Despite heading to LIV Golf last year, Tyrrell Hatton earned an automatic bid to his fourth consecutive Ryder Cup this year.
The 33-year-old, once the fifth-ranked golfer in the world, will again be representing Team Europe, looking to go 3-1 in his Ryder Cup career.
Hatton has won 13 times as a pro golfer — eight on the European Tour and one each on the PGA Tour and LIV.

Hatton has earned $24,109,198 in PGA Tour winnings and roughly another $31 million overseas.
His big payday, though, came when he signed with the Saudi-backed league. His deal is reportedly worth more than $60 million in guaranteed money, and he has won $24,450,544 in tournaments there.
Put it all together, and Hatton has made close to $140 million.

In his final year on the PGA Tour, Hatton took home more than $8.3 million in prize money. Nearly $3 million of that came from a second-place finish at The Players, and a T3 finish at the Wells Fargo Championship netted another $1.15 million.
This is the first Ryder Cup where both sides will have at least one LIV player — Brooks Koepka was the lone representative in 2023 for Team USA. This year, the United States has Bryson DeChambeau.
Hatton owns an individual record of 5-4-2 in Ryder Cup play, going 4-2-2 in team play and 1-2 in singles.
But his veteran leadership will be a nice shoulder to lean on as Team Europe aims to win a Ryder Cup on the road for the first time since 2012, a feat the Americans have not accomplished since 1993.
