the Betfred British Masters on Aug. 24 will be automatic qualifiers for the Euro squad. Rory McIlroy is No. 1 and he is the only European player to have already clinched a spot but Fleetwood seems to be in fine position to make a fourth Ryder Cup team.
