The European Ryder Cup team will be finalized on Sunday evening at the end of Johnnie Walker Championship at Gleneagles. Ten players will automatically qualify and European Captain Nick Faldo will make his two wild card picks at 2 p.m. ET.
This week's Deutsche Bank Championship is the last event for American hopefuls to impress Captain Paul Azinger. He will make his Captain's Picks in New York at 10 a.m. on Tuesday, the day after the second event in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup is complete.
Below is a look at how the players looking for those final spots on both sides are doing:
